Hi Everyone,
I've had a 9A (model no. 315.245000) mastercraft router and bench since the early 90's. I've used it outside the bench before on some jigs I set up but now I'd like to use it in the bench. I'm having an incredibly difficult time making this happen.
I've tried plugging the router into the switch, and the switch into an extension cord that then
goes into the wall. When I remove the key and turn on the switch,the light turns on but the router doesn't, unless I hit the trigger. Of course, I don't want to be doing that since I need my hands to guide the wood along the fence.
At first, I thought it was a faulty switch, so I bought a new router switch on Amazon.
The same thing, is happening.
On this model, do I need to use a setting somewhere that I'm not aware of on the router itself, before placing in the bench?
I vaguely remember that might be the case, but I'm not sure where that would be or how to do it. Can anyone help me out please?
