Do You Fix Your Own Stuff?

[BLKSHEEP]

Magnets bypass magnetic switches.  We used to bypass them (out of sheer necessity) on various CNC machines.

It's a bit more complicated, it uses a magnet to complete a circuit but it also has several other n/o ,n/c contacts plus a coil that operates a plunger. The main control board (computer) looks for inputs from all that crap, if it doesn't receive those inputs perfectly it will not work. I've been an electrician for 30 yrs. and it kicked my azz. :'(

 

Or just remove the switch and use old fashioned wire nuts (or butt-splice) in it's place.

That's the old style switches, forget about trying that on these new models.

I do what I know how, have the tools to do and am comfortable doing. Currently doing my own fiberglass car work but just paid someone to weed eat since every weed eater I get my hands on breaks somehow.

 but some ahole rocket scientist designed a new magnetic switch that can't be bypassed. There's a special place in hell for that bastard >:D  >:D

 

 No one should develope new technology without first learning the ropes in the firearm industry. What sets us apart from MOST of the rest of the world is we can't afford to screw around. Technology would be so much more practical, user friendly and sensable if people learned weapon technology first.

Ortho for weeds that doesn't kill grass works very well.
