Switch Box Familiarization
The purpose of this section is to
familiarize the user with the operation of
the switch box BEFORE the router is
plugged in.
DO NOT plug the
router in at this time. An
ON switch will start and an unprepared
user could possibly be seriously injured.
The switch box also features a safety
key that prevents tools plugged into the
switch box from being turned ON
inadvertently. Removal of the safety
key disables the switch box by locking
the switch in the OFF position. Strike
the switch paddle with your hand to turn
the router OFF in an emergency
situation. Please note paddle switch
positions and reset button at this time.
See Figure 16.
