How to use

Install the appropriate collet and bit for the intended cut, secure the bit in the collet, and set the required depth using the plunge base. Adjust the speed to suit the cutter diameter and wood type, then make controlled passes, allowing the tool to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. For edge profiling, guide the router steadily along a fence or template to maintain consistent results.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection). Always secure workpieces and perform trial cuts on scrap material to verify speed and depth settings before final machining.
