Need help with contactor or motor protection switch

[Jaromir Svoboda]

Hi,can anybody help me find this switch or contactor.
It is for Mini Max L55 sander.
Thank you.

Hi, do you physically operate it or is tucked inside the machine? If you don't operate it here's a solution.

Alternatively simply take it to any electrical supplier and they'll be able to provide a similar unit.

It looks like a manual motor starter with either an under voltage release or shunt trip.

Here's a similar starter of the same rating

Here's a link to an under voltage release for the above starter........................Regards, Rod.

Thank you Rod.
It is inside sander. Recently I had to reset it everytime I turned it off. Now is not working at all.
I was hoping to find same brand.

Take the cover off. Blow it out with compressed air, spray the contacts with Quick Drying electronics cleaner, put it back together, and try it, before looking for a replacement. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/automotive-rv-and-marine/fluids-and-lubrication/brake-cleaners/80882?x429=true&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQiAheXiBRD-ARIsAODSpWP88C8f-Vl9L_DTx6Vw0P_I9UjPzI3vF2S6gs02-mjEzI6SmQTGDXAaAidDEALw_wcB

or any other such contact cleaner

Can that little brown thing with blue wire in front be shunt trip for emergency switch?
My emergency switch does not work.
Can I remove it?
