Have it break both lines in case you ever will be on 240V service. I intend (and suggest to you) that you replace it with a double pole, single throw (DPST) toggle switch. I have one on one saw and reallt don't like the way it works. I would suggest something about that keyed switch you have. They all look like chit and have wires stretching all over the place. But I've seen several attempts at changing it, from putting a toggle switch on the top of the yoke handle to placing an entire handy box on the top end of the arm. I really don't see it as being that inconvenient, or unsafe (just my personal opinion). As for the switch, I'd suggest you try it where it is for a while before moving anything. The hard part is getting the cable clamp on the motor to accept it, that's why I prefer the 14. For the larger ones (1030, 1030K, etc.) I use 12 guage, although I'm sure 14 would be OK for those. Without knowing what model that is: for the smaller motors (925, MBF, etc., the ones generally rated at 10 amps or less) I use 14 gauge wire. It sound like you are replacing all of it.
