Ryobi RT501W manual III. Mounting Routers with the universal clamping system

MOUNTING THE ROUTER

III.Mounting Routers with the universal clamping system

Note: All routers will require using the adapter plate (F) and locating pins (Y) when mounting the router to the router table with the universal clamping system. Refer to Hole Pattern Chart on page 14 to determine the correct hole pattern for your router.

See Figure 15

1.Remove base plate from router.

2.Place the adapter base plate (F) on the router base according to the mounting hole position chart on page 14.

3.Use screws removed from the router base plate to attach the adapter base plate to the router base. Tighten securely.

WARNING:

Make sure screws from router base plate match the countersinks in the adapter plate and are long enough to attach the base plate securely. Replace if neces- sary.

4.Routers with A and AB hole pattern use three counter- sink 5/16" - 18 X 3/4" screws (AM), to attach the adapter plate (F) to the router. For Ryobi routers RE600 and RE601 use three M 8 x 20 countersink screws

(AN).

5.To mount Craftsman routers that use the E-hole pat- tern to the adapter plate (F), three 10 - 32 x 1/2" coun- tersink screws are required (not provided).
