Constant/Momentary/High‑Bypass
Momentary switch: The momentary switch is located on the top right
side of the foot pedal. The momentary switch works in conjunction
with the three‑position switch when it is in momentary or high‑bypass
position.
Three‑position switch: This three‑position switch provides three
options for operating the motor: constant on, momentary, and
high‑bypass.
•
Constant on: This allows the motor to run continuously at the
speed selected by the speed control knob without the use of the
momentary switch.
•
Momentary: This allows the motor to activate with the
momentary switch at the speed selected by the speed control
knob.
