How to use

Secure the MINI PRO203 to a stable bench surface before operation and fit an appropriate cutter for the material and operation required. Set cutting depth and clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start the router and allow it to reach operating speed before approaching the workpiece; then guide the cutter steadily along the intended path, keeping hands clear of the spindle and using suitable push tools or jigs for small items. Reduce feed rate for delicate features and increase only when the cut is stable.

Usage recommendations

Use sharp, correctly sized bits for wood and plastic to achieve clean edges; wear eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when milling. For best results on small parts, use clamps, guides or a small fence and make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut.
