ROUTER TABLE OPERATION

Switch control box

WARNING
controls need to be within your reach in emergency situations.

General information

The power switch is designed for use with most SKIL 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 a wet/dry vacuum. The switch has an internal, resettable circuit
breaker to provide overload protection.

Electrical requirements

T
he switch box cord should only be plugged into a 14-gauge (or heavier), three-wire extension
cord with a three-hole grounding receptacle and three-prong 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.
DAMAGED OR WORN EXTENSION CORDS ARE NOT TO BE USED AND ARE TO BE
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
The electrical outlet 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.
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.
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.
