I just bought a table saw with one of these switches on it. I want to
change to 240v from 120v, and the seller says the switch is only good for
120v. Well, it says on it 600v, so it probably will work at 240v, but I
don't know how. Reitech's website is down, so I am guessing they are out of
business(?)
If anyone has one of these, maybe you can dig your instruction sheet out and
help me. Also, there is a box next to the switch that looks like it has
something that pulls out, and is marked "on" and "off". What the heck is
that?
Thanks.

Well, thank you very much for the info.
They are still in business, and will look into why their website is down.
The switch is good to 600v, but he says the critical component is the
magnetic switch, and that is not part of their switch, so he can't tell me
anything. The hunt continues.
A 240 volt switch needs 2 poles, i.e. two wires in and two wires out. The
600 volt rating on the switch just means the switch can handle up to 600
volts per pole.
I do not know what the box does.
