How to use

Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate router bit for the task. Fit the bit according to the manufacturer's instructions and set the desired cutting depth. Hold the palm router with a steady grip and move it along the workpiece at a controlled pace to achieve a clean cut. Always wait for the motor to reach full speed before contacting the material and allow the bit to stop completely before setting the tool down.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment—safety glasses, hearing protection and dust extraction—when operating the router. For best results, clamp thin or small workpieces and make multiple shallow passes rather than trying to remove too much material at once.
