Your new router has been engineered and manufactured to Ryobi's high standard for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety. Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free performance. [. . . ] I Tighten plunge lock and release lever, locking cutter at desired depth of cut. I Turn adjustment knob and adjust stop bar until it touches the desired stop screw. If you adjust it too far and it pops off threaded rod, refer to DEPTH CONTROL KNOB ADJUSTMENTS in maintenance section for proper assembly. DEPTH CONTROL KNOB See Figure 11. Fine adjustments can be made to the depth of cut by use of the depth control knob. Another primary use of the depth control knob is setting depth of cut when router is mounted upside down on a router table. NOTE: The weight of the router plus the position it is in when mounted to a router table make it necessary to use the depth control knob. TO SET DEPTH OF CUT WITH DEPTH CONTROL KNOB I Unplug your router. WARNING: Failure to unplug your router could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. I Loosen lock knob and turn adjustment knob so that stop bar is not touching stop screws. Page 12 ADJUSTMENTS SCALE See Figure 12. Your router has a dual inch and metric scale provided on the stop bar. Each mark on the centimeter scale makes 1 mm depth of cut changes possible. The indicator point located on the housing provides a reference point for the scale. I Loosen lock knob and turn adjustment knob to change the scale and stop bar position. I Continue to turn adjustment knob until the indicator point aligns with the new desired depth of cut mark on the scale. The cutter position will now increase or decrease the exact distance the stop bar was adjusted. depth of cut is needed, loosen lock knob and turn adjustment knob further until indicator point aligns with the next 1/16 in. Repeat the steps above as needed if a deeper depth of cut is required. change in depth setting; each mark on the centimeter scale side of the stop bar equals a 1 mm change in depth setting; the depth control knob can also be used for making precise or fine adjustments to depth of cut; and depressing center of depth adjustment knob quick releases stop bar. 1 INDICATOR POINT 1 1 in cm 2 3 64 2 3 in cm 2 2 1 3 2 3 4 3 3 8 9 3 8 9 Fig. A=10, 000 B=11, 000 C=13, 000 D=16, 000 E=19, 000 F=23, 000 CUTTER DIA FROM TO 1/8''(3mm) 1/4''(6mm) 1/4''(6mm) 5/16''(8mm) 5/16''(8mm) 3/8''(10mm) 3/8''(10mm) 1/2''(12mm) 1/2''(12mm) 3/4''(20mm) 3/4''(20mm) 1''(25mm) 1''(25mm) 2''(50mm) ---CHAMFERING ONLY CONTROL SETTING SOFT WOOD HARD WOOD F E E D D C D B C B C B C B PLASTICS C C B A A A A ALUMINUM C B A A A A A VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR See Figure 13. Your router has a variable speed control selector designed to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. You can make speed selections best suited to the type of cut, the material being cut, and the size of bit being used. The variable speed control selector allows you to adjust router speed from 10, 000 to 22, 000 rpm. There is a six step scale labeled A through F on the variable speed control selector. To increase the speed and torque of your router, turn the variable speed control selector to a higher setting. [. . . ] To do so, simply remove collet nut from collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. DO NOT tighten collet nut on collet without a cutter installed. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. PROPER CARE OF CUTTERS Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum from cutters after each use. Page 21 MAINTENANCE GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. [. . . ]
