    DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

    CHIP SHIELD A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of the router for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield is designed to fit the opening of the router base.

  • Page 10: Operation

    See Figure 2. To remove the base:  Unplug the router.  Place the router upside down with the Ryobi label away from you.  Loosen the lock lever on the base. NOTE: It should not be possible to move the router motor with the lock lever tightened and the motor cor- rectly installed in either base.
  • Page 11 You will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided. WARNING: Bit continues to rotate after the router has been turned off. To avoid injury, wait until the bit has come to a complete stop before removing router from the workpiece.
  • Page 12 SELECTING DEPTH OF CUT Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the horsepower of the router motor, the type of bit, and the type of wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed for making shallow cuts; a router with higher horsepower is designed for deeper cuts.
  • Page 13 TURNING THE ROUTER ON AND OFF See Figure 7. To turn the router on, push the switch to the ( I ), or ON position. Return the switch to the ( O ), or OFF position when routing operation is finished.

  • Page 14: Edge Routing

    See Figure 8.  Tilt router and place on workpiece without the bit contact- ing the workpiece.  Turn the router on and let the motor build up to full speed.  Gradually feed bit into the workpiece until the subbase is level with the workpiece.

  • Page 15: Freehand Routing

    WARNING: Do not use large router bits for freehand routing. Use of large router bits when freehand routing could cause loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that could result in personal injury. If using a router table, large bits should be used for edging only.
  • Page 16 Feed the router into the workpiece from left to right. When fed from left to right, the rotation of the bit pulls the router against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation of the spinning bit will tend to throw the router away from the workpiece causing kickback.
  • Page 17 If you force the router to move forward too fast, the RPM of the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward movement.

  • Page 18: Adjustments

    DEPTH OF CUT See Figures 16 - 17. Depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed that, in turn, affects the quality of the cut and the possibility of damage to the tool’s motor and bit. A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one.
