Thought I'd better start a separate post with this question, but it's the same question as on the tail end of the thread I started about the electrical switch problem.
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=30647

Back when MM thought I had an undervoltage problem they told me to dial the switch down from 30A to 25A. Once I discovered I had 238V I thought it best to leave it alone so I never looked that closely at the switch or dial. After getting the switch swapped out yesterday I get looking closer and realized the new switch is not the same as the old one. Of course I discover this after MM is once again closed for the weekend so I emailed them. We'll see what they say Monday.

The old switch has AEG Part Nbr 910-201-211 and says "16..20A" and the dial was set at 20A.
The new switch has AEG P/N 910-201-212 and says "20..25A". The dial came set at 20A and so far I haven't changed it. The saw now powers up but I haven't done any cutting yet to put it under load with the new switch.
So based on MM's initial advice I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have a switch that says "25..30A" ??
Any MM16 owners care to pop the switch cover on theirs and see what AEG P/N and amp range their switch is (and what it's set on)?

Doug,
The dial sets the overload protection for the motor. It should be set close to the listed motor rated amps. I have an MM20. The motor is rated at 22.4 amps & the dial is set half way between 20 & 25.
