I hope Roy and I don't cross paths with suggestions, but after reading the online operator's manual for the FS 30 Elite, I was wrong about the rotary switch and the auxiliary start/stop contacts. The rotary switch is the thermal overload protection, but the controls to turn on and off the machine are on the side panel. If I understand the manual, you turn on the machine by pressing the white button and turn off the machine by engaging the emergency stop button.
There appears to be something wrong with your machine if the start button (Item C in the illustration below) is illuminating as soon as you rotate the switch (Item B in the illustration below). The light in the start button should only illuminate when the button is pushed and the machine is running. The light on the side panel (Item D in the illustration below) should illuminate as soon as you turn the switch.
I've never seen the motor brake release selector (Item E in the illustration below), so this is new territory for me. It is not identified in the electrical schematic. However, it is interesting that the manual states the motor brake releases 20 seconds after activation of the selector switch and you are observing the motor stopping after 20 seconds. Are you sure the brake release switch is in the correct position?
Below is an annotated section from the electrical schematic showing the components identified above.
