Not at all.

A momentary contact switch in a foot operated switch provides the

switch function required for a safety device.

In addition, it provides under voltage proction if the necessary
additional devices have been included.

A "Push on, push off" switch whether it is mounted in a foot switch or
a wall switch, provides a convenience function, but definitely a
SAFETY function.


I guess we'll just have to disagree on how much safety is really offered by
the momentary switch versus other problems it can introduce.
