? HAHAHAHAHAHA?
STUPID? isn't it?
I got some strong solenoids and a power supply and? rigged up a
pendant on/off stitch that hangs from the? ceiling on a retracting
coiled cord.?? The hard part was finding solenoids string enough.

I just cut the first 4¡¯ x 8¡¯ sheet of plywood on my new Hammer K3,
and was perplexed at the location of the on/off switch. With the
plywood oriented with the 8¡¯ length perpendicular to the saw blade
(cutting into 3¡¯ and 5¡¯ lengths) I was set up and ready to make
the cut. In order to turn the saw on I had to crawl under the
overhanging portion of the plywood to access the on/off switch. I
can¡¯t see any other means of turning on the saw. Given that the
Hammer line is CE compliant with all of the safety considerations
of blade guard, splitter, sliding table that keeps ones hands away
from the blade, blade brake and such I find it odd that it is
impossible to turn the saw on without having to get on your hands
and knees to access the switch. I see that the higher end format
saws have the switch on the end of the sliding table. This makes
complete sense because the end of the sliding table never travels
to the start of the blade diameter and so is always exposed or
?physically available to the user. Am I doing something wrong in
my use of the saw, is there another way to orient the workpiece so
I don¡¯t have to crawl under it to turn on the saw?
