OPERATION
ROUTING GROOVES
See Figure 22.
When routing across the face of boards, set router at desired
depth of cut, place the edge of router base against workpiece,
and turn on your router. Slowly feed the cutter into the
workpiece along desired line of cut.
WARNING:
If desired depth of cut is greater than can be safely cut in
one pass, make cuts in two or more passes.
When routing straight cuts across stock, clamp a straight
edge to the workpiece to use as a guide. Position the
straightedge parallel to the line of cut and offset the distance
between the cutting edge of the cutter and the edge of the
router base. Hold the router base against the straightedge
and rout the groove.
When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the cutter,
clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutting line.
Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and
spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the
groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and
rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining waste in
the center of the groove freehand.
ROUTER TABLES
WARNING:
Do not use with router tables that fail to conform to safe
woodworking practices and offer proper guarding for the
cutter. Failure to comply can result in an accident causing
possible serious injury.
The use of Ryobi routers in router tables offered by other
manufacturers has not been investigated by Ryobi for com-
pliance with applicable safety standards.
ROUTER TABLE USE
If you mount your RE601 router to a router table or the
BT3000 accessory table, use only the four 8 mm tapped
screw holes in the router base and the 8 mm (M8 x 25) phillips
flat head screws provided with your router.
NOTE: Router subbase must be removed in order to gain
access to the four 8 mm tapped holes.
WARNING:
Do not use the four 4 mm subbase screws or the respective
4 mm tapped subbase screw holes for mounting router to
a router table. These screws and screw holes will not
secure router to router table properly and could result in
an accident causing possible serious injury.
