ATTACH ROUTER TO MOUNTING PLATE
(FIGS. 16–18)
1. Remove the black phenolic sub-base from your
Bosch router (Fig. 16).
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood that
mounts to the top of the metal router base and you
want to use it under the router table, this is a
convenient time to install it.
3. Using the chart below, determine the hardware
(included) needed and mount type for your
Bosch router.
• For the 1601A, 1602A, 1604A and the 1617 series
routers, the screws are driven into threaded holes
in the router's base (mount type 1).
• For the 1613 and 1619 series routers: the screws
go all the way through the base and are fastened
with washers and nuts (mount type 2).
The RA1186 plunge base is not
recommended for use in a router table. Damage to
the plunge router base may occur.
The top and front of the mounting plate is
determined by the location of the guide pin holes.
These holes are to the right of the bit opening.
4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 18) on page
19, and align the appropriate mounting plate holes
for your Bosch router to the router base holes.
Make sure that the depth adjustment controls on
the router face the front of the mounting plate.
5. Mount your Bosch router to the mounting plate
(Fig. 17).
