GENERAL INFORMATION
The power switch is designed for use with
most Craftsman 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 vac, etc.
The switch has an internal, resettable circuit
breaker to provide overload protection.
