What to do if my Performax Wood Router does not work?

If your Performax Wood Router isn't working, there are a few potential causes: * First, ensure that the detachable cord is properly plugged into the power source. * Next, check that the switch is in the “ON” position. If it's in the “OFF” position, pull the switch to “ON”. * Finally, the carbon brushes may be completely worn out. If this is the case, remove the brush caps and replace the old brushes with new ones.
