Specifications - Ryobi ERT1400RG Owner's Operating Manual

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fi lter
out microscopic particles.

FEATURES
Your plunge router is a versatile woodworking tool that will
give you years of trouble-free performance. It is engineered
with the professional in mind, but its ease of operation allows
the amateur to produce work that is beautiful and precise. As
the name implies, your plunge router can be used for making
plunge cuts in workpieces, routing grooves, edge routing,
routing circles, and freehand routing.
When used with recommended accessories, such as a
router table, depth adjustment knob, and straight guide;
it becomes even more versatile. Various types of cutters,
both with and without roller bearings as guides, also add

to the versatility of this tool.
CHIP SHIELD
A plastic chip shield has been provided on the base of
your router for protection against fl ying dust and chips. It is
designed to fi t the front opening of the router base.
SPINDLE LOCK
The spindle lock secures the spindle so that only one
wrench is needed to loosen collet nut and change cutters.
To operate push the button whilst loosening the collet.
NOTE: Do not run router with spindle lock engaged or use
as a brake to stop the router.
VARIABLE SPEED
Your router has advanced electronic features, designed to
assist you in getting the maximum use from your router.
By making proper speed selections, your router can be
adjusted to specifi c routing needs.
The variable speed control allows the router to develop a
no load speed that can be adjusted from 14,000 to 31,500
-1
min . The variable speed control selector is conveniently
located on the front of the router.
The electronic feature of your router introduces the
1
fl exibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job
conditions. An electronic speed control module senses
the load applied to the motor, and increases or decreases
motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired
RPM. Speed can be set according to the approximate
cutter diameter you will be using and to the hardness of
the material being cut. The best cuts are made when the
cutter is fed through material at the proper rate of feed.

TEMPLATE GUIDE
See Figure 17.
The template guide can be fi tted to the base of the router
to accurately duplicate curves and other complex shapes.
These shapes can be easily made by using a jigsaw to
cut out a template. Fix the guide to the base of the router
by removing the two screws retaining the dust extraction
port, placing the guide in the recess provided in the base
and replacing the screws. The dust extraction port must be
in place when fi tting the guide to hold the screws.
The guide protrudes below the bottom of the base allowing
the router to follow the template, which must be securely
fi xed to the workpiece and a fi rm pressure applied to the
router at all times to ensure that the edge of the guide
