Professional Power Tool Safety On/Off Switch Kit (71652)
Industrial-Grade Master Power Control for Woodworking Machinery
The POWERTEC 71652 is a professional-grade Single Phase On/Off Switch Kit, specifically precision-engineered to serve as a high-reliability safety hub for your workshop’s most critical power tools. This kit is the definitive choice for woodworkers and machine operators who need to upgrade or replace factory switches on table saws, drill presses, and jointers. Featuring a dual-voltage 120V/230V induction-rated switch, the 71652 utilizes a 2-pole/2-throw configuration, allowing it to simultaneously interrupt both the hot and neutral lines (or both phases of a 220V line) for absolute electrical isolation.
Constructed with a universal gang box installation kit, this set includes #6-32 screws and nuts, specifically designed to bypass original M4 hardware for seamless mounting into standard deep electrical gang boxes or extension rings. The switch features color-coded, indented push-buttons for intuitive tactile operation, and the start button is lock-capable to prevent unauthorized machine activation. Whether you are building a custom router table or maintaining an industrial dust collector, this switch delivers the axial mechanical integrity and electrical safety required for showroom-quality results.
- High-Capacity Operation: Supports up to 2HP/28A at 120V or 3HP/16A at 230V for heavy-duty motors.
- Lockout Safety Integration: The start button can be physically locked, ensuring a child-safe and secure shop environment.
- Dual-Phase Switching: 2-Throw design breaks both lines of the circuit for total safety and code compliance.
- Precision Hardware Kit: Replaces metric M4 screws with US standard 6-32 hardware for easy gang-box mounting.
- Industrial Standards: Fully approved by UL, TUV, CSA, CE, and ETL for professional workshop use.
