Lee Bussy Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Greetings gents. I picked up an old 12" Ryobi planer, model AP-12. By the placard it says it was made in '93. I scored a sweet deal on it and it seems to run well and feed smoothly (after I flipped the blades over) but I don;t have a manual. Does anyone know a source of a manual for this? Specifically, I'm looking for adjustments, etc., to be done such as levelling the head to the feed surface, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Bussy Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ack, got snarky and the manual is for a 10". I will dig more. I did a bit-o-Googling first before asking. I'm surprised nothing came up. I wonder if the AP-10 was close enough to at least point me in the right direction. If you REALLY want to get snarky with someone, use lmgtfy.com It cracks me up but nobody else seems to think it's funny. Here's how it would look: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ryobi+ap-12+manual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bussy Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 What's 2 inches? Um .. seems kinda personal but ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sooooooo, incredibly useless search for AP-12. Found 10 and 13 as well as parts explosions for the 12. I would find that enough to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Bussy Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Okay, this may have been a little obvious but Ryobi actually sent me one. You'd think they would have the original but beggars can't be choosers. I've attached it here in case someone else searching Google is looking for it.

I've attached it here in case someone else searching Google is looking for it.AP12 owners manual.pdf I was going to suggest contacting them. Every power tool I've bought used, I have been able to get manuals, technical specs, wiring diagrams in pdf for free for all of them. Most of these tool are no longer made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have a older 10" Ryobi planer. The blades mount into a holder with the edge aligned with a plastic jig that came with the machine. Then the holder bolts into the machine . Your machine is newer/ different and getting parts might be difficult. Good luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUAN MANUEL RICO Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thank you for your support. If I agree with this, my question is whether the parts I found in the market are compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
