SWITCH BOX

Introduction
See Figure 12
A conveniently located Switch Box allows the operator to:
turn the router ON and OFF from the front of the table
simultaneously operate other devices such as a light or
a vacuum
It also features a resettable, internal circuit breaker that
protects your equipment against overloads.

Proper grounding diverts potentially dangerous electricity
away from the operator. The switch box is intended for
use with a three-prong, grounded outlet. The switch
box's electrical cord features an equipment-grounding
connector and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into an
accommodating outlet that conforms to all local electrical
codes and the National Electric Code (NEC).

WARNING:
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG
If it does not fit correctly, a qualified electrician must
install a compatible outlet.

WARNING:
AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
NEVER connect the equipment grounding connector
(green wire) to a "hot" electrical terminal. When
repairing or replacing the electric plug or cord,
DO NOT connect the grounding connector to a "hot"
electrical terminal.
Consult a qualified electrician if you do not understand
the grounding procedures or if you are not sure
whether the switch box is correctly grounded.
REPLACE DAMAGED CORDS
Damaged and/or worn cords must be repaired or
replaced immediately.
Extension cords must be three-wire, 14 gauge or
larger (maximum 25 foot length), with three-prong
"male" plugs, and three hole "female" receptacles
fabricated to accept the tool's plug. The electrical
outlets on the bottom of the switch box accept
three-prong grounded plugs and the two-prong plugs
of double insulated tools.
If a correctly grounded outlet is unavailable, use a
temporary adapter to connect the switch box's three-
prong plug to a two-hole receptacle. Make use of the
temporary adapter only until a qualified electrician
installs a correctly grounded, three-prong outlet. The
green rigid lug or grounding wire MUST connect to the
ground on the outlet. See Figure 14
WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT touch prongs when inserting or removing
plug from outlet. Improper grounding can produce
potentially hazardous electrical discharges that can, in
turn, cause serious injury or death - especially in wet
conditions, such as a basement, outside, or near
plumbing.
DO NOT attach a 3-way plug or any other adapter to
outlets on bottom of switch box.
Only use the switch box when it is properly assembled
to the router table AND when the router is properly
attached to the router table.
