Head down to your library and see if they have either of these books. If not, Overstock.com has them pretty cheap.

Please respect your router, that's a pretty beefy one, and if you feed it in the wrong direction free hand, it could quickly become hard to control. If it is anything like its older brother, you've got yourself a great machine.

Protect yourself when using it, hearing protection is a must with a router, and eye and dust protection aren't bad ideas.

Mainly, read up on the operation and safety topics in some books, and then play with it! You'll quickly find a whole bunch of possibilities for the machine.

Of course, the dirty little secret about a router is this: The purchase price is nothing compared to what you're going to want to spend on the router bits! Buy good ones, you'll work better and safer (and cheaper) in the long run.
