Trying to bypass the starter switch with jumper cables is not going to be easy. The amp draw is so great on a 6 volt system, you probably won't get a good enough connection to crank it, and run the risk of melting the threads on the starter post so the nut won't come off.
The "safety switch" is not really a safety switch as most think. It "is" the starter switch, a large, high amp contactor that directly powers the starter. To test it, connect a test light or volt meter from the starter post to a bare metal ground, try the starter. If there is power to the starter post, and the starter doesn't run, there is a problem with the starter.
If no power to the starter, check for power at the battery side of the starter switch. Try the starter to put the circuit under load. If there is power to the starter switch, and none coming out, the starter switch is bad. Replacing the switch is easy, economical, and the only safe way to repair it!
BTW, I can faintly see the outside post of the generator is stamped F (field), so that leaves the post nearest he engine to be the A (armature).
