Depth Of Cut Adjustments - Ryobi R160 Owner's Operating Manual

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS

See Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7.
We recommend that cuts be made at a depth not exceeding
1/8 in. and that several passes be made to reach depths of
cut greater than 1/8 in.
1. UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
2. Place your router on a flat surface, unlock clamping
lever, and turn depth adjusting ring until cutter is inside
subbase. See Figures 4 and 5.
3. Turn the depth adjusting ring until tip of cutter touches
flat surface (zero depth of cut). See Figure 6. Next turn
depth indicator ring until the zero lines up with the
indicator point on front of motor housing. See Figure 5.
4. Position your router so that the cutter can extend below
the subbase for desired depth setting.
5. Turn the depth adjusting ring to obtain the desired
depth of cut. The distance the cutter moves can be
read on the depth adjusting ring. Each mark on the
depth adjusting ring indicates 1/64 inch change in depth
setting. One indicator point is located on front of the
motor housing, the other one is located on the base.
6. Lock clamping lever, securing depth adjusting ring to
motor housing and base.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS WHEN
ROUTER IS MOUNTED TO A ROUTER TABLE
See Figure 7.
The depth of cut is readable from both sides of the depth
adjusting ring. There is a depth indicator ring and indicator
point on both sides of the depth adjusting ring. The bottom
ring is convenient when using your router mounted to a
router table. The indicator point on the base should also be
used when using your router mounted to a router table.
The depth indicator rings are identical parts. Therefore,
when you have your router mounted upside down on a
router table, you set depth of cut by reading the scale
different. Set the cutter at zero depth of cut, rotate depth
indicator ring to desired depth of cut on the scale, then turn
depth adjusting ring back to zero depth of cut and lock
clamping lever securely.
