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.

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...
