Ryobi RT501W Mounting the Router, Mounting Routers with Round Adapter Base Plate, Am/An, AM or AN

WARNING:

Always unplug router and remove router bits before mounting to router table. Remove the fence, the insert, the featherboards and the miter guide from the tabletop before mounting the router.

There are three methods for attaching routers to router table. The table will accept routers with bases up to 7" in diameter. See chart below to see whether your router will mount directly to the table or will require the use of the adapter plate provided. It is also possible to attach the router to router table with the universal clamping system.

NOTE: If your router is not one of those listed in the chart, place the adapter base plate on top of the router base plate and rotate until the holes in the two plates are aligned. When hole patterns line up, the mounting scheme has been identified.

NOTE: If your router does not fit adapter base plate or if you wish to mount router directly to the table for greater cutting depth, remove the base plate from your router and attach the router with the universal clamping system.

WARNING:

Do not remove the metal reinforcement plate mounted to under side of the table top. The reinforcement plate is necessary for the proper function of this router table.
