SWITCH BOX

Introduction

See Figure 20

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.

Electrical Hookup

See Figure 21

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).

Fig. 21

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 22

Fig. 22

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.
