GENERAL If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary adapter, as illustrated in FIGURE B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-hole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE C. The power switch box is designed to be used with most Craftsman router tables. It provides the convenience of an "ON-OFF" switch box at the front of the table, thus eliminating the need to reach underneath the table to turn the router "ON" and "OFF".
ROUTER AND SWITCH BOX OPERATIONS 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.
