• Edge profiling and chamfering on furniture parts and panels
• On-site carpentry and workshop tasks where portability is important
• Finishing work, template routing and small joinery operations

Key specifications

• Power system: 18V cordless battery platform
• Motor type: brushless motor for improved efficiency and durability
• Intended materials: wood and composite materials
• Primary applications: routing, trimming, edge profiling and finishing
• Design characteristics: compact, ergonomic body for better control

How to use

Install a compatible 18V battery and ensure it is charged before use. Fit an appropriate router bit securely and set the cutting depth according to the workpiece and desired profile. Hold the router with both hands, maintain steady feed rate and move along the workpiece in the correct direction relative to bit rotation to achieve a clean cut. Make incremental depth passes for deep cuts, and verify bit condition and workpiece support throughout the operation.

Usage recommendations

Use sharp, appropriate-rated router bits for the material being worked; perform test passes on scrap to confirm settings. Wear suitable eye and hearing protection, and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. For extended tasks, use genuine compatible batteries and follow manufacturer guidance for charging and storage to prolong battery life and maintain consistent performance.
