Using the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Compact Router is easy. First, make sure the router is turned off and unplugged from the battery. Attach the desired router bit using the 11/16' collet wrench and the tool - free spindle lock. You can then adjust the depth of the cut using the micro - adjust dial for fine - tuning and the macro - adjust button for quick changes. The variable speed dial lets you choose the right speed for your material and task, whether you're working on soft wood or a harder surface. When using the router, hold it firmly with both hands and move it steadily across the material. Always wear safety goggles and ear protection. After use, turn off the router and remove the battery. Clean the router regularly with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Store the router in a dry place, and if you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery to prevent over - discharge. Check the bits regularly for wear and tear, and replace them when needed. Also, if you're using the optional plunge base or offset base, follow the installation instructions carefully.
