Using the Makita XTR01Z router is quite straightforward. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V LXT Lithium - Ion battery. Insert the battery into the router. Adjust the speed according to your project using the variable speed control dial. For delicate work, start with a lower speed, and for tougher materials, you can increase it up to 30,000 RPM. Use the smooth rack - and - pinion fine depth adjustment system to set the cutting depth precisely. Before you start, double - check the settings. When you're ready, press the trigger. Thanks to the soft - start feature, the router will start smoothly. As you work, the dual L.E.D. lights will illuminate the work area. If you need to change the base or adjust the depth, use the quick - release cam lock system. When changing bits, use the shaft lock for easy and quick bit changes. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always wear safety goggles and appropriate clothing when using the router. Don't use the router if the battery is damaged. Keep your hands away from the spinning bit. After each use, clean the router. Wipe off any dust or debris from the body, base, and motor. If you use the optional dust nozzle, empty the connected vacuum cleaner regularly. Store the router in a dry and cool place. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery and store it separately. Also, keep the router away from children and unauthorized users.
