Maintenance And Service; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch POF 1200 AE Instruction Manual

20 | English
Screw the centring screw (40) into the thread of the router
compass. Position the tip of the screw in the centre point of
the curve you want to rout; make sure the tip of the screw
reaches the surface of the workpiece.
Roughly set the required radius by moving the router com-
pass and tightening the wing bolts (37) and (38).
Then loosen the wing bolt (38) and use the knob (39) to
fine-adjust the length. One revolution corresponds to an ad-
justment range of 2.0 mm. Each of the graduation marks on
the knob (39) changes the adjustment range by 0.1 mm.
Switch the power tool on and move it over the workpiece us-
ing the right handle and the handle for the router
compass (36).
Routing with a guide rail (see figure N)
You can use the guide rail (41) to rout in straight lines.
To level out the height difference, you must fit the spacer
plate (42).
Fit the router compass/guide rail adapter (35) as shown in
the figure.
Fasten the guide rail (41) to the workpiece using suitable
clamping devices, e.g. screw clamps. Put the power tool
with mounted guide rail adapter (35) on the guide rail.
Routing with the guide bushing (see figures O–P)
Using the guide bushing (43), you can transfer contours
from templates or patterns to the workpiece.
Select the guide bushing that is suitable for the thickness of
the template or pattern. Due to the protruding height of the
guide bushing, the template must have a minimum thickness
of 8 mm.
Move the release lever (20) and push the guide
bushing (43) into the base plate (6) from below. The coding
cams must audibly click into the recesses of the guide bush-
ing.
Select a router bit with a diameter that is smaller than
u
the interior diameter of the guide bushing.
To rout with the guide bushing (43), proceed as follows:
– Switch the power tool on and move it with the guide bush-
ing towards the template.
– Push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) down and slowly move the router down until it
reaches the set routing depth. Release the clamping lever
for locking the routing depth (16) again to lock this
depth. If necessary, push the clamping lever for locking
the routing depth (16) up to fully lock it.
– Move the power tool with the protruding guide bushing
along the template, applying pressure to the sides.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
1 609 92A 66X | (25.03.2021)
In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
u
possible. Clean ventilation slots frequently using a
brush and install a residual current device (RCD) up-
stream. When machining metals, conductive dust can
settle inside the power tool, which can affect its protect-
ive insulation.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
