Setup
-
Attaching the Bit
Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery is removed. Insert the desired router bit into the 1/4 inch metal chuck. Use the provided wrench to securely tighten the chuck, ensuring the bit is firmly in place.
-
Installing the Base
The Worx WU560 supports various bases for different applications. Align the chosen base (e.g., standard, offset, bevel, plunge) with the motor unit and secure it using the locking mechanism. Ensure it is tightly fastened before use.

Battery Installation
Insert a fully charged Worx 20V MAX Green 5pin battery into the battery slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the battery is compatible with the tool (refer to the battery compatibility image).
Battery compatibility: The tool is suitable for 'Big interface' Kross Pack 20V batteries, not 'Small interface' batteries.
Operating Instructions
-
Powering On and Slow Start
Press the power button to turn on the trimmer. The tool features a 'Slow Start' function, gradually increasing the motor speed to reduce initial torque and vibration, providing a smoother and more controlled start.

Speed Control
The WU560 offers 5 adjustable speed settings, allowing you to select the optimal RPM (10000-30000rpm) for different materials and tasks. Adjust the speed using the control dial on the tool. The intelligent control technology ensures stable speed even under load.

Routing and Trimming
Hold the trimmer firmly using the non-slip base handle. Guide the tool along the desired path on the workpiece. For best results, make shallow passes and gradually increase the depth. Utilize the appropriate base for your specific task, such as the offset base for tight corners or the bevel cutting base for angled edges (0-45°).

Dust Collection
For a cleaner work environment, attach a dust collection system to the designated port on the trimmer base. This helps to minimize sawdust and debris during operation.
Maintenance
-
Cleaning
Regularly clean the tool's ventilation openings and housing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners. Remove any sawdust or debris from the chuck and base area after each use.
-
Bit Care
Inspect router bits for sharpness and damage before each use. Dull or damaged bits can lead to poor performance and increased risk of kickback. Replace worn bits as necessary.
-
Battery Care
Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge batteries regularly, even when not in use, to maintain their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
-
Tool Not Starting
Check if the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position. If the tool still does not start, the battery or tool may require service.
-
Reduced Performance
A decrease in performance can be caused by a dull or damaged router bit. Replace the bit if necessary. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Overloading the tool can also reduce performance; try making shallower passes.
-
Excessive Vibration
Check that the router bit is correctly installed and securely tightened in the chuck. Ensure the base is properly attached. Excessive vibration can also indicate a damaged or unbalanced bit.
