Separating the Routing Motor from the Plunge Unit/Non- plunge Base (see figure C) – Open the clamping lever for the plunge base/non-plunge base 22. – Pull the routing motor to the stop and and hold it in this po- sition. – Press securing latch 21 and pull the routing motor com- pletely out of the plunge base/non-plunge base. When us- ing the non-plunge base 3, additionally press clamping le- ver 25. Inserting a Router Bit (see figure D) f It is recommended to wear protective gloves when in- serting or replacing router bits. 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. Use router bits with a shank diameter of 12 mm as far as this is possible. Only use clean router bits that are in perfect con- dition. The router bit can be changed when the routing motor is mounted in the plunge base/non-plunge base. However, it is recommended to change the tool with the routing motor dis- mounted. – Remove the routing motor from the plunge base/non- plunge base. – Press and hold the spindle lock button 27 (n). If required, turn the spindle by hand until the lock engages. Actuate the spindle lock button 27 only when at a standstill. – Loosen the tightening nut 17 with the open-end spanner 28 (size 24 mm) by turning in antclockwise direction (o). – Insert the router bit into the collet. The shank of the router bit must be immersed at least 20 mm into the collet. – Tighten the tightening nut 17 with the open-end spanner 28 (size 24 mm) by turning in clockwise direction. Release the spindle lock button 27. f Do not insert a router bit with a diameter larger than 50 mm when the guide bushing is not mounted. Such router bits do not fit through the base plate. f Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged. 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. f Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can easily ignite. Mounting the Extraction Adapter to the Plunge Base (see figure E) The extraction adapter 30 can be mounted with the hose con- nection facing toward the front or rear. When the guide-bush- ing adapter 50 is inserted, it may be required to mount the guide-bushing adapter turned by 180 °, so that the extraction adapter 30 does not touch the release lever 52. Fasten the extraction adapter 30 with the 2 knurled screws 29 to the base plate 13. To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 30 must be cleaned regularly. Mounting the Extraction Adapter to the Non-plunge Base (see figure F) The extraction adapter 32 can be mounted with the hose con- nection facing toward the front or rear. When the guide-bush- ing adapter 50 is inserted, fasten the extraction adapter 32 with the 2 knurled screws 29 to the base plate 13. For appli- cations without the guide-bushing adapter 50, firstly mount the intermediate ring 33 to the extraction adapter 32, as shown in the figure. Connecting the Dust Extraction Insert an extraction hose (Ø 35 mm) 31 (accessory) into the mounted extraction adapter. Connect the extraction hose 31 to a vacuum cleaner (accessory). The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote starting con- trol. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically when the ma- chine is switched on. The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked. When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner. Operation 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.

The neces- sary speed depends on the material and the operating condi- tions, and can be determined by practical testing. After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma- chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max- imum speed with no load. Switching On and Off Adjust the depth-of-cut before switching on or off; see Sec- tion “Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”. To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 20 and keep it pressed. To lock the pressed On/Off switch 20, press the lock-on but- ton 19. To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 20 or when it is locked with the lock-on button 19, briefly press the On/Off switch 20 and then release it. When not using the power tool, switch it off in order to save energy. Constant Electronic Control Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no- load and under load, and ensures uniform working perform- ance. Soft Starting The electronic soft starting feature limits the torque upon switching on and increases the working life of the motor. Adjusting the Depth-of-cut f The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only be carried out when the router is switched off. Adjusting the Depth-of-cut on the Plunge Base (see figure G) 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. – Set the scale for fine adjustment 6 to “0”. – Set the turret stop 12 to the lowest setting; the turret stop can be felt to engage. – Loosen the knurled screw at depth stop 16, so that the depth stop 11 moves freely. – Press the release lever for plunge action 7 down and slowly guide the router down until the router bit 18 touches the workpiece surface. Let go of release lever 7 again to lock this plunging depth. – Push the depth stop 11 down until it faces against the tur- ret stop 12. Set the slide with the index mark 10 to the “0” position on the scale for depth-of-cut adjustment 9. – Set the depth stop 11 to the desired routing depth and tighten the knurled screw 16 for the depth stop. Take care not to misadjust the slide with the index mark 10. – Press the release lever for plunge action 7 and guide the router to the uppermost position. The set routing depth is only reached when depth stop 11 touches the turret stop 12 while plunging. For deep cuts, it is recommended to carry out several cuts, each with little material removal. By using the turret stop 12, the cutting process can be divided into several steps. For this, adjust the desired depth-of-cut to the lowest step of the turret stop and select the higher steps first for the initial cuts. The clearance of the steps is approx. 3.2 mm. After a trial cut, the depth-of-cut can be set exactly to the de- sired measure by turning the adjustment knob 5; turn in clockwise direction to increase the cutting depth and in anti- clockwise direction to decrease the cutting depth. The scale 6 can be used for guidance. One full turn corresponds with a setting range of 1.5 mm; a graduation mark on the top edge of the scale 6 corresponds with a 0.1 mm change of the setting range. The maximum setting range is ± 16 mm. Example: The desired depth-of-cut is to be 10.0 mm; the trial cut resulted in a cutting depth of 9.6 mm. – Press the release lever for plunge action 7 and guide the router to the uppermost position. – Turn adjustment knob 5 by 0.4 mm/4 graduation marks (difference from nominal to actual value) in clockwise di- rection. – Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying out another trial cut. When fine-adjusting the routing depth, take care that the in- dex mark 8 on the side of the plunge base points towards the centre imprinted line. This measure ensures that there is suf- ficient travel in both directions for readjustment of the plunge depth. When the plunge base 2 is lowered to the maximal plunge depth, cutting deeper by means of the fine adjustment is not possible, as the maximum travel has been utilised. Fine adjustment is also not possible when the depth stop 11 faces against the turret stop 12. Material Router bit diameter (mm) Thumbwheel

