    I just put one of these on my tractor. I have a PTO mounted wood chipper. Occasionally, a large hard wood branch, can stall the chipper. However the tractor can keep running, which can ruin the belts before I can run around to get to the ignition switch. I mounted it in the position the person feeding the chipper can easily mount it.

    This is my kill switch extension cord.
    Its a plate that's been bend to 90 degree angle.

    To the longest side, i mounted a kill switch and electric outlet.
    In the shortest side is a magnet. ( 15 kg lifting magnet )

    Specially with tablesaw, this is usefull.
    When put to the floor its much easier to reach it with your feet.
    Than power switch that's placed to the side of the saw, with your hand.

    Usually you can see, hear, or feel when workpiece that you are cutting, doesn't go straight. Then risk of "kickback" gets higher.
    One can try to pull workpiece back, lift it off or something.. but, its sometimes tricky. Specially with wide boards, both hands on it.

    Then just stamp to the killswitch. [/QUOTE]
