Using the DeWalt DCW600B is a piece of cake. First, make sure you've got the right bit for the job. Attach it using the wrench that comes with the router. You can easily adjust the bit height with the depth adjustment ring. The variable speed dial allows you to match the router's speed to what you're working on. When you're ready to start, just turn it on, and the soft - start feature will give you a smooth start. The dual LED lights will help you see what you're doing. After you finish, press the power button to turn it off, and the electronic brake will stop the motor quickly. As for maintenance, keep the router clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. Store it in a dry place. If you have any problems, refer to the instruction manual that comes with the router.
