FAQs
What is the maximum collet capacity?
The router comes with an 8mm collet and can also accept a 6mm collet. It is designed to work with these two common sizes.
Can I use this router for metalwork?
Yes, the variable speed control and consistent power delivery allow it to be used for routing in aluminum and plastics.
How do I change the router bits?
Use the spindle lock to hold the spindle and the provided spanner to loosen and tighten the collet nut. Ensure the router is unplugged before changing bits.
What is the advantage of the plunge base?
The plunge base allows for controlled plunging of the router bit into the workpiece, which is ideal for creating mortises, dados, and stopped cuts.
How can I adjust the cutting depth precisely?
The plunge base features a fine-tune rod for precise depth adjustments. The fixed base also allows for depth adjustment via its locking mechanism.
Does it come with a case?

What is the power output of the motor?
The router has an input power of 900W and an output power of 620W.
Troubleshooting
Router will not start
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working AC outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'off' position before plugging in.
Inconsistent cutting speed
Verify that the electronic speed control is set correctly. Ensure the collet is fully tightened around the bit and that the bit is not damaged or unbalanced.
Excessive vibration
Check that the router bit is securely seated and tightened in the collet. Ensure the collet itself is clean and free of debris. A dull or damaged router bit can also cause vibration.
Dust extraction is ineffective
Ensure the dust extraction adapter is properly attached and sealed. Check your connected vacuum or dust collection system for blockages or insufficient suction.
