Always ensure your workpiece is securely clamped and you are wearing appropriate safety gear before operating the router.

1. Powering On and Off:

2. Adjusting Speed:

The router features 7 variable speed settings, ranging from 10,000 to 26,000 RPM. Adjust the speed regulating roller according to the material being worked on and the type of router bit used. Lower speeds are generally suitable for larger bits and harder materials, while higher speeds are for smaller bits and softer materials.

3. Routing Techniques:

• Direction of Cut: Always feed the router against the rotation of the bit to maintain control and prevent kickback.
• Multiple Passes: For deeper cuts, make several shallow passes instead of one deep pass. This reduces strain on the tool and bit, and results in a cleaner finish.
• Using Guides: Attach the guide rod and guide for straight cuts. For curved cuts, use a template and a guide bushing or a pivot pin.

• After each use, clean the router body with a soft, damp cloth.
• Remove any dust or debris from the ventilation openings to prevent overheating.
• Clean the collet and collet nut regularly to ensure proper bit seating and prevent runout.

2. Carbon Brush Replacement:

The router is designed with an external carbon brush interface, allowing for easy replacement without disassembling the entire tool. Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) or if the motor sparks excessively or loses power.
