Maintenance - Wen RT6033 Instruction Manual

CUTTING ALONG A STRAIGHT EDGE
The template can be created with a jigsaw to guide your desired cut.
Template should be thick enough to allow for the protrusion of the
guide. When creating the template, account for the distance between
the cutting edge of the bit and the outer edge of the protruding circle.
NOTE: The template must be securely fixed to the workpiece and firm
pressure should be applied to the router throughout the cut to ensure
that the edge of the guide accurately follows the template (Fig. 24).
WARNING! To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool from the
power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
CLEANING
1. Regularly clean the router with a soft cloth or compressed air. Remember
to wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
2. Regularly clean the router bits and collet carefully to remove dust and
chips that have accumulated.
WARNING! Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
CARBON BRUSHES INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
1. Wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how heavily
the router is used. For general use, it is recommended to check the brushes
every 6 months.
2. The carbon brush caps are located on the front and back of the router.
To access the brushes, unscrew and remove the two brush caps with a flat
head screwdriver (Fig. 25).
3. Take out and inspect the carbon brushes (Fig. 26). If the brushes are worn to under 1/4" in length, replace them
with new carbon brushes and then reinstall the brush caps.
NOTE: Always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely in the brush holders. Double carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time.
