Router Table Operation
SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 14-gauge (or heavier) three-wire extension cord with
a three-hole grounding receptacle and three-hole
grounding plug is to be used for connecting the
switch to an electrical outlet.
DAMAGED OR WORN EXTENSION CORDS
ARE NOT TO BE USED AND ARE TO BE
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY
.
The electrical cord at the back of the switch will accept
three-hole extension cords.
The electrical receptacles at the back of the switch will
accept either three-prong or two-prong plugs from a
router or accessory.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides the path of least resistance for electrical
current in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
This switch box is equipped with an electrical cord
that has an equipment-grounding connector and a
grounding plug.
The extension cord must be plugged into a matching
outlet
that has been installed by a licensed
electrician and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the plug from the switch if it does not
plug into the extension cord. Obtain an extension cord
with the proper outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of an electrical shock.
The conductor with insulation that has a green outer
surface, with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-
grounding conductor.
DO NOT CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR TO A LIVE TERMINAL.
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if there
is doubt as to whether the electrical outlet or extension
cord is properly grounded.
DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS
TO TOUCH TERMINALS OF THE PLUG WHEN
PLUGGING IT INTO OR REMOVING IT FROM
THE OUTLET.
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED,
A POWER TOOL CAN PRESENT POTENTIAL
HAZARDS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH CAN
POSSIBLY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
OR DEATH, particularly when used in a damp
location, in proximity to plumbing, or out-of-doors.
If an electrical shock occurs, there is always the
potential of a secondary hazard, such as your
hands contacting the router bit, or falling down
or against an object.
USE THE SWITCH BOX ONLY
WHEN PROPERLY ASSEMBLED TO THE ROUTER
TABLE. USE ONLY WITH A ROUTER THAT HAS
ALSO BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED ON A
PROPERLY ASSEMBLED ROUTER TABLE.
THE SWITCH HAS A RATING OF
15 AMPS. DO NOT EXCEED A TOTAL COMBINED
RATING OF 15 AMPS WHEN CONNECTING THE
ROUTER AND ANY ACCESSORIES SUCH AS A
LIGHT OR WET/DRY VACUUM.