For this, press clamping lever 25 and slide the rout- ing motor 1 up or down in the non-plunge base 3, until it, with the clamping lever 25 released, is locked in one of the 3 notches 26. The notches each have a clearance of

– The adjustment knob for depth-of-cut fine adjustment 24 is used for fine adjustment of the routing depth; turn clock- wise to increase the routing depth, and anticlockwise to decrease the routing depth. The travel on the scale of ad- justment knob 24 is indicated in inch and millimeter. The maximum setting range is 41 mm. The scale for depth-of- cut adjustment 34 provides added orientation. Example: The desired depth-of-cut is to be 10.0 mm; the trial cut resulted in a cutting depth of 9.5 mm. – Set the scale of the adjustment knob 24 to “0” without changing the setting of the adjustment knob 24 itself. Then set the adjustment knob 24 to the value “0.5” by turning in clockwise direction. – Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying out another trial cut. Working Advice Direction of Feed and Routing Process (see figure I) f The routing process must always be carried out against the rotation direction of the router bit 18 (up-cutting motion). When routing in the direction with the rota- tion of the router (down-cutting), the machine can break loose, eliminating control by the user. For routing with the plunge base 2, proceed as follows: – Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section “Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”. – Place the machine with the router bit mounted on the workpiece to be machined and switch the power tool on. – Press the release lever for plunge action 7 down and slowly guide the router down until the set depth-of-cut is reached. Let go of release lever 7 again to lock this plunging depth. – Carry out the routing process applying uniform feed. – After finishing the routing process, guide the router up to the uppermost position. – Switch the power tool off. For routing with the non-plunge base 3, proceed as follows: – Note: Take into consideration that for routing work with the non-plunge base 3, the router bit 18 always protrudes out of the base plate 13. Do not damage the template or the workpiece. – Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section “Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”. – Switch the machine on and guide it to the location subject to routing. – Carry out the routing process applying uniform feed. – Switch the power tool off. Do not place the power tool down until the router bit has come to a standstill. Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure J) For working large workpieces, e. g., when routing grooves, a board or straight edge can be securely fastened to the work- piece as an auxiliary guide. The multifunction router can be guided alongside the path of this auxiliary guide. When using the plunge base 2, guide the guide plate (flattened side) of the multifunction router alongside the auxiliary guide. Shaping or Molding Applications 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 power tool alongside the workpiece edge with both hands, paying attention that the router is positioned rectangular. Too much pressure can damage the edge of the workpiece. Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure K) Slide the parallel guide 35 with the guide rods 36 into the base plate 13 and tighten as required with the wing bolts 41. Additionally, the parallel guide can be adjusted lengthwise with the wing bolts 37 and 38. Fine adjustment of the length is possible with the fine-adjust- ment knob 39 after loosening both wing bolts 37. One revolu- tion corresponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One gradu- ation mark on the fine-adjustment knob 39 changes the setting range by 0.1 mm. The effective contact surface of the parallel guide can be ad- justed with the edge guide 40

Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed and later- al pressure on the parallel guide alongside the workpiece edge. Routing with the Router Compass (see figure L) The router compass/guide-rail adapter 42 can be used for cir- cular routing jobs. Mount the router compass as shown in the figure. Screw the centring screw 47 into the thread on the router compass. Insert the point of the centring screw into the cen- tre of the circular arc to be routed, paying attention that point of the screw engages into the workpiece surface. Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving the router com- pass and tighten the wing bolts 44 and 45. The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-adjustment knob 46 after loosening the wing bolt 45. One revolution corre- sponds with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark on the fine-adjustment knob 46 changes the setting range by
