The switch box incorporates two positive features to
prevent inadvertent switching on of the router and the
unauthorized, and possibly hazardous, use by others.
Inadvertent switching on of the router is prevented by
the clear plastic switch box cover. The cover must be
raised and the switch box manually toggled to the "ON"
position to start the router. Also, the safety key can
be removed to disable the switch box by "locking" the
switch box in the "OFF" position, thus preventing
unauthorized and possible hazardous use.
The switch box can be turned "OFF" by pressing the
switch box cover with the hand.

"ON" position. On certain routers this will require the
use of the switch trigger and "Lock-On" button. (Consult
router owner's manual.) Make sure the switch box
lever is in the "OFF" position when doing this.
