– Release the spindle lock button.

– If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior to assem-

bling, using a soft brush or by blowing out with com-

pressed air.

– Start the new tightening nut on tool holder 14.

– Hand-tighten the tightening nut.

f Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a

router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged.

Inserting a Router Bit (see figures C–D)

Depending on the application, router bits are available in the

most different designs and qualities.

Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS) are suitable for

the machining of soft materials, e. g. softwood and plastic.

Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly suitable for

hard and abrasive materials, e. g. hardwood and aluminium.

Original router bits from the extensive Bosch accessories pro-

gram are available at your specialist shop.

Only use clean router bits that are in perfect condition.

– Push the spindle lock button 9 and keep it pressed. If re-

quired, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks.

– Loosen the tightening nut 5 with the open-end spanner by

turning in anticlockwise direction 15.

– Insert the router bit into the collet. The shank of the router

bit must be immersed at least 20 mm into the collet.

– Retighten the tightening nut by turning in clockwise direc-

tion.

– Release the spindle lock button.

f Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a

router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged.

Mounting the Routing Base (see figure E)

For routing, the routing base 2 must be mounted on the motor

unit 1 again.

– Release clamping lever 10, if tightened.

– Bring the two double arrows on the motor unit and the

routing base 2 into alignment.

– Push the motor unit into the routing base and turn the mo-

tor unit in clockwise direction until the mark points

against the symbol.

– Push the motor unit further into the routing base.

– After mounting is completed, turn the mark on the rout-

ing base to the symbol on the motor unit.

– Lock the clamping lever.

f After mounting, always check if the motor unit is seat-

ed tightly in the routing base.

If required, change the pre-tension of the clamping lever 10

(see “Readjusting the Clamping Lever”, page 17).

Dust/Chip Extraction

f Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of

the user or bystanders.

Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-

ble for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

Operation

Adjusting the Depth-of-cut (see figure F)

f The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only be carried

out when the router is switched off.

For coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as fol-

lows:

– Place the machine with the router bit mounted on the

workpiece to be machined.

– Release clamping lever 10, if tightened.

– Turn the routing base 2 so that the mark points against

the symbol and slowly lower the motor unit until the

router bit touches the workpiece.

– Lock the clamping lever.

– Read the measuring value off the scale 8 and note it down

(zeroing). Add the desired depth-of-cut to this value.

– Open the clamping lever and adjust the motor unit to the

calculated scale value.

– Turn the routing base so that the mark points against

the symbol and lock the clamping lever again.

– Check the carried out depth-of-cut adjustment with a trial

cut and correct it, if necessary.

For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as follows:

– With the clamping lever 10 open, turn the routing base so

that the mark points against the symbol.

– Adjust the desired depth-of-cut with thumbwheel 3.

– Lock the clamping lever.

Starting Operation

f Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, set the On/Off switch 11 to I.

To switch off the machine, set the On/Off switch 11 to 0.

Working Advice

f Protect router bits against shock and impact.

Shaping or Molding Applications (see figure G)

For shaping or molding applications without the use of a par-

allel guide, the router bit must be equipped with a pilot or a

ball bearing.

– Guide the switched on power tool from the side toward the

workpiece until the pilot or the ball bearing of the router bit

faces against the workpiece edge to be machined.

– Guide the machine alongside the workpiece edge. Ensure

rectangular support. Excessive pressure can damage the

edge of the workpiece.
