UNPACKING
Your router has been shipped completely assembled and
ready for use. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage
or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact your nearest Ryobi dealer to
obtain replacement parts before attempting to operate router.
A 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) collet assembly, wrench, owner's operating
manual, and warranty registration are also included.
KNOW YOUR ROUTER
Before attempting to use your router, familiarize yourself with
all operating features and safety requirements.
See Figure 1.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your router to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your router until
the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating your router. Failure to do so could
result in dust, shavings, loose particles or foreign objects
being thrown into your eyes, causing possible serious
injury.
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of your
router for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield
is designed to fit the front opening of the router base.
See
Figure 1. If necessary to remove chip shield, squeeze the
tabs on each end and pull outward. To replace, squeeze the
tabs at each end, fit into opening, then release. FOR YOUR
PROTECTION, DO NOT USE ROUTER WITHOUT CHIP
SHIELD PROPERLY IN PLACE.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The switch of your router is equipped with a lock-on feature
which is convenient when operating for extended periods of
time. To lock on, depress the trigger, push in the lock button
located on the side of the handle, then while holding the lock
button pushed in, release the trigger. To release the lock,
depress the trigger and release it.
