Do not plug router motor power
cord into standard wall outlet. It
must be plugged into the router table switch.
Power
tool switches and controls need to be within your reach
in emergency situations.
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, wet/dry vac, etc.
The switch has an internal, resettable circuit
breaker to provide overload protection.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The switch box cord should only be plugged into a
14-gauge (or heavier), three-wire extension cord with
a three-hole grounding receptacle and three-prong
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.
DAMAGED OR WORN EXTENSION CORDS ARE
NOT TO BE USED AND ARE TO BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY
.
The electrical outlets at the back of the switch box will
accept three-hole extension cords.
The electrical receptacles at the back of the switch box
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.
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.
SWITCH CONTROL BOX
Router Table Operation
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 inserting
or removing the plug from the outlet.
Risk of Electric
Shock.
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.
Such precautionary safety measures reduce the
risk of injury due to loss of control.
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.
The switch has a rating of 15 amps.
CONNECTING THE ROUTER POWER CORD
TO THE SWITCH
Before connecting router to
router table switch box, ensure that
the router switch is OFF, and that the router table
switch box is unplugged.
Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk of unintentional tool operation.
1. Plug the router power cord into one of the electrical
outlets on the back of the switch box (10).
2. Form the excess power cord into a coil.
3. Wrap two pieces of friction tape or strong cord 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.
Before starting to work, ensure
that the 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.
Such precautionary safety measures reduce the risk
of injury due to loss of control.
