PERFORMING A ROUTING OPERATION
See Figure 16.
Follow these directions to perform a routing operation.
Read the entire Operator's Manual .
Adjust the cutter guard so that it will not come in
contact with the workpiece or cutter during a cutting

operation.

Adjust the infeed fence to support the uncut workpiece
and adjust the outfeed fence to support the workpiece
after the cut.
NOTE: The workpiece must always be tight against
the fence, unless you are using a ball-bearing piloted
cutter. Additionally, it may be necessary to remove
the center fence plate (with Ryobi logo) if using large
cutters.
Reconfirm that all router adjustments are securely
locked before connecting the router table to a power
source.
Feed the workpiece from right to left with the cutter
located in the fence opening.
WARNING:
The direction of feed for the workpiece is always
against the sharp edges of the cutter and therefore
into the rotation of the cutter. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
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.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
leum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the

WARNING:
When operating the router with the router table, the
router must only be plugged into and controlled by
the router table switched outlet. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never connect the table
mounted router into another power source.

MAINTENANCE

fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we
do not recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on these types of materials. If, however, you do
work with any of these materials, it is extremely important
that you clean the tool frequently by blowing it with an air
jet.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
