SWITCH OPERATION
This section explains the operation and features of the switch prior to plugging the power cord into an extension cord. The intent is to familiarize the user with the switch operation without actually turning ON the router.
The switch incorporates two positive features to prevent inadvertent switching ON of the router and the unauthorized, and possibly hazardous, use by others:
•There is a transparent cover over the actual switch to prevent the accidental switching ON of the router. This cover allows you to see a small red light on the switch toggle when the switch is turned ON. The switch can be turned OFF quickly by pushing the cover.
•The light is ON when the switch is ON.
•The light is OFF when the switch is OFF.
•The lockout key must be completely inserted into the side of the switch case before the switch can be turned ON.
To operate the switch:
MAKE SURE THAT THE EXTENSION CORD IS NOT PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER.
1.Insert the lockout key into the side of the switch case. See Figure 17.
2.To turn the router ON, lift the switch cover and toggle switch to ON (RESET) position. See A above.
Gently lower the switch cover. Letting the switch cover drop closed may cause the switch to turn OFF.
3.To turn the router OFF, press the switch cover. The switch toggle will be in the OFF position, as shown in B above.
NEVER LEAVE THE ROUTER UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR BEFORE IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
4.To lock switch in the OFF position, press the cover to turn the switch OFF and remove the lockout key completely from the side of the switch case. The red slide panel should cover the top half of the switch, as shown in C above.
With the lockout key removed and the red slide panel covering the top half of the switch toggle, the switch CANNOT be toggled to the ON position.
