User manual RYOBI AP1300

[. . . ] (330 mm) Portable Planer Model AP1300 1-3/4 1-1/2 1-1/4 1/4 0 THANK YOU FOR BUYING A RYOBI PORTABLE PLANER. Your new planer has been engineered and manufactured to Ryobi's high standards for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety. Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free performance. CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire operator's manual before using your new planer. [. . . ] If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or support surface before beginning planing operation. I Mark holes on board where planer is to be mounted using holes in planer base as a template for hole pattern. If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in planer base and material the planer is being mounted to. If machine bolts are used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in planer base, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts. CLAMPING PLANER TO WORKBENCH See Figure 5. If the planer is to be used as a portable tool, it is recommended you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while planer is in use. Shipped in a folded, "upright" position, the table extensions must be in the "down" position before planing can begin. For accurate planing, table extensions must be level with the planer table. Note: For optimum performance, always check to make sure the table extensions are level before beginning planing operations. SCREWS TABLE EXTENSION STOP SCREWS 1-3/4 1-1/2 1-1/4 1/4 0 LOCK NUT To Level: I Unplug your planer. WARNING: Failure to unplug your planer could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. I Place a straight edge or level across both the planer table and table extensions. I If adjustment is necessary, lift table extensions and loosen lock nuts. Adjust stop screws (one on each side) until extension table is level with planer table. I Press down on the table extension to ensure the table extension is properly seated. Note: Four screws attach table extensions to support bars; loosening these screws may aid in leveling table extensions.

Raising and lowering the depth adjustment handle controls the depth of cut on your planer. Note: Never adjust blade height with cutter lock in the "locked" position (pushed to the far right). UNLOCK To Raise: I Push cutter lock to the left to unlock cutter head assembly. I Once cutter head is in desired position, lock cutter head assembly in place by pushing cutter lock handle to the right. 1-3/4 1-1/2 1-1/4 1/4 0 To Lower: I Push cutter lock to the left to unlock cutter head assembly. I Turn the depth adjustment handle counterclockwise to desired height. I Once cutter head assembly is in the desired position, lock cutter head in place by pushing cutter lock handle to the right. Note: Each complete rotation of the handle moves the cutter head assembly 5/64 in. Located on the right front of the planer, the thickness scale shows the depth of the finished workpiece. Inaccurate cuts can be prevented by routinely checking the alignment of the thickness scale. [. . . ] Your planer has externally accessible brush assemblies that should be checked every 10 to 15 operating hours for wear. To inspect or replace these brushes, unscrew the brush cap located at the right front and left rear of the planer. Be sure to replace the brush cap securely after inspection or repairs. BRUSH BRUSH CAP 1-3/4 1-1/2 1-1/4 CLEANING Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the tool to plane inaccurately. Periodic cleaning and waxing is needed for accurate, precision planing. [. . . ]
