ABSTRACT:
A foot operated control unit for controlling a power circuit of an associated power driven device. The control unit includes at least one control mechanism which may be connected with the power circuit. The control unit also has a unitary base, composed of electrically non-conductive material, defining two mounting stations. Each mounting station includes a mounting bracket, a pair of positioning pins and a mounting slot in the base plate for mounting a control mechanism and an actuating lever. A foot operated unitary cover, or actuating member, composed of electrically non-conductive material is pivotally mounted to the base. The actuating lever cooperates with the actuating member to actuate the control mechanism in response to pivotal movement of the actuating member relative to the base.
