GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-
plication. The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will re-
duce the risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Planing the edge of a wooden door or shelf
Planing the edge of a piece of lumber
Making rabbet cuts in wood
PLANING DEPTH
See Figure 4, page 11.
When you begin planing a rough piece of material, the planer
will only remove the high spots at first. Successive passes
will remove more and more material. By removing no more
than 1/64 in. with each pass, you will achieve the smoothest
finish, even from the roughest workpiece.
Always begin by making test cuts in scrap wood to make
sure that the planer is removing the desired amount of wood.
To set the planing depth:
Unplug the planer.
Turn the depth adjustment knob clockwise to reach the
maximum depth of cut.
NOTE: To protect the blades during storage, transporting,
etc., set the depth adjustment to 0.
STARTING/STOPPING THE PLANER
See Figure 5, page 12.
To start the planer: Push the lock-off button, and then
depress the switch trigger.
To stop the planer: Release the switch trigger.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Using the planer with a damaged cord could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
KICKSTAND
See Figure 6, page 12.
The planer has been equipped with an automatic pivoting
kickstand that will prevent the blades from contacting the
workbench when not in use. As you begin the planing operation, the kickstand will automatically retract as it passes over
the edge of the workpiece. When setting the planer down on
the workbench, the kickstand will automatically pivot down
to prevent the blade from making any contact.
WARNING:
Make sure the kickstand operates freely at all times and
that the area surrounding the kickstand is clear of debris.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
PLANING
See Figure 7, page 12.
Clamp the work securely.
Adjust the planing depth. Refer to Planing Depth earlier
in this manual.
Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear
handle with your right hand.
WARNING:
Always use two hands on the tool for any operation; this
assures that you maintain control and avoid risk of serious
personal injury. Always properly support and clamp the
work so that both hands are free to control the planer.
Never operate the tool overhead or inverted from the
proper operating position; serious personal injury may
result.
Place the front shoe on the edge of work to be planed.

Apply pressure to the front handle so that the front shoe
is completely flat on the work.
Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.
Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work,
using a slow, steady motion.
Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as you
reach the end of the planed cut. This helps keep the rear
section of the planer base in contact with the work and
prevents the front of the planer from gouging the cut.
WARNING:
Be careful to avoid hitting nails during planing operation;
this action could nick, crack, or damage blades.
NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of blades
on hand. As soon as the blades in the planer show signs of
becoming dull, replace them. The blades are reversible and
can be reversed until both sides become dull.
CHAMFERING
See Figure 8, page 12.

TO MAKE RABBET CUTS
See Figure 11, page 12.
Follow the directions in the Planing section earlier in this
manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the
work surface.
The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth
of the cut and the number of passes made along the
work surface. The maximum depth of the rabbet cut is
7/16 in. and has to be cut in 3/32 in. passes or less to reach
the desired depth. The width of the rabbet cut is adjustable
by moving the edge guide.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this
tool for extended work on these types of materials. However,
if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the planer could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 12, page 12.
After using the planer for an extended period of time or
when planing wet or green lumber, chips may build-up in the
exhaust port and require cleaning. Chip build-up restricts air
flow and causes the motor to overheat. Clean the exhaust
port and empty the dust bag regularly.
Unplug the planer.
Remove the dust bag from the exhaust port.
Clean the chip or dust build-up from the exhaust port of
the planer with a small piece of wood. Do not use your
hands or fingers.
Empty all debris from the dust bag and ensure that the
collar is free of debris.
Replace the dust bag.
MAINTENANCE
REPLACING BLADES
See Figures 13 - 15, page 13.
The planer blades are reversible. When one edge becomes
dull, the blade can be reversed so that the other side can
be used.
Always replace or reverse blades in pairs. Do not attempt
to sharpen blades. If the blades in the planer show signs of
becoming dull, chipped, or damaged in any way, replace them.
When replacing the blades, use recommended replacement
blade only, RYOBI part number 690861001.
WARNING:

replacing blades. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
Unplug the planer.
Secure the planer in an upside-down position.
Loosen the three screws securing the blade on the blade
holder using the blade wrench provided.
NOTE: Do not over-loosen the screws. If screws are too
loose, alignment of the new blade will not be accurate.
NOTE: Before removing the old blades, take notice of
the direction of cut as well as how the tapered edge of
the old blades are oriented. The tapered edge of the new
blades must be in the same orientation as the original
blades, with the tapered edge on the same side as the
screw heads and the flat edge facing the cutter block.
Push the blade (to the right) out of the blade holder using
the tip of a screwdriver.
Remove the old blade from the blade holder.
NOTE: If blade cannot be easily pushed out of blade
holder after loosening blade securing screws, use a
block of wood to break the blade loose from the blade
holder with a short sharp blow. Then push the blade with
a screwdriver to remove. If necessary, tap the block of
wood sharply with a small hammer to break the blade
loose.
Clean any sawdust or wood chips from around the blade
area.
