MM20 switch issue

[Matt Benton]

Has anyone had any problems with their switches on MM bandsaws, or heard of them? Specifically, the push button that powers the saw must be in the "out" position to power the saw, but mine is stuck in the "in" position, and therefore I can't turn the saw on. Usually, you have to turn the red knob that stops the saw in order to turn it back on, but it still won't pop out...

Thanks for any help!

Happens to me too. The botton is stuck. Cut the power and unscrew the power plate and with a pair of pliers "pull out" the stuck button.

I've had my button stick also. Open it up and blow some air in. That real fine saw dust from the band saw gets everywhere.
