INSTALLING THE SWITCH BOX
(Fig. 21)
If the switch box assembly (14) does not come
preinstalled to the front table housing (6), use the
following instructions to attach the switch box.
1. Place two #10-32 x 5/8-in. truss-head
screws (38) in the holes in the front table
housing opening. NOTE: The screw heads
should face the front of the table.
2. While holding the screws in place, slide on
the switch box (14) and start the KEPS nuts
(30) on the screws. NOTE: The switch box
should be behind the housing opening, and
the washer side of the nuts should be
against the switch box.
3. Hold the KEPS nuts (30) while tightening
the two #10-32 x 5/8-in. screws (38) to
secure the switch box (14).

CONNECTING THE ROUTER
POWER CORD TO THE SWITCH
(Fig. 22)
I "_WARNINGI Before connecting router
to router table switch box,
ensure that the router switch is OFF, and
that the router table switch box is
unplugged. Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk of unintentional tool
operation.
1. Plug the router power cord into one of the
electrical outlets on the back of the switch
box (14).
2. Form the excess power cord into a coil.
3. Wrap two pieces of electrical tape or cable
ties around the coiled cord at opposite sides
of the coil.
4. Allow some slack so that the cord does not
become stretched when it is plugged into
the switch box outlets.
5. If desired at this time, plug the power cord
from an accessory, such as a wet/dry
vacuum or light, into the other outlet.
Cord Positioning
Position the switch cord and any accessory
power cords down the inside of the legs,
then out the rear base of the router table to
an electrical outlet. Secure cord(s) to leg(s)
with electrical tape or tie straps. This will
prevent cord(s) from coming in contact with
any moving parts.
Fig. 22
I ._WARNINGI Before starting to work
ensure that the power
cords from the router, accessories, the
switch case, and the extension cord do not
and cannot come in contact with the router
or any moving parts of the router. Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk
of injury due to loss of control.
