Marv, that would be the Magic Black Smoke... ;-)
Another important consideration is that most of these Chinese
Christmas Light Remote things use a Triac for switching the lamps.
Not appropriate AT ALL for switching motor loads. They cost about
$3.00 to build, and are not worth every penny... <g>

A fire?
Buy the right equipment for the job. You can get a Long Ranger or you can
get appliance modules from Smart Home. They have 22V modules also.

Early, even instantaneous, failure of the remote and possibly a fire.
False economy to save $50.

Be sure to have a couple of working smoke detectors in the shop before
using those wimpy remotes.
Why not pick up a Shop Fox remote (price), or other remote intended for
the load of a DC?
