Noise/Vibration Information

Noise emission values determined according to
EN 60745-2-17.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:
83 dB(A); sound power level 94 dB(A).
Uncertainty K = 3 dB.

The vibration level given in these instructions has been
measured in accordance with a standardised measuring pro-
cedure and may be used to compare power tools. It can also
be used for a preliminary estimation of exposure to vibra-
tion.
The stated vibration level applies to the main applications of
the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for differ-
ent applications, with different application tools or poorly
maintained, the vibration level may differ. This can signific-
antly increase the exposure to vibration over the total work-
ing period.
To estimate the exposure to vibration accurately, the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not ac-
Bosch Power Tools
tually being used should also be taken into account. This can
significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total

working period.

Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping the hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.

Removing the routing base (see figure A)
Before fitting a router bit, you must first separate the routing
base (2) from the drive unit (1).

Changing the collet (see figure B)
rpm 33000
Depending on the router bit used, you may have to change
the tightening nut with the collet (14) before fitting the

router bit.

If the correct collet for your router bit is already fitted,
kg 1.4
please follow the work steps in the following section on (see
"Fitting the router bit (see figure C1 – C2)", page 13).

The collet (14) must sit in the tightening nut with a small
amount of play. The tightening nut (7) must be easy to fit. If
the tightening nut or collet is damaged, replace it immedi-
ately.
Place the open-end spanner (16) on the tool holder (15)
(see figure C1).
Unscrew the tightening nut (7) in an anti-clockwise direction
using the open-end spanner (17).
If required, clean all the parts you want to fit with a soft
brush or by blowing them clean with compressed air before
assembling them.
Place the new tightening nut onto the tool holder (15).
Loosely tighten the tightening nut.

Fitting the router bit (see figure C1 – C2)
Router bits are available in a wide variety of designs and
qualities depending on the intended application.
Router bits made of high-performance high-speed steel
(HSS) are suited to machining soft materials such as soft-
wood and plastic.
Router bits with carbide tips (HM) are especially suitable
for hard and abrasive materials such as hardwood and alu-
minium.
Original router bits from the extensive range of Bosch ac-
cessories are available from your specialist dealer.
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Wearing protective gloves while fitting and changing
router bits is recommended.
Do not, under any circumstances, tighten the collet
with the tightening nut until a router bit has been fit-
ted. The collet may otherwise become damaged.
