Switch Box

Introduction

A conveniently located Switch Box allows the operator to:

• turn the router ON and OFF from the front of the table

• simultaneously operate other devices such as a light or a vacuum

DREMEL

O N

OFF

WOLF113-24

It also features a resettable, internal circuit breaker (NN, Figure 12) that protects your equipment against overloads.

Electrical Hookup

Proper grounding diverts potentially dangerous electricity away from the operator. The switch box is intended for use with a threeprong, grounded outlet. (See Figure 10.) The switch box’s electrical cord features an equipment-grounding connector and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into an accommodating outlet that conforms to all local electrical codes and the National Electric Code (NEC).

DO NOT modify the plug. If it does not fit correctly, a qualified

electrician must install a compatible outlet.

Avoid the risk of electrical

shock. NEVER connect the equipment grounding connector (green wire) to a “hot” electrical terminal. When repairing or replacing the electric plug or cord, DO NOT connect the grounding connector to a “hot” electrical terminal.

Figure 10

Consult a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding procedures, or if you are not sure whether the switch box is correctly grounded.

Damaged and/or worn cords must be repaired or replaced immediately.

Extension cords must be three-wire, 14 gauge or larger, with three-prong “male” plugs, and three hole “female” receptacles fabricated to accept the tool’s plug.

WOLF108-13

WARNING

The electrical outlets on the bottom of the switch box accept three-prong grounded plugs and the two-prong plugs of double insulated tools.

If a correctly grounded outlet is unavailable, use a temporary adapter to connect the switch box’s three-prong plug to a two-hole receptacle. Make use of the temporary adapter only until a qualified electrician installs a correctly grounded, three-prong outlet. The green rigid lug or grounding wire MUST connect to the ground on the outlet. (See Figure 11.)

Figure 11

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT touch prongs when inserting or removing plug from outlet. Improper grounding can produce potentially hazardous electrical discharges that can, in turn, cause serious injury or death – especially in wet conditions, such as a basement, outside, or near plumbing.

DO NOT attach a 3-way plug or

any other adapter to outlets on bottom of switch box.

Only use the switch box when it

is properly assembled to the router table AND when the router is properly attached to the router table.

Switch Box Familiarization (Figure 12) The purpose of this section is to familiarize the user with the operation of the switch box BEFORE the router is plugged in.

WARNING

WOLF113-14

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 (Y) that prevents the router’s ON/OFF switch from being turned ON inadvertently. Removal of the safety key disables the switch box by locking the switch in the OFF position. Str ike the switch paddle with your hand to turn the router OFF in an emergency situation. Please note paddle switch positions and reset button

(NN) at this time.

Figure 12

Operation of Switch Box and Router

Make sure router switch is OFF

and switch box is OFF BEFORE proceeding.

5. Lock switch to OFF position by removing key from switch box.

For Routers With “LOCK-ON”Feature

The “LOCK-ON” feature that will not permit the router to be turned ON by the switch box, but it can be turned OFF by the switch box. Operate as follows:

1. Place the switch box to ON as previously described. The router should NOT start even though the trigger lock is in the “LOCK-ON” position. Refer to your Router Owner’s Manual.

2. To start router, depress trigger and engage “LOCK-ON” button. Router should start right up.

NOTE: The router will not start if the router switch is already in the “LOCK-ON” position. In this case, unlock the trigger, depress the trigger to start the router, then re-engage the “LOCK-ON” button.

3. To turn router OFF push switch paddle down.

Circuit Breaker (See Figure 12.) If an overload occurs, the circuit breaker inside the Switch Box trips and interrupts power to the router and any accessories. If this happens:

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the workpiece from the router bit and table.

3. Find the cause of the overload and correct.

4. Push the reset button (NN) to reset it.See Figure 12.

5. Follow instructions under Operation of Switch Box and Router to reset router.

When router table is not in use always:

1. Place the switch box in OFF position and remove the safety key.

2. Place router power switch to OFF position.

3. Unplug switch box from wall outlet.

4. Remove router bit.

5. Make sure router collet assembly is below router table.

6. Remove and place safety key in a secure location. Remember where you place

the safety key.

WARNING

If a fuse blows, or a circuit

breaker trips, or the router stalls, or if the power fails for any other reason, place the switch box in the OFF position, remove the safety key, and unplug the switch box from the wall outlet.

Table Flatness Adjustment

Your router table comes equipped with two “L” brackets mounted under it to help ensure the flatness of the working surface. If the router table should ever become warped, the flatness can be adjusted by shimming under the “L” bracket. Loosen “L” bracket mounting screws and place shims or washers as necessary. Tighten “L” bracket screws securely. Check table top flatness with a straightedge or the edge of a carpenter’s square. See Figure 13.

Figure 13

Operation

Connecting a Vacuum

A hole is provided in the fence which will accept standard 2-1/4" vacuum hose connections. If the vacuum is plugged into the switch box, it will turn ON and OFF simultaneously with the router.
