This machine has a paddle-type power switch that resembles the switch on the [[:Saw_Stop_Table_Saw#Starting_and_Stopping_the_Saw | table saws in the Wood Shop.]]  

Pull the paddle out to start.

Push it in to stop.

''A paddle switch is useful if the operator's hands are occupied. The machine can be stopped with an elbow of a shoulder if necessary.''
