SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 14 gauge (or heavier) three-wire extension cord with a three-hole grounding receptacle and three-hole grounding plug is to be used for connecting the switch to an electrical outlet.

DAMAGED OR WORN EXTENSION CORDS ARE NOT TO BE USED AND ARE TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

The electrical cord at the back of the switch will accept three-hole extension cords.

The electrical receptacles at the back of the switch 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.

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.

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.

DO NOT CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR TO A LIVE TERMINAL.

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 or wet/dry vac. The switch has an internal, resettable circuit breaker to provide overload protection.

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 PLUGGING IT INTO OR REMOVING IT FROM THE OUTLET.

IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, A POWER TOOL CAN PRESENT POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH CAN POSSIBLY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH, particularly when used in a damp location, in proximity to plumbing or out-of-doors. If an electrical shock occurs, there is always the potential of a secondary hazard, such as your hands contacting the router bit, or falling down or against an object.

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.

THE SWITCH HAS A RATING OF 15 AMPS. 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.
