Simply plug the foot switch into the power outlet and plug the tool into the socket of the pedal. This is a momentary foot switch, which means that it turns your product on when your foot is on the pedal, and turns it off when you release your foot from the pedal. 16 amp, 125V, 3/4 HP foot switch for use with light-duty electrical devices.Specification:Output: 16 amp 125V/250VWire gauge: 18AWG Cord Length: 5-foot Review: I bought this for my Stripmeister wire stripper - A while back I purchased a Stripmeister wire stripper so I can recycle all the old wire I remove from construction projects. The stripper has paid for itself many times over, but I always wanted to make the task even easier. Before, everytime you wanted to use the machine, you would either have to turn it on and adjust the speed or just leave it running while you got more wire ready. I picked up this foot switch to see if this would change anything, Oh man, what a difference. Now I turn on the machine, adjust the the speed and take my foot off the switch when I need more wire. Then when I am ready, step on the foot switch and start feeding wire, I have easily shaved 25% of the work time off this process so I am making even more money. And the best part is, the motor isn't running continuously, and the on/off switch should last a lot longer. I now use this foot switch on my "wet" tile saw, my small table saw (not recommend for safety reasons) and other e-powered tools that I use regularly in my shop. I will be ordering a few more so I don't have to keep moving just one around all over my shop. This switch works great, is easy to set up, and will help you keep your eyes on your work. This switch is NOT recommended for large power tools pulling more than 10 amps or over 1/2hp. Review: As Advertised - Works fine. Would buy it again. ## Features - Easy to use: Deadman style- It works when you keep holding the switch with your foot, release to turn off.

Output: 220V/16A. 120V/16A **Q: Can you use it for 12 V** A: Maybe. It depends on the current draw of the 12 volt device. The internal switch is rated at 16 amps. So if your device needs less than that on 12 V, then yes. But be aware that the plug on the end is set up for US 120 V outlets. And you would be using it for a purpose other than its stated design. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought this for my Stripmeister wire stripper *by B***S on November 30, 2025* A while back I purchased a Stripmeister wire stripper so I can recycle all the old wire I remove from construction projects.
