Hi to all
I have a situation where my on off switch is bad. It stays powered on. Off dosen't work.
I have to unplug it to shut it down.
Before I start using a pry bar to take it out or disasemble the lower portion to get at it can it be removed from the outside? It appears that it snaps in and has a catch on either side to
hold it in place (similar to others I've used in the past).
Any help with this before I break something would be helpful. It's a B machine.
Thanks Chino

You just have to take the bottom cover off, its not a big deal. There are a about 10 screws as I recall.

I had one machine do that... I removed the cover with the power un plugged and un shorted the wires on the back of the switch.... Fixed.... Just wiggling the wires might help too.... You may need to order a switch from LHR.

Westlake Ace hardware has a variety of switches . They even had the perfect replacement switch for my RBI Hawk scrollsaw with locking key. A switch like that is probably under $5.00 and no $12.00 shipping.
