Router Table Operation
CONNECTING THE ROUTER POWER CORD
TO THE SWITCH
• MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH POWER
CORD IS NOT PLUGGED INTO ANY ELECTRICAL
OUTLET AT THIS TIME. IF IT IS, UNPLUG IT.
• MAKE SURE THAT THE ROUTER SWITCH IS IN
THE OFF POSITION.
1. Plug the router power cord into one of the electrical
outlets on the back of the switch assembly.
2. Form the excess power cord into a coil.
3. Wrap two pieces of friction tape or cable ties around
the coiled cord at opposite sides of the coil.
4. Allow some slack so that the cord does not become
stretched when it is plugged into the switch box
outlets.
5. If desired, at this time plug the power cord from an
accessory, such as a wet/dry vac or light, into the
other outlet on the back of the switch assembly.
MAKE SURE THAT POWER
CORDS FROM THE ROUTER, ACCESSORIES, THE
SWITCH CASE, AND THE EXTENSION CORD DO
NOT AND CANNOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE
ROUTER OR ANY MOVING PARTS OF THE
ROUTER.
• This switch has a 15-amp rating and is
intended only for turning the router and
connected accessories such as a wet/dry
vacuum “ON” and “OFF.”
SWITCH OPERATION
This section explains the operation and features of
the switch prior to plugging the power cord into an
extension cord. The intent is to familiarize the user
with the switch operation without actually turning ON
the router.
The switch incorporates two positive features to
prevent inadvertent switching ON of the router and the
unauthorized, and possibly hazardous, use by others:
• There is a transparent cover over the actual switch to
prevent the accidental switching ON of the router. This
cover allows you to see a small red light on the switch
toggle when the switch is turned ON. The switch can
be turned OFF quickly by pushing the cover.
• The light is ON when the switch is ON.
• The light is OFF when the switch is OFF.
• The lockout key must be completely inserted into
the side of the switch case before the switch can be
turned ON.
To operate the switch:
MAKE SURE THAT THE EXTENSION CORD IS NOT
PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET
BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER.
1. Insert the lockout key into the side of the switch case.
See Figure 17 on page 21.
2. To turn the router ON, lift the switch cover and
toggle switch to ON (RESET) position. See A above.
Gently lower the switch cover. Letting the switch
cover drop closed may cause the switch to turn OFF.
3. To turn the router OFF, press the switch cover. The
switch toggle will be in the OFF position, as shown in
B above.
NEVER LEAVE THE ROUTER
UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR BEFORE
IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
4.To lock switch in the OFF position, press the cover
to turn the switch OFF and remove the lockout key
completely from the side of the switch case. The red
slide panel should cover the top half of the switch, as
shown in C above.
With the lockout key removed and the red slide panel
covering the top half of the switch toggle, the switch
CANNOT be toggled to the ON position.
