If it is in the stop string, you should be able to go into your electrical panel and find the two connections and check for continuity between those two terminals or even disconnect the wires and use a jumper to short across the two terminals. If it starts then, you would have to loosen and disconnect the jumper to stop it, but it will tell you if one of the switches, be they microswitches or your red stop buttons are open.
Then to find the problem, just get to the switch itself in each location and disconnect the wires, check across the terminals for continuity and lack of when the buttons are pushed.

So, I went to start my CF741 today and no luck. ?Power is on to the machine, the reverse light does not illuminate, so I presume it is a failed stop switch. ?I¡¯ve blown out the ones that I¡¯m aware of (on the slide to access the saw and spindle, the one for opening the jointer table, and the travel on the planer bed) but no luck. ?I¡¯ve got the cabinet open and the electrical diagrams out, but am not sure how to determine how many switches there are from the diagrams. ?Nor am I sure how to tell with my multimeter which one is failing. ?Any suggestions? ?I¡¯ve got a call into tech support but they didn¡¯t call me back this afternoon¡
