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 toggle switch
is toggled to the ON (RESET) 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, lift the switch cover and
toggle the switch to the ON position. See A on
page 29.
3. To turn the router OFF, lift the switch cover and
toggle the switch to the OFF position. See B on
page 29.
In an emergency, the switch can also be turned
OFF by slapping or striking the switch cover.
/^/LALWARNING j NEVER LEAVE THE ROUTER
UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR
BEFORE IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
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. Unplug the switch cord from the extension cord.
2. Remove the workpiece from the router table.
3. Correct the cause of the overload situation
(i.e. the removal of too much stock or use
of too high a feed rate).
4. Plug the switch power cord into the
extension cord.
5. Restart the router as described in the section
ROUTER AND SWITCH OPERATION.
SPECIAL NOTE TO OWNERS OF ROUTER
MODELS 1750 AND 27501:
Because these reuters and some similar routers
come with a special "LOCK ON" feature, they can
not be turned on with the switch mounted on the
router table, but can be turned off by the switch.
To operate routers with this feature:
1. Position the toggle switch to the ON (RESET)
position as described in ROUTER AND SWITCH
OPERATION. The router should NOT start, even
though the trigger lock on the router is in the
"LOCK-ON" position. (Consult your router
owner's manual.)
2. To start the router, depress the trigger and engage
the "LOCK ON" button on the side of the handle.
THE ROUTER SHOULD START IMMEDIATELY.
If it does not:
a. If the router switch is already in the "LOCK ON"
position (the "soft" and "1/4 inch" indicator lights
should be flashing-consult your owner's
manual), unlock the trigger.
b. Then depress the trigger. THE ROUTER
SHOULD START IMMEDIATELY.
c. Engage the "LOCK ON" button on the side of
the handle.
3. To turn the router off, lift the switch cover and
toggle the switch to the OFF position, or press
the switch cover.
4. To restart the router, repeat steps 1 and 2.
WHEN THE ROUTER TABLE iS NOT IN USE
1. Toggle the switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the safety key.
3, Store the safety key in a safe location
where it is not available to children and
other unauthorized persons.
4. Unplug the switch power cord from the
extension cord.
5. Remove the router bit from the router.
6. Position the router collet assembly below the top
of the router table.
NOTE: If the key should become lost or
damaged, replacement keys are available
from your local Sears retail outlet.
