Safety Notes General Power Tool Safety Warnings Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in elec- tric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia- tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for out- door use. Use of a cord suitable for out- door use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca- tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur- rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious person- al injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Al- ways wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec- tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or bat- tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin- ger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be- fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal inju- ry. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex- pected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. WARNING OBJ_BUCH-255-003.book Page 7 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:18 AM8 | English 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) Bosch Power Tools g) If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor- rect power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de- signed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be re- paired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfa- miliar with the power tool or these in- structions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may affect the power tool’s op- eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop- erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in- structions, taking into account the work- ing conditions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual- ified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Warnings for Routers f The allowable speed of the router bit must be at least as high as the maximum speed listed on the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than permitted can be de- stroyed. f Router bits or other accessories must fit ex- actly in the tool holder (collet) of your ma- chine. Routing bits that do not fit precisely in the tool holder of the machine rotate irregu- larly, vibrate heavily and can lead to loss of control. f Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is dan- ger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece. f Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws. The router bit can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations. f Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an oper- ation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator. f Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. f Do not use blunt or damaged router bits. Blunt or damaged router bits cause in- creased friction, can become jammed and lead to imbalance. f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. OBJ_BUCH-255-003.book Page 8 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:18 AMEnglish | 9 Bosch Power Tools 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) f Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool. f Never use the machine with a damaged ca- ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is dam- aged while working. Damaged cables in- crease the risk of an electric shock. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fit- ted in its place by an authorised customer serv- ice agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be in- serted into a mains socket elsewhere. Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid- ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less. Functional Description Read all safety warnings and all in- structions.

OBJ_BUCH-255-003.book Page 9 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:18 AM10 | English 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) Bosch Power Tools Technical Data Assembly Changing the Tool f Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. f It is recommended to wear protective gloves when inserting or replacing router bits. Disassembling the Routing Base (see figure A) Before a router bit can be inserted, the routing base 2 must first be removed from the motor unit 1. – Open the clamping lever 10 and turn the routing base 2 so that the mark is in line with the symbol on the motor unit 1. – Pull the motor unit upward to the stop. – Turn the motor unit in anticlockwise direc- tion to the stop and pull it out of the routing base. Replacing the Collet (see figure B) Depending on the routing tool being used, the tightening nut with the collet 5 may need to be replaced before inserting the router bit. When the right collet for your router bit is al- ready mounted, follow the work steps as de- scribed under “Inserting a Router Bit”. The collet 12 must have somewhat play when seated in the tightening nut. The tightening nut 5 must assemble easily. Should the tightening nut or collet be damaged, replace immediately. – Push the spindle lock button 9 and keep it pressed. If required, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks. (see Fig. C1) – Unscrew the tightening nut 5 with open-end spanner 14 turning in anticlockwise direc- tion. – Release the spindle lock button. – If required, clean all parts to be mounted pri- or to assembling, using a soft brush or by blowing out with compressed air. – Start the new tightening nut on tool holder

– Hand-tighten the tightening nut. f Do not tighten the tightening nut of the col- let without a router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged. Inserting a Router Bit (see figures C1–C2) Depending on the application, router bits are available in the most different designs and qual- ities. 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 particular- ly suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g. hardwood and aluminium. Original router bits from the extensive Bosch ac- cessories program are available at your special- ist shop. Only use clean router bits that are in perfect condition.

