CHECK SUBBASE LOCATION

Cutter diameter must be at
least 1/4" smaller than
WARNING
opening for the bit and cutter.
Make sure that the bit and its cutter are
centered in the subbase opening. If necessary,
adjust the location of the subbase as follows:
1. Loosen the three screws that hold the
subbase.
2. Adjust the location of the subbase as
needed so that the bit and its cutter are
centered in the subbase opening. The
optional RA1151 centering device makes
this easy.
3. Tighten the three screws that hold the
subbase (Fig. 8).
When the subbase has been centered in this
manner, any part of the subbase can be used
as a guiding surface without worrying about a
difference in the cut line. See "Guiding The
Router" on page 13.
Disconnect the plug from
the power source before
WARNING
making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
Bosch routers are designed for speed,
accuracy and con venience in performing
cabinet work, fluting, beading, cove-cutting,
rounding edges, dovetailing, etc. They will
enable you to accomplish inlay work,
decorative edges and many types of special
routing.

SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT

Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor is
switched off.
1. Install desired router bit.
2. Place the router on the workpiece.
3. Turn the clamping knob to the top,
unlocked position
4. Slowly lower the motor until the router bit
touches the workpiece (B, Fig. 9)
5. Note the reading on the scale (above the
motor release button) and add the desired
depth-of-cut to this value to determine the
target scale value.

6. Lower the motor until the target scale value
is reached.
7. Turn the clamping knob to the middle
position symbol, for fine adjustment (C,
Fig. 9). Always make sure the motor is
held tightly in the base.
8. Check the depth-of-cut and make fine
adjustment if necessary (D, Fig. 9). See
FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT section
below for details.
9. Turn the clamping knob to the bottom,
locked position
make sure the motor sits tightly in the
base.
Note: the depth of the motor and bit may shift
very slightly when the clamping knob is turned
to the locked position.
10. Make a trial cut to verify that the router is
set to make the cut as desired.

FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor is
switched off.
1. Turn the clamping to the middle position
symbol, for fine adjustment (C, Fig. 9).
2. Adjust the desired depth-of-cut with the
knurled wheel on back of base (D, Fig. 9).
