UK How do I wire an emergengy stop button to an extension cord?

Get a heater that isn't likely to set fire to the carpet or sit you existing heater on a non combustible surface because you can't watch the heater all the time with your hand over the stop switch. Remove the risk.

Aye, reading again, fully, it seems a real problem to be messing with.
Could get a direct line to the fire station, maybe.

Thanks for your advice. I'm buying a new heater now. Probably be cheaper than getting a direct line to the fire station .

Can you show a pic of the heater.

If the heater is the problem you should be either getting it repaired or replaced.

I’ve got exactly the same Emergency Stop that I’m adding to my Myford ML7 lathe.
Though I’ve had it 45 years, it was left to me from my grandad, though I realised it was using 7 core cable, as per vehicle trailer wiring. Due to the kick of the motor when starting in reverse or forward, the cable wore through and shorted out, nearly myself as it was right in front of me.
I’m putting new 3 core from a 13A plug to the existing Dewhurst Forward | Stop | Reverse switch, which I’ve just cleaned and rebuilt, but with the Emergency Stop between.
However, I hadn’t realised the ES was 3A, so if anyone can suggest what would be best, I’d appreciate the information .
I’m not an electrician so have asked locally, but had no response

The estop should be used with a relay contractor.
You would be better looking for a direct online start stop control box and this may come with estop or you will be able to add it in circuit to work with the internal control circuit

I apreciate your response, but as I say, I’m not an electrician so what you’re telling me is way beyond me.
I’m trying to get a qualified electrician but I’ve had bo reply

That should be ok I would have thought.

I would prefer a direct online starter with overload protections but it doesn't have to have one just gives extra protection for overload
