Is there a on going problem with the on/off switch?

I have heard of issues with switches in general. The best cure for such a situation is to cover the area with a flexible plastic film so no dirt or dust gets into the switch assembly. An easy proactive fix, if you are concerned about developing this condition.

I have had the router two years and have not experienced any problems of any kind. I am not aware of any on/off switch problems that others have experienced. If you are considering purchasing this router I would recommend it. It is one of the better made tools I have and my upper end tools are all pro quality.

I have three of these, and my oldest one does have a intermittent problem. I use my routers a lot, so what I have done is wired up a switch controlled recpticle and leave the router switch on and control the router with the 20 amp switch. This is also my double safety when I change bits so I don' have to unplug.

I had that problem. Mine was mounted in a router table so it was upside down which probably made things worse. I ordered another router, different make though, but will have router fixed.

i've had mine for over a year and never had a problem with the on off switch.

No, I have never had that problem. I know the switch can be touchy, if it is not centered just right.

If you are worried that you will have to replace batteries all the time, I have had mine quite a while and it's still working great. It doesn't have an " on/off " switch but the numbers shouldn't be changing unless one of the timers are set. I clear all four of my timers to zero when I'm not using the device. I hope this answer helps.

If you leave it on and plugged in you will be fine. The on/off switch is a toggle switch.

Have never had that problem, and we have two of them. I would say its a malfunction. Either a problem in your wiring or a defective switch.

Hi Ya. I've have a couple of issues with the on/off switch. But, I think it's because of the water proof casing and that I'm a little impatient sometimes. It'll start up as long as I press and hold the on/off button til the little green light lites up. Then it works great!!

I have two. Press twice for on and twice for off on both. I would email the manufacturer, they stand behind their product!

Switch stays on, but when it starts up there is a slight delay so you may think the "on" button is not going to "hold", but it does.

No. There is no switch for "On-Off" function. You can pull the plug to turn it off.

I had trouble with the on/off button initially, but when I changed the battery it worked just fine. I would give that a try!

If you use the switch to turn it off are yah sure that it won't switch on by dropping it or something?

It should work as long as switch is not being kept from moving to off set point

Mine does not shut off if the on/off switch is at the top, but if I turn it so the switch is at the bottom, it does.

Hi Lawrence, I've recently been having problems with that as well. If I accidentally hit 'reverse' before switching to 'on', it sometimes gets stuck going the wrong direction. When it happens, I usually have to toggle the switch back and forth a few times before it changes to the right direction. Looks like I need to change my review on it.

No it has no switch for ON/OFF. Just plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. Have have had one for 18 years before I got this one and never had a problem until I forgot to take it in and it froze.

I purchased two and gave one as a gift. I think the problem is in the switch. I found that you have to push down rather hard as you switch it on.

I've never had is issue but sounds like it's telling you the wiring is hooked up wrong. Try verifying the wires are correctly configured and the switch is set to come on at an interval.
