Reply:I have a spot timer on my machine, and it does exactly what Dualie describes.  Hit the button, get current for the specified amount of time, then the contactor opens.I don't have a pedal yet so i am using a simple momentary switch on the torch for on/off control.If it doesn't fit, you aren't hitting it hard enough!Miller AerowaveMiller Radiator 1A4.5" DeWalt (with the paddle switch!)Jackson NexGen Helmet
