UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS

4

CAUTION:

Separate all parts from packaging materials and check
each item against the package contents listed in this
manual, found on pages 6-8.

If any parts are damaged or missing, please call 
(800) 525-2579 for assistance.

Your 

RYOBI

®

router table is shipped complete in one 

carton. Make sure all items are accounted for before 
discarding any of the packing materials.

CAUTION:

Means that failure to follow this safety statement may
result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property
or equipment damage.

Store properly

Do not store router table outdoors or in a damp location.

Keep work area clean

ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and
well lit.  DO NOT work on or place router table legs on
floor surfaces that are slippery from sawdust, oil, water,
or wax.

Do not force the tool

Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed. It will do the job better and more
safely at the rate for which it was designed. 

Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical

Using clamps or a vise to hold work is safer than using
your hand. It also frees both hands to operate the tool.

Do not overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Maintain tools with care 

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest 
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.

Use recommended accessories

Consult this manual for recommended accessories.
Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.

Ensure safety of others

Keep visitors and children a safe distance away from
the work area, especially when operating a power tool.
Visitors should wear the same safety equipment as the
operator.
