Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your tool works.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Q Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related

to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

Q Keep guards in place and in good working order.

Q Remove wrenches and adjusting keys. Form the habit of ensuring that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are removed before turning on the tool.

Q Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite accidents.

Q Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

Q Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

Q Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches or by removing starter keys.

Q Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Q Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

Q Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Q Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Constantly stay aware of cord location.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Q Do not abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp

edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Q Polarized plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Q Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Q Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

Q Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if

the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Q Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection

during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Q Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

Q Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Q Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

Q Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Q Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in off position when plugging in tool.

Q Disconnect tools before servicing, when not in use, or when changing attachments.

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.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

SWITCH

The router table has a conveniently located toggle switch. In addition, the router table is equipped with a switch key. You must insert the key to turn the switch on.

If you remove the key during operation, you can turn the switch off, but you may not turn it on again until you replace the key.

FENCE ASSEMBLY

The fence assembly provides an adjustable surface to support and guide the work.

STARTING PIN

When you are unable to use the fence for a guide because the workpiece is odd-shaped or too small, use the starting pin for a guide. Only use piloted cutters when using the starting pin.

FEATURES

CUTTER GUARD/VACUUM ATTACHMENT

The cutter guard provides a barrier to protect the operator from contact with the cutter and is adjustable for all types of cuts and materials. The cutter guard also doubles as a vacuum attachment. You can insert a standard shop vacuum into the top of the clear plastic ring to keep dust down to a minimum.

MITER GAUGE

A miter gauge is used for mitered routing and to help support wider pieces.

GUARDS

The undertable guard and rear safety guard ensure that your hand, loose clothing, and other objects do not come in contact with the cutter or collet during operation.

WARNING:

The undertable guard and rear safety guard must be securely in place before using the router table. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

THROAT PLATES

Five throat plates are included with the router table. The throat plate provides a stable surface around the cutter and prevents objects from falling through the throat and damaging the spindle.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your router or router table to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

MAINTENANCE

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, petroleum-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 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.
