Working Advice - Bosch POF 1200 AE Notice Originale

26 | English
– Turn the scale 17 to "0" and loosen wing bolt
11.
– Turn the adjustment knob 18 by 0.4 mm/4
graduation marks (difference from set to ac-
tual value) in clockwise direction and tighten
the wing bolt 11.
– Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying
out another trial cut.
After adjusting the depth-of-cut, do not change
the position of the slide 12 on the depth stop 13
any more, so that the actual cutting depth can
be read on the scale 14.
Fine Adjustment of the Depth-of-cut
(POF 1200 AE)
Different depths-of-cut can be preset with the
step buffer 9. The adjustment is carried out in
the same manner as previously described, with
the difference that by screwing the adjusting
screws 24 in or out, the height difference be-
tween the stops can be changed.

Working Advice

Protect router bits against shock and im-
pact.
Direction of Feed and Routing Process
(see figure E)
The routing process must always be carried
out against the rotation direction of the
router bit 21 (up-cutting motion). When
routing in the direction with the rotation of
the router (down-cutting), the machine can
break loose, eliminating control by the user.
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
"Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
– Place the machine with the router bit mount-
ed on the workpiece to be machined and
switch the power tool on.
– 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.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.

– After finishing the cutting process, guide the
plunge router upward again to the upper-
most position.
– Switch the power tool off.
Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure F)
For working large workpieces, e. g. when rout-
ing grooves, a board or wood strip can be fas-
tened to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide
alongside which the router can be guided. Guide
the router with the flattened side of the guide
plate along the auxiliary guide.
Shaping or Molding Applications
For shaping or molding applications without the
use of a parallel guide, the router bit must be
equipped with a pilot or a ball bearing.
– Guide the switched on power tool from the
side toward the workpiece until the pilot or
the ball bearing of the router bit faces
against the workpiece edge to be machined.
– Guide the power tool alongside the work-
piece edge with both hands, paying attention
that the router is positioned rectangular. Too
much pressure can damage the edge of the
workpiece.
Routing with Parallel Guide (see figures G–H)
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.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform
feed and lateral pressure on the parallel guide
alongside the workpiece edge.
Routing Circular Arc Profiles (see figures I – J)
Turn the parallel guide 31 around so that the
facing surface of the parallel guide faces up-
ward.
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 centring pin 32 with the wing bolt 33
through the hole in the parallel guide 31.
Pierce the centring pin 32 into the marked cen-
tre of the arc profile and carry out the routing
process applying uniform feed.
