A good user manual
The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Ryobi RE1802M1, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.
What is an instruction?
The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Ryobi RE1802M1 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.
Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Ryobi RE1802M1. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.
What should a perfect user manual contain?
First and foremost, an user manual of Ryobi RE1802M1 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Ryobi RE1802M1
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Ryobi RE1802M1 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Ryobi RE1802M1 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards
Why don't we read the manuals?
Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Ryobi RE1802M1 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Ryobi RE1802M1, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Ryobi service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Ryobi RE1802M1.
Why one should read the manuals?
It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Ryobi RE1802M1 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.
After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

14 OPERA TION ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the peak horsepower of the router motor, the type of cutter, and the type of wood.

16 FEEDING THE ROUTER The “secret” of professional routing and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the cut and in selecting the proper rate of feed. DIRECTION (EXTERNAL) See Figures 14 and 15. When routing, the cutter rotates clockwise. Therefore, you should feed the router into the workpiece from left to right. When you feed the r[...]

17 OPERA TION RATE OF FEED The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the wood, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, a faster rate of feed can be used. When making deep cuts in hardwoods such as oak, a slower rate of feed should [...]

18 OPERA TION DETERMINING DEPTH OF CUT See Figure 19 . As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed that, in turn, affects the quality of the cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to your router motor and bit). A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one, and a too deep cut will cause you t[...]

19 OPERA TION When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutlines. Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining[...]

20 OPERA TION EDGING WITH PILOTS See Figure 22. You can cut rabbets and molded edges using piloted cutters. The pilot, which extends below the cutter, allows the cutter to turn while the pilot follows the edge of the workpiece. Some pilots are solid extensions of the cutter. Others are ball bearing guides that are fastened to the end of the cutter.[...]
