wall outlet. Always plug router cord 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 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, 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 cord 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.
