I am looking for a manual for a Ryobi 12 - 5/16ths Precision Planer, model number AP-12. Do you know where I can get one?

I found the manual for the Ryobi AP-10 planer here: http://attometer.com/pdf/20100424_Ryobi%20planer%20AP-10%20manual.pdf . I could download/save the file using Adobe Reader or the Chrome PDF extension.

I hope this helps.

check the motor for a thermal over load button
to stop it over heating take more lighter cuts as the motor is a small motor compared to what the cut can be

This is the closest one I could find, hope it helps!

I can provide a pdf copy of the Owner's Operating Manual for the Ryobi Hand Planer HL-82 to anyone interested in obtaining a copy.

I do not know the model of your planer, so I can only direct you to one of my favorite sites hoping this helps.

You can right click and select open or double left click on the link. If that does not get you to the site you can select and copy the site address pasting it into your browser address bar and clicking on refresh or go. This will take you to the Ryobi planer site, and you can select your model number to find your part.

I usually cannot order just one part, since I always can find some other parts for my tools to keep them in working order.

go to tool parts direct and order one

Hello,
Here is a link to download the manual. Scroll down the page about half way and you'll see the Ryobi Manual download link. Hope this helps.

Here is the Ryobie support web site . You may still be able to get the manual for your service planer.
