To remove the base: n Unplug the router. n Place the router upside down with the Ryobi label away from you. n Loosen the lock lever on the base.

If movement is possible with the lock lever tightened in either of the bases, an adjustment to the lock lever needs to be made. See Adjustments. n Hold the handles and pull the adjustment bar from the slot in the motor base. n Lift the base up from the slot until the adjustment bar tab passes out of the slot area. n After the tab has cleared the slot, release the adjustment bar and press the spindle lock down and in (until it fully locks in the collet spindle) so that it slides behind the base housing.
