MAINTENANCE AND CARE

GENERAL INSPECTION

Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and secure.
Always have any damaged or worn parts repaired or replaced.
Always have your router repaired by qualified service personnel. Do not
attempt to repair the router unless you are qualified to do so.
CLEANING
Keep your router clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to
wear quickly and shorten the machine's service life.
Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient,
a mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come
into contact with the machine.
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow dust away from the routers
moving parts.
Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing unobstructed at all times. Blow
out any dust and dirt at regular intervals with compressed air if available.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn. Excessively
worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure or visible sparking.
To replace the brushes, remove the two brush access covers. Remove the
worn brushes and ensure the sockets are clean. Carefully replace with new
brushes and then replace the brush access covers.
After fitting, run the router without load for 2-3 minutes to help the brushes bed
in. The process of the brushes fully bedding in may take repeated uses. Motor
sparking may continue until new carbon brushes have bedded in
Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre.
LUBRICATION
The bearings of this router are sealed for life and require no maintenance.
STORAGE
Make sure that the router has been thoroughly cleaned before storing it in a
clean, dry place out of the reach of children.
