Using the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Compact Router is a breeze. First, make sure you have the right router bit installed. You can easily change the bit using the tool - free spindle lock and the 11/16' collet wrench. Adjust the depth of the cut using the macro adjust button for quick changes or the fine adjustment screw for more precise settings. Set the speed using the variable speed dial according to the material you're working with. For harder materials, a higher speed might be better. When using it, keep the router steady with the help of the straight edge guide. If you want to use a plunge base or an offset base, you can purchase them separately and attach them to the router. Some important things to note: Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from dust and debris. Don't overload the router. If it starts to heat up or seems to be struggling, stop and let it cool down. When not in use, store the router in a dry place. To maintain your router, clean it regularly. After each use, remove any dust and debris from the router body and the bits. Check the battery regularly. If it's not holding a charge well, it might be time to replace it. Also, lubricate the moving parts occasionally to keep them working smoothly.
