WARNING:

Do not use with router tables that fail to conform to safe wood working practices and offer proper guarding for the cutter. Failure to comply can result in an accident causing possible serious injury.

ROUTER TABLE USE

See Figures 16 and 17.

■Your router can be used on UL listed router tables such as the Ryobi BT3000SXI Precision Cutting System. It may be necessary to remove the subbase to utilize the full pattern of some edge forming bits such as Roman Ogee and round-over bits. Remove the four (4) #10-32 pan head screws and subbase. With the subbase base removed, the router is secured to the mounting plate with 5/16-18 x 3/4 in., tapered flat head screws provided in the Ryobi Router Mounting Kit model number 4950300 or available at your local hardware store.

WARNING:

Use only 5/16-18 x 3/4 in. machine screws to mount the router in an inverted position for table use. The use of smaller screws, such as the #10-32 machine screws provided for mounting the subbase, could provide an insecure mounting and result in the risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

When using a UL listed router table, large router bits should be used for edging only. Do not use router bits that are larger in diameter than the opening in router base for any purpose. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

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.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.

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.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
