TEMPLET GUIDES
The router is equipped with an exclusive
quick-change templet guide adapter, which
firmly grips the guides with a spring-loaded
ring. To insert or change the templet guide,
retract the templet guide release lever. Align
the cutaways on the templet guide with the
tabs on the bottom of the templet guide
adapter. Insert the templet guide and
release the lever to grip the templet guide in
place (Fig. 17).
Templet guides are used with a number of
special accessories, such as hinge templets,
which are listed in your BOSCH catalog. In
addition, special templets are easily prepared
for cutting repeated patterns, special
designs, inlays, and other applications. A
templet pattern may be made of plywood,
hardboard, metal or even plastic, and the
design can be cut with a router, jigsaw, or
other suitable cutting tool. Remember that
the pattern will have to be made to
compensate for the distance between the
router bit and the templet guide (the "offset"),
as the final workpiece will differ in size from
the templet pattern by that amount, due to
the bit position (Fig. 18).
DELUXE ROUTER GUIDE
(Not included, available as accessory)
The Bosch deluxe router guide is an optional
accessory that will guide the router parallel to
a straight edge or allow you to create circles
and arcs.
The deluxe router guide is supplied with two
rods and six thumb screws to fasten the guide
(Fig. 19). In addition, it features a fine
adjustment knob and indicator for accurately
positioning the edge guide relative to the bit.

Also available as an optional accessory is an
additional adapter, the RA1100, that allows
use of conventional threaded templet guides
with the Bosch quick-release system.
With the guide installed and adjusted, the
router should be fed normally, keeping the
guide in contact with the edge of the
workpiece at all times. The deluxe router
guide may also be positioned directly under
the router base for operations where a cut is
needed close to or at the edge of the work.
For complete instructions on installation and
operation, please refer to the instructions
which are included with this accessory.
