Using your BORA 3.25hp Soft Start Router Motor is easy. First, make sure you've attached the right collet (either 1/2' or 1/4') using the included offset wrenches. Set your desired speed using the variable speed dial. The soft start feature will gradually power up the motor, giving you better control. When you start routing, guide the motor steadily over the wood for smooth results. As for safety, always wear protective gear like goggles and a dust mask since the motor can produce wood dust. Avoid touching the motor when it's running. For maintenance, keep the motor clean. After each use, wipe off any sawdust. Check the collets regularly for tightness. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, stop using the motor and have it checked. With proper use and care, this motor will serve you well in your woodworking projects.
