Setting Depth Of Cut - Ryobi P601 Manuel D'utilisation

REMOVING THE BASE
See Figure 3, page 10.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Place the router upside down on a workbench.
 Pull the quick release lever to the open position.
 Depress the motor release lever completely, pull the motor
housing up until it stops at the spindle lock button.
 While holding the motor release lever down with one
hand, depress the spindle lock button with the other. Slide
the base upward until the motor release lever clears the
spindle lock button and remove the base.
To connect the motor housing to the base:
 Depress the motor release lever completely with one
hand, depress the spindle lock button with the other.
 Align the motor housing with the base and push the mo-
tor housing onto the base until it clears the spindle lock
button.
 Release the motor release lever and close the quick re-
lease lever.
INSTALLING/REMOVING TRIMMING BITS
See Figure 4, page 10.
WARNING:
Never install a bit larger than the opening of the laminate
sub-base. The use of larger bits can result in loss of
control and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use straight bits larger than 1/4 in. or edging bits
which cut a pattern larger than 3/8 in. with this router.
Use of larger bits can result in loss of control and serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful
not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands
or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat
buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
 Turn the switch to OFF and remove the battery pack.
 Place the router upside down on a workbench.
 Pull the quick release lever to the open position.
 Depress the motor release lever and move the base to
provide clear access to the collet nut. It is not neccesary
to remove the base.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate spindle until
the spindle locks.
OPERATION
 Use the wrench provided to turn the collet nut in a
counterclockwise direction. Continue to depress the
spindle lock button while loosening the collet nut.
 With the router still upside down on a workbench, insert
the shank of the bit into the collet. The shank of the bit
should be close to but not touching the bottom of the
collet. This allows for expansion when the bit gets hot. A
clearance of 1/16 in. is adequate.
NOTE: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit
bits with 1/4 in. diameter shanks.
 Hand-tighten the collet nut. Then, depress the spindle
lock button and continue tightening the collet nut with the
wrench provided by turning it in a clockwise direction.
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not tightened securely, the bit may come
out during use, causing serious personal injury.
 Depress the motor release lever and return the base back
to an operating position.
 Push the quick release lever to the closed position.
 Replace the battery pack.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT

See Figure 5, page 11.
 Turn the switch OFF and remove the battery pack from
the router.
 Pull the quick release lever to the open position.
 Using the micro depth adjustment knob, adjust the posi-
tion of the router to obtain the desired depth of cut. To
move the motor housing down, turn the micro depth
adjustment knob toward the "down" arrow to the side of
the knob.
NOTE: To set the cutting depth to zero, hold the router
in place and turn the micro depth adjustment knob until
it reads "0".
 The cutter depth can be read on the depth scale on
the motor housing. Each mark on the scale indicates a
1/16 in. change in depth setting. Use the top edge of the
removable base as reference when setting depth of cut.
 Push the quick release lever to the closed position.
WARNING:
Avoid open area of router base. Serious personal injury
will result from contact with a rotating bit.
NOTE: To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as
many successive passes as required, lowering the bit
1/8 in. for each new pass. To save time, perform all the
cutting necessary at one depth setting, then lower the bit
for the next pass. This will assure uniform depth when the
final pass is completed.
