Routing with the Curve Guide
(see figures K – L)
Slide the parallel guide 31 with the guide rods
30 into the base plate 6 and tighten it as re-
quired with the wing bolts 4.
Fasten the curve guide 34 with the guide roller
mounted through the hole on the parallel guide
31.
Guide the power tool with light lateral pressure
alongside the workpiece edge.
Routing with the Router Compass
(see figure M)
The router compass/guide-rail adapter 35 can
be used for circular routing jobs. Mount the
router compass as shown in the figure.
Screw the centring screw 40 into the thread on
the router compass. Insert the point of the cen-
tring screw into the centre of the circular arc to
be routed, paying attention that point of the
screw engages into the workpiece surface.
Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving
the router compass and tighten the wing bolts
37 and 38.
The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-ad-
justment knob 39 after loosening the wing bolt
38. One revolution corresponds with a setting
range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark on the
fine-adjustment knob 39 changes the setting
range by 0.1 mm.
Guide the switched on power tool over the
workpiece with the right handle 2 and the router
compass handle 36.
Routing with Guide Rail (see figure N)
Straight routing cuts can be carried out with
help of the guide rail 41.
The base spacer 42 must be mounted in order to
compensate the height difference.
Mount the router compass/guide-rail adapter 35
as shown in the figure.
Fasten the guide rail 41 to the workpiece with
suitable clamping devices, e. g. screw clamps.
Place the machine with the guide-rail adapter 35
mounted onto the guide rail.
Bosch Power Tools
Routing with Guide Bushing (see figures O – P)
The guide bushing 43 enables template and pat-
tern routing on workpieces.
Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on
the thickness of the template or the pattern. Be-
cause of the projecting height of the guide bush-
ing, the template must have a minimum thick-
ness of 8 mm.
Actuate the release lever 20 and insert the guide
bushing 43 from below into the base plate 6. En-
sure that the encoding keys clearly engage in the
grooves of the guide bushing.
Select a router bit with a diameter smaller
than the interior diameter of the guide
bushing.
For routing with the guide bushing 43 proceed
as follows:
– Guide the switched on power tool with the
guide bushing toward the template.
– Push clamping lever 16 down and slowly low-
er the plunge router until the adjusted depth-
of-cut is reached. Let go of the clamping le-
ver 16 again to lock this plunge depth.
If required, push clamping lever 16 up again
to finally lock it in place.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the
protruding guide bushing alongside the tem-
plate applying lateral pressure.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
In extreme working conditions, conductive
dust can accumulate in the interior of the
machine when working with metal. The pro-
tective insulation of the machine can be de-
graded. The use of a stationary extraction
system is recommended in such cases as
well as frequently blowing out the ventila-
tion slots and installing a residual current
device (RCD).
