Hi, I use a plain on / off foot switch similar to the Proxon FS switch available from Axminster with the Proxon mini jig saw because it is difficult to get to the on / off hand switch if I need to stop mid cut, I also use it on other hand held power tools such as the Dremel, the difference is mine has a standard UK 240v 3 pin trailing socket instead of the Euro socket, I sure a competent person could change the socket.
