#10-32 PAN HEAD
SCREW
BASE
WARNING:
Do not use with router tables that fail to conform to safe
wood working practices and offer proper guarding for the
cutter. Failure to comply can result in an accident causing
possible serious injury.
ROUTER TABLE USE
See Figures 16 and 17.
Your router can be used on UL listed router tables such
as the Ryobi BT3000SXI Precision Cutting System. It
may be necessary to remove the subbase to utilize the
full pattern of some edge forming bits such as Roman
Ogee and round-over bits. Remove the four (4) #10-32
pan head screws and subbase. With the subbase base
removed, the router is secured to the mounting plate
with 5/16-18 x 3/4 in., tapered flat head screws provided
in the Ryobi Router Mounting Kit model number 4950300
or available at your local hardware store.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
OPERATION
SUBBASE
Fig. 16
Use only 5/16-18 x 3/4 in. machine screws to mount the
router in an inverted position for table use. The use of
smaller screws, such as the #10-32 machine screws
provided for mounting the subbase, could provide an
insecure mounting and result in the risk of serious
personal injury.
When using a UL listed router table, large router bits
should be used for edging only. Do not use router bits that
are larger in diameter than the opening in router base for
any purpose. Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has been
found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used
for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air jet.
