GENERAL INFORMATION
The power switch is designed for use with most
BOSCH Router Tables. It provides the convenience
of an ON (RESET)-OFF switch at the front of the
table, thus eliminating the need to reach underneath
the table to turn the router ON and OFF.
The power switch also provides an optional
simultaneous ON-OFF control of an additional
accessory, such as a light or wet/dry vac.
The switch has an internal, resettable circuit
breaker to provide overload protection.
Cord Routing
Route the switch cord and any accessory power
cords through the notch in the vacuum port on the
back of the router table cabinet.

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 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 case.
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 case.
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 acces-
sories such as a wet/dry vacuum “ON” and “OFF”.
