Do not plug router motor
power cord into standard
wall outlet. It must be plugged into the
router table switch. Power tool switches and
controls need to be within your reach in
emergency situations.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The power switch is designed for use with
most
Router Tables. It provides the
BOSCH
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
The 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.
Do not permit fingers to
touch terminals of the
plug when inserting or removing the plug
from the outlet.
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. Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk
of injury due to loss of control.
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. The switch has a rating of 15 amps.
