Troubleshooting your Skil router when the bit binds, stalls the motor or kicks back

• Check bit installation. Make sure that the bit is properly installed in the collet.
• Check for bit damage. Examine the bit and replace it if the bit is dull or damaged.
• The bit will bind up if the cut is too deep for one pass. If you're attempting a deep cut and the bit binds up, make the cut in two or more passes instead of just one pass.
• Check the speed. Adjust the speed if it's too slow for the cut that you're attempting.
• Adjust feed rate. Feed the work piece too fast can cause binding. Slow down the feed rate if necessary.
