How to use

Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate cutter for the intended operation. Adjust the depth stop to the required cutting depth, clamp the setting if available, and ensure the cutter is properly tightened. Start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece; move the router steadily along the cut line with controlled pressure. For grooving or profiling, make multiple shallow passes rather than removing large amounts of material at once to preserve cutter life and achieve a cleaner finish. Always disconnect power before changing bits or making adjustments.

Recommendations

Use sharp, compatible router bits and reduce feed rate on hardwoods to maintain control. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, and follow local safety regulations when operating power tools.
