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. 19).
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. 20).
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. 21). In addition, it features a fine
adjustment knob and indicator for accurately
positioning the edge guide relative to the bit.

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
