Foot Switch Problem

[Sam777]

Hello Fellow Members,

I have been totally away for nearly one year now. We just finished moving from SCal to San Antonio Texas .

I have been trying to do some scrolling and found out that my Excalibur 16 is not working with my FOOT SWITCH but it did before the move. The switch works fine if I plug a light in the back but not when I plug the saw. I thought there was problem with the switch so I just bought a new one but issue is the same.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you all

Sam

Does you saw work normal with your saw's on/off switch?

Hi,

Yes it does. I tried that and it works fine that way.

OMG,

This is embarrassing. I had the saw switch on OFF every time I plugged into the foot switch.

Thank you for that question

 I Appreciate your quick reply. You saved the day

Just a wild guess,, made do to experience...   You know the saying "been there, done that"1

Experience counts.

Thanks again

I did electrical Maintenance for 43 years and my first question was usually, "is it plugged in? and is it turned on?"surprisingly, that fixed many problems. 

 LOL.

Hi Mark:
I'm more familiar with the one finger salute, but that does not apply here at the Village
Never did, never will.......UNLESS!!!.....lol
Glad to hear your up and running Sam

I got to admit though.. I did the same thing when setting up my new Hawk.. I tried the saw first just using the main switch.. then I moved it to where it was going to be parked and hooked up the foot switch.. I almost called Bushton and said I want to return it for a full refund.. after waiting several months to even get the thing and other issues I had with them.. Glad I found the switch off before I did that.. So you're not the first one to do that..

Thank you all for the replies.

I am glad I'm settled and ready to be back on this great forum and scroll sawing

God Bless

Don't let them kid you, they have all done it or similar.  Heck, just the other day I tried to put a blade in backwards...

Me too. Very slow cutting but no fuzzies!
