It's a safety, no volt release switch. If the power goes off say because of a power cut, the machine stops. When it comes back on the saw will start up again with a "normal" switch.

This for when you don't know where the wires go back! 
Thank you for the wiring diagram, I did take some photos, but helpful anyway.
I have used this machine on a DIY basis for 20+ years and never had a power cut during use. So not much of a safety risk.
What about thermal overload?
The WT22-555 switch I seen is rated at 10Amps perhaps that deals with the ‘tripping’ under heavy load!

If it's in the original switch and the replacement doesn't have it then there won't be any thermal over load!
Brilliant saws, had mine over 30 years. Gone through a couple of switches in that time. Only just put the cap back tbh that I borrowed for my gennie.
£44 spread over 20 years, well worth it imo.
risk is still there regardless. bit like saying youve worn a seat belt for 20 years and never crashed, so why do you need one now?
Just to complete...
I bought a KJD20-2 NVR safety switch from ebay (china) for £10.39 , you can get them for less.
It fitted straight into the recess, the Dewalt cover had to be shaved slightly to be allow the screws to go fully home.
Only slight issue was lack of wiring diagram, switch said IN OUT . Found a similar switch on line showing:
14 live feed motor Out
24 neutral feed motor Out
13 live supply In
23 neutral supply In
had to crimp on 2 female spades
Result and not ripped off for £44
Hopes this helps a fellow diyer

Will be dead before 20 years
Very possibly well before if the Chinesium NVR switch goes t!ts up!
