SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 14 gauge (or heavier) three-wire extension
cord with a three-hole grounding receptacle
and three-hole grounding plug is to be used
for connecting the switch to an electrical
outlet. Do not use an extension cord longer
than 25 feet (8 meters).
Damaged or worn extension cords
are not to be used and are to be
replaced immediately,
The electrical cord at the back of the switch
will accept three-hole extension cords.
The electrical receptacles at the back of the
switch will accept either three-prong or two-
prong plugs from a router or accessory.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electrical current in order to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. This switch
box is equipped with an electrical cord that
has an equipment grounding connector and
a grounding plug.
The extension cord must be plugged into a
matching outlet that has been installed by
a licensed electrician and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT modify the plug from the switch if it
does not plug into the extension cord. Obtain
an extension cord with the proper outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in risk of
an electrical shock. The conductor with
insulation that has a green outer surface, with
or without yellow stripes, is the equipment
grounding conductor.
DO NOT CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR TO A LIVE
TERMINAL.
Check with a licensed electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if there is doubt as to whether
the electrical outlet or extension cord is
properly grounded.

potential hazards of electrical shock,
which can possibly result in SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY OR death, particularly
when used in a damp location, in
proximity to plumbing or out of doors.
If an electrical shock occurs, there is always
the potential of a secondary hazard, such as
your hands contacting the router bit, or falling
