CENTERING THE SUB-BASE AND

TEMPLET GUIDES

Your router features the Bosch "Precision

Centering Design". its sub-base is precisely

centered at the factory. This positions the bit

at the center of the sub-base and optional

templet guides. Precision centering allows you

to closely follow jigs such as straight guides,

templets, and dovetail fixtures without

worrying about bit walk-off from the intended

cut line for any reason, including the

orientation of the router's handles.

In the event the sub-base screws are

loosened or removed, such when preparing

the router for use in a router table, here's how

to re-center the sub-base when reattaching it:

To quickly re-center the sub-base, attach the

sub-base using the set of fiathead screws

(included) and the countersunk screw holes in

the sub-base. (Flathead screws have the

tapered heads.) The flathead screws and

countersunk holes will pull the sub-base into a

position that is very close to centered.

OR -- To most precisely re-center the sub-

base, attach the sub-base using the optional

Bosch centering cone, an optional Bosch

templet guide, and the set of pan-head screws

(included). (Pan-head screws have rounded

tops.) Follow steps 1-8.

1. Position the sub-base so that its pan-head

screw holes are over the matching set of

threaded holes in the base.

2. Insert the pan-head screws, not the flathead

screws, through the sub-base and tighten

them until they are snug, but still allow the

sub-base to move.

3. Insert templet guide (optional accessory)

the installed template guide adapter as

described elsewhere in this manual.

4. Slide centering cone (optional accessory)

through templet guide and into collet. Use

narrow end of cone when inserting into 1/4"

collet, wider end of cone when inserting into

1/2" collet.

5. Tighten collet nut with fingers to put slight

grip on centering cone.

6. Lightly press centering cone into templet

guide to center guide and sub-base.

7. Tighten the pan-head screws.

8. Remove centering cone. The precision

centering of the templet guide and sub-base

is complete.

_ utter diameter must be at

least 1/4" smaller than

opening for the bit and cutter.
