As mentioned previously, this kit gives you the capability of mounting a router on the accessory table of your
BT3000. A router mounted on the accessory table will
provide expanded capabilities for making rabbets,
grooves, chamfers, dovetails, and mortise and tenon
joints.
The additional versatility gained from use of this kit will
turn your BT3000 table saw into a remarkable woodshaping center.
WARNING:
Attempting to assemble the Router Mounting kit or
to use in any way without obtaining any missing
parts and installing them correctly, could result in
an accident resulting in possible serious injury.
TOOLS NEEDED
Tools needed for assembly of this kit are a phillips
screwdriver, two slotted screwdrivers, and an
adjustable wrench.
Note: The adjustable wrench will be used to tighten the
threaded post into one of the special 5/16 in. T-nuts
provided.
WARNING:
Unplug the power supply cord of your BT3000 from
the electrical outlet before you begin mounting this
kit. It should remain disconnected until the mounting
operation is complete, all attachments are installed
properly, and they have been checked to make sure
they are secure. Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible serious
personal injury.
Note:
This router kit has been specifically designed for use
with Ryobi Routers Only. The hole pattern on the
mounting plate has not been drilled to accommodate
other routers on the market.
