Switch Box Familiarization

The purpose of this section is to familiarize the user with the operation of the switch box BEFORE the router is plugged in.

WARNING DO NOT plug the router in at this time. An

ON switch will start and an unprepared user could possibly be seriously injured.

The switch box also features a safety key that prevents tools plugged into the switch box from being turned ON inadvertently. Removal of the safety key disables the switch box by locking the switch in the OFF position. Strike the switch paddle with your hand to turn the router OFF in an emergency situation. Please note paddle switch positions and reset button at this time. See Figure 16.
