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-1209-004.book Page 15 Wednesday, March 2, 2011 2:00 PM16 | English 2 610 016 614 | (2.3.11) 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 Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur- faces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make ex- posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator. f Use clamps or another practical way to se- cure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. 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 Keep your hands out of the routing area and away from the router bit. Danger of injury. f Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws. The router bit can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations. 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.

Blunt or damaged router bits cause in- creased friction, can become jammed and lead to imbalance. f Do not keep combustible materials close to your workplace. When working tiles, hot ma- terial chips develop, which could start a fire. 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.

Only use clean router bits that are in perfect condition. – Push the spindle lock button 15 and keep it pressed. If required, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks. – Loosen union nut 3 with open-end spanner 1 (size 17 mm) by turning toward n. – Insert router bit 16 into collet 13 to the mark on the router bit shank or until approx. 5 mm of the router bit shank are still visible. – Tighten union nut 3 with open-end spanner 1 (size 17 mm) by turning toward o. – 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. Dust/Chip Extraction f Dust from ceramic tiles (quartz dust) or nat- ural stone (mineral dust) can be harmful to one’s health. Contact with or inhaling the dusts can trigger allergic reactions to the op- erator or bystanders and/or lead to respira- tory infections. Certain dusts, such as quartz dust, are con- sidered carcinogenic. Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. – As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable for the material. – Provide for good ventilation of the work- ing place. – It is recommended to wear a P2 filter- class respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. Connecting the Dust Extraction (see figure E) Mount the vacuum hose 17 (accessory) onto the vacuum connection 4. Connect the vacuum hose 17 with a vacuum cleaner (accessory). The machine can be plugged directly into the re- ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote starting control. The vacuum clean- er starts automatically when the machine is switched on. The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma- terial being worked. When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det- rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner. Mounting the Holder with the Vacuum Hose to the Retainer for the Hose Holder (see figure F) Fasten holder 18 and vacuum hose 17 by insert- ing them into the retainer for the hose holder

Operation Adjusting the Depth-of-cut (see figure G) f The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may on- ly be carried out when the router is switched off. For adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as follows: – Place the machine with the router bit mount- ed on the workpiece to be machined. – Loosen cutting depth adjustment knob 5, so that footplate 7 can move freely. – Adjust the desired routing depth by moving the footplate 7 up or down. – The application tool should project at least 5 mm above the workpiece. – Tighten cutting depth adjustment knob 5. – Check the carried out depth-of-cut adjust- ment with a trial cut and correct it, if neces- sary.

To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 9 or, if it is locked, briefly push down the back of the On/Off switch 9 and then release it. Constant Electronic Control Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no-load and under load, and ensures uniform working performance. Soft Starting The electronic soft starting feature limits the torque upon switching on and increases the working life of the motor. Working Advice Routing a Cut-out (see figures H–I) Take care that the surface is free of any obstruc- tions. – Clamp the workpiece. – While working, hold the power tool firmly by the handle 12. – Guide the switched-on power tool toward the workpiece and plunge into the workpiece with moderate pressure at an angle of ap- prox. 30 – 45° with circular motion. – Slightly move the power tool up and down alongside the cutting line. – Carry out the routing process applying uni- form feed. – Switch the power tool off. Do not place the power tool down until the router bit has come to a standstill. Routing with the Core Bits (see figures J – L) The core bit 19 is used for routing/drilling a hole into a tile or e.g., a wall. – Clamp the workpiece. – While working, hold the power tool firmly by the handle 12. – Guide the switched-on power tool toward the workpiece and plunge into the workpiece with moderate pressure at an angle of ap- prox. 30 – 45°. – Slightly move the power tool with circular motion at an angle of approx. 15°. – Pay attention not to overheat the core bit 19. When using core bits with diameters smaller than 12 mm, provide for sufficient cooling, e.g., 10 seconds drilling, 5 seconds cooling. – Switch the machine off as soon as the work- piece has been drilled through. Do not re- move or pull out the power tool until after the router bit has come to a complete stop. – Work the cut-out blank out of the core bit 19 by applying a screwdriver via the lateral core- bit openings.
