Ryobi 10" surface planner

[TB Roye]

My youngest son's best friend gave me a Ryobi 10" surface planner in exchange for a Aquarium and fish for his 2 year old daughter. The planner is crap to be nice. No manual, rusty, dirty, black widow eggs. in real rough shape. Does any one have a manual or information on this thing? The Ryobe site has no info for it. I don't know if I can even get new blades or if it is worth the hassel. The aquarium is worth about $250 but I am trying to get rid it so I can get a bigger one. I will give his daughter the Aquarium just for being nice guy and helping my son recover from drug addiction. I would just like to try and see what I can do with first( old fixit mentality) . It runs and will take some wood off but I have now idea what to do or how to adjust it. Any help will be appriciated. He said he thought it was a Hatchi 12" but evidently it had been in garage or shed for quite awhile, perhaps his dad or older relative had and it was just shoved in the corner and forgotten.

It is the AP 10 sorry

Hi Tom,

If it's a Ryobi AP10, it looks like you can get Freud replacement blades on Amazon among other places:

There are also some old threads with your same questions, like this one:

Looks like you could get the manual in pdf from one of those guys.

I have no information other than this planner is more than 10 years old. It came out around the time my R-500 Ryobi router was being sold. Ryobi was the first with a portable planner and now you have an example! I would think you can get new knives but I have no idea where to get a manual.
