Either way, make sure you get the momentary switch, otherwise any
safety aspect is negated. I use one of those foot switches with my
router and like knowing that it will shut off if my foot moves.

I would not use the momentary switch. That forces you to remain in what can
become an awkward position, in order to keep your foot on the switch. I
disagree that any safety aspect is negated - in fact as I said - it could be
argued that momentary can create its own unsafe environment.
