ROUTER
AND SWITCH
OPERATION
This section
explains
operation
of the switch
with the
power cord plugged
into the extension
cord.
The router
will turn ON when the red paddle
on the
switch
box is pulled
up to the ON position.
1. Position
the ON/OFF switch
on the router in the
ON position.
On certain routers this will require the
use of the switch trigger and "LOCK-ON"
button.
(Consult router owner's
manual.) Make sure the
switch
on the switch
case is in the OFF position
when doing
this.
2. To turn the router ON, pull up the red paddle to the
ON position.
See page 23.
3. To turn the router OFF, press the red paddle to the
OFF position.
See page 23.
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
NOTE: in the event of an overload,
the internal switch
circuit breaker will trip the switch to the OFF position.
This will interrupt
power to the router and any accessory
plugged
into the switch
itself. If this occurs,
proceed
as follows:
1. Push the red plastic paddle to the OFF position
and
unplug the switch cord from the wall outlet or exten-
sion cord.
2. Turn router switch to OFF position.
3. Remove the workpiece
from the router table.
4. Correct the cause of the overload situation.
For
example,
if too many accessories
are plugged
into
the switch,
or combined
amperage
exceeds the
switch rating, remove the accessory.
Other causes
include the removal of too much stock or use of too
high a feed rate.
5. Press the circuit reset button on the bottom
of the
switch box.
6. Plug the switch
power cord into the wall outlet or
extension
cord.
7. Restart the router as described
in the section
