Router And Switch Operation; Circuit Reset Button; When The Router Table Is Not In Use - Skil RAS900 Owner's Manual

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 box is in the OFF position when doing this.
2. To turn the router ON, pull up the red paddle to the ON position.
3. To turn the router OFF, press the red paddle to the OFF position.

Circuit reset button

NOTE: In the event of an overload, the internal switch circuit breaker will trip the switch box
assembly OFF. 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 extension 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 ROUTER AND SWITCH OPERATION on
this page.
WARNING
Unplug ALL electrical connections.
