I have an old craftsman radial arm saw. Carftsman being craftsman made it do the thing will not turn on unless I have the little oval yellow two pronged safety key. I misplaced the damn thing again and this time I am sure it is gone for good.

It has been two years since I used the saw and lord knows where the little yellow thing wondered off to. Anyone know how to bypass this little feature? I have no little kids running around in my shop and in my shop when one machine is running the rest are unplugged. There is no safety issue to worry about here.

Should I mention that it is a good idea to unplug the saw before you do any of the above?
