Default Question Table Saw Switch Placement

Hi!

I am eyeing up a really good deal on a right-tilt Steel City Cab saw.
However, I noted in the images, e.g.,

http://www.steelcitytoolworks.com/pr...2&tool=3562 1

that the cabling for the switch appears to interfere somewhat with
access to the tilt adjustment wheel. Is this indeed the case? Or did
they just slap the switch on there for the pic but there is better
placement available?

Thanks!

Because the wheels are large and your arm moves up and down 8 or 9 inches
you will be cranking with your left hand and arm reaching around the out
side of the switch and cable. You will probably be banging your arm if you
reach between the switch and the cabinet to make adjustments, cable or no
cable. You will also be making tilt adjustments much less often thatn
height adjustments. It would be a non issue for me but then again I would
go left tilt.
