My welder is an old 3 phase Transmig 275. It is a large welder on wheels and as such, it has my welding caddy sitting on top. Now I cannot be bothered to take the caddy off, unscrew to the side/top panel to get to the rollers every time I purge the line.
So, I decided to put a SPST toggle switch in line with the spool motor (24v DC), so I can turn the wire feed on/off. I also added a 3 phase power switch to the control panel as well, as these machines never had them. You turn them on/off at the wall.
Remember also to clear the line and wind out your reg after closing the bottle at the end of the day. This will take the pressure of the diaphragm and give your reg extended life.