OBJ_DOKU-17021-001.fm Page 10 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:48 AMEnglish | 11 Bosch Power Tools 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) – Push the spindle lock button 9 and keep it pressed. If required, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks. (see Fig. C1) – Loosen the tightening nut 5 with the open- end spanner by turning in anticlockwise di- rection 14. (see Fig. C2) – 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 direction. – Release the spindle lock button. f Do not tighten the tightening nut of the col- let without a router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged. Mounting the Routing Base (see figure D) For routing, the routing base 2 must be mounted on the motor unit 1 again. – Open the clamping lever 10 on the motor unit if locked. – 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 motor unit in clockwise direction un- til the mark points against the symbol. – Push the motor unit further into the routing base. – After mounting is completed, turn the mark on the routing base to the symbol on the motor unit. – Lock the clamping lever. f After mounting, always check if the motor unit is seated tightly in the routing base. If required, change the pre-tension of the clamp- ing lever 10 (see “Readjusting the Clamping Le- ver”, page 14). Mounting the Base Cover Sleeve (see figure E) Intensive use of the trimmer will cause the rout- ing base to become hot. In this case, a base cov- er sleeve (accessory) can be mounted for pro- tection of the hands. – Remove the clamping lever 10. – Place the base cover sleeve 15 on the routing base 2 from above. – Reassemble the clamping lever again in such a manner that the motor unit 1 is held se- curely in the routing base when the clamping lever is locked. Dust/Chip Extraction 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 reac- tions 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 con- nection with wood-treatment additives (chro- mate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. – Provide for good ventilation of the working place. – It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator. f Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. OBJ_DOKU-17021-001.fm Page 11 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:48 AM12 | English 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) Bosch Power Tools Operation Adjusting the Depth-of-cut (see figure F) f The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may on- ly be carried out when the router is switched off. For coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut, pro- ceed as follows: – Place the machine with the router bit mount- ed on the workpiece to be machined. – Open the clamping lever 10 on the motor unit if locked. – 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 mo- tor 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 adjust- ment with a trial cut and correct it, if neces- sary. 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 thumb- wheel 3. – Lock the clamping lever. Starting Operation f Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power 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 im- pact. Direction of Feed and Routing Process (see figure G) f The feed motion of the router bit 4 must al- ways be carried out against the rotation di- rection of the router bit (up-grinding). When routing in the rotation direction of the router bit (down-cutting), the machine can break loose, eliminating control by the user. f Use the machine only with the routing base 2 mounted. Loss of control over the machine can cause injuries. f Before beginning the routing procedure, check if the mark on the routing base is positioned in line with the symbol on the motor unit 1. Note: Take into consideration that the router bit 4 always extends out of the base plate 7. Do not damage the template or the workpiece. – Set the desired depth-of-cut (see “Adjusting the Depth-of-cut”, page 12). – Switch the machine on and guide it to the lo- cation subject to working. – Carry out the routing process applying uni- form feed. – Switch the machine off after finishing the routing process. f Do not place the power tool down until af- ter the router bit has come to a complete stop. Coasting application tools can cause injuries. OBJ_BUCH-255-003.book Page 12 Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:18 AMEnglish | 13 Bosch Power Tools 2 609 140 653 | (22.4.09) Routing with Guide Bushing (see figures H1–H3) The guide bushing 16 enables template and pat- tern routing on workpieces. Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on the thickness of the template or the pattern. Be- cause of the projecting height of the guide bush- ing, the template must have a minimum thick- ness of 8 mm. (see figure H1) f Select a router bit with a diameter smaller than the interior diameter of the guide bushing. – Unscrew the four pan head screws on the bottom side of the guide plate 6 and remove the guide plate. – Insert the guide bushing 16 into the guide plate. (see figure H2) – Screw the guide plate loosely onto the base plate 7 again. The guide plate must be able to move freely. To ensure that the distance from router bit cen- tre and guide bushing edge is uniform, the guide bushing and the guide plate must be adjusted to each other, if required. – Align the guide plate in such a manner that router bit and guide bushing are centred to the guide plate opening. (see figure H3) – Hold the guide plate in this position and tighten the fastening screws. For routing with the guide bushing 16 proceed as follows: – Place the machine with the guide bushing 16 against the template. – Guide the switched on power tool with the protruding guide bushing alongside the tem- plate applying lateral pressure. Shaping or Molding Applications (see figure I) For shaping or molding applications without the use of a parallel 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 work- piece. Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure K) For edge-parallel cuts, mount the parallel guide

– Fasten the parallel guide 17 to the routing base 2 with wing bolt 18. – Adjust the desired depth setting with wing bolt 19 on the parallel guide. – Guide the switched on power tool with uni- form feed and lateral pressure on the parallel guide alongside the workpiece edge. Routing with Roller Guide (see figure L) The roller guide 20 is used for routing edges with router bits without pilot or ball bearing. – Fasten the roller guide 2 to the routing base with wing bolt 18. – Guide the machine with uniform feed along- side the workpiece edge. Lateral Clearance: In order to change the amount of material removal, the lateral clear- ance between workpiece and the guide roller 21 of the roller guide 20 can be adjusted. – Loosen wing bolt 22, adjust the desired later- al clearance by turning wing bolt 23 and tighten wing bolt 22 again. Height: Adjust the vertical alignment of the roll- er guide depending on the router bit in use and the thickness of the material to be worked. – Loosen wing bolt 18 on the roller guide, move the roller guide to the desired position and tighten the wing bolt again.
