GENERALThe Power Switch is designed to be used with mostCraftsman Router Tables and Routers. It provides theconvenience of an ON-OFF switch at the front ofthe table, thus eliminating the need to reach under-neath the table to turn the router ON and OFF.I NOTE I The electronic routers (9-1750and 9-27501) are a special case which is explainedin the section ROUTER AND SWITCH BOXOPERATION.The Power Switch also provides an optional simulta-neous ON-OFF control of an additional accessory,such as a light, vacuum, etc. The switch incorporatesan internal, resettable circuit breaker to provide pro-tection in overload situations.ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTSIn the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-ing provides the path of least resistance for electriccurrent in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.This switch box is equipped with an electric cord thathas an equipment grounding connector and agrounding plug.

Have the proper outlet installed by a qualifiedelectrician.Improper connection of the equipment grounding con-ductor can result in risk of an electric shock. The con-ductor with insulation that has a green outer surface,with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of theelectric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connectthe equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.Check with a qualified electrician or service person ifthe grounding instructions are not completely under-stood, or if there is doubt as to whether the switchbox is properly grounded.Use only 14 gauge, or larger, three-wire extensioncords that have three-prong grounding plugs andthree-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.The electrical outlet on the back of the switch boxwill accept either a two-prong plug from a DOUBLEINSULATED router or accessory, or a three-pronggrounding type plug.This switch is intended for use on a circuit that hasan outlet, as illustrated in Figure A.
