WARNING:
WEAR YOUR
SAFETY GLASSES
FORESIGHT IS BETTER
THAN NO SIGHT
The operation of any router can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your power tool. Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and understand this operator’s manual, the Operator’s Manual for the R161 router and all labels affixed to the tool. Learn the applications and limitations as well as the potential hazards.
WARNING:
Do not connect your router or router table to a power source until you have assembled and adjusted the router table as described in this manual and have read and understood all precautions and operating instructions in the manual and printed on the tool.
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Use common sense. Some of these basic safety precautions include the following:
Always keep all guards in place and in good working order.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Get in the habit of checking to see that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite accidents.
Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lighted.
Keep children away from power tools. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
Make the workshop child-proof with padlocks and master switches or by removing starter keys.
Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that could get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective covering over long hair.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
Secure the work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate the tool.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain the tool with care. Keep cutters sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Disconnect power tools before servicing or before changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool.
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended accessories. Consult this operator’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutter is unintentionally contacted.
Periodically check for worn or damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, loose mounting brackets, and any other conditions that may affect operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Before the tool is used again, make sure that the repaired or replaced part is operating properly and performing its intended function.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Do not abuse cord. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Keep cutters clean and sharp. Sharp cutters minimize stalling. Dirty and dull cutters may cause misalignment of the material and possible operator injury.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away from the cutter. Do not reach underneath table or in the cutting path with your hands or fingers at any time while tool is connected to power source.
Firmly clamp or bolt your router table to a workbench so the router table surface is at approximately hip height.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Keep tool 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 solvents to clean tool.
Stay alert. Never operate a power tool when tired or while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Always turn switch off before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting.
All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made at a Ryobi Authorized Service Center. Use only Ryobi identical replacement parts.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SYMBOLS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
SYMBOL MEANING
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger, warning, or caution. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.
DANGER: Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
CAUTION: Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.
EXTENSION CORD
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 Lab (UL) should be used.
Length of Extension Cord |
Wire Size (A.W.G.) |
Up to 50 feet |
14 |
When working with a tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions related to avoiding electrical shock.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you are separated from the tool’s electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
SAFETY AND INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
This operator’s manual describes safety and international symbols and pictographs that may appear on this product. Read the operator’s manual for complete safety, assembly, operating and maintenance, and repair information.
MEANING
Do not expose to rain or use in wet locations
