If it's anything like my 3520 and I assume it is, a regular switch will work. You can also buy one that's very similar to the 3520 switch, from woodcraft. You just plug this one in but I would have to go back and look to see if it is 110 or 220.

>Thanks John,

I have a call in to Jet Technical Support to verify that leaving the switch on, and switching power on/off at the recepticle won't damage the inverter or motor
