Hie Suso : More images - I am left with doing the wiring of the switch - emergency stop button and an multisocket adapter. I can not figure out the flow of how to connect. I am thinking : From mains then - E-stop -then NVR On/OFF switch then - Adapter?

hello!
I think the best option is to use a Paddle Switch for the circular saw like this one:
You must install a plug between the switch and the circular saw, in order to plug the saw.
For the jigsaw and the router, I prefer to turn them on and off in the tool itself, I think it's safer.

okay. Sounds like a good idea. however the pedal switch is non existent in my country. But i have this below:
Would you know how to connect this type of switches? The Emergency stop did not come with any manual on how to connect as well as the NVR Switch.

I don't recommend using this type of switch/emergency. They have a big problem, when you have the saw working and you press the emergency, when releasing the emergency the saw turns again, which can be dangerous.
You would need to install a contactor between the switch/emergency, but I think they are quite expensive and I do not know how to do it.
The paddel switches already come with a system that avoid that problem.
I bought them on amazon Usa, they were not expensive and the shipping to spain was also cheap...
