How to use

Secure the workpiece on a stable surface before starting. Select an appropriate cutter and set the desired depth using the depth adjustment mechanism, then start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the material. Guide the tool steadily along the cut line, maintaining consistent feed speed to avoid tear-out. After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the cutter to stop completely before setting the router down or making adjustments.

Recommendations

Use sharp, suitable router bits rated for the intended material and avoid forcing the tool through cuts; make multiple shallow passes for deep cuts up to 50 mm. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when working with wood. Ensure clamps and guides are used for repeatable results and consider a guide fence or template for precision edge profiling.
