Could the switch really get hot enough to produce flames or cause nearby combustibles to ignite? I would think the user would have released the trigger long before it got hot enough to become a fire hazard. Thoughts? |

Wearing Gloves............... perhaps it overheats while OFF,when a battery is left mounted. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
