Fitting
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Changing the tool
Wearing protective gloves while fitting and changing
u
router bits is recommended.
Original router bits from the extensive range of Bosch ac-
cessories are available from your specialist dealer.
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).
Open the wing bolt (11) on the routing base (2).
Pull the drive unit out in an upward direction.
Changing the Collet (see figure B)
Depending on the router bit used, you may have to change
the collet with the cap nut (6) before fitting the router bit.
If the right collet for your router bit is already installed, fol-
low the work steps in the following section.
The collet must sit in the cap nut with a small amount of play.
The collet with the cap nut (6) must be easy to fit. If the cap
nut or collet is damaged, replace it immediately.
Press and hold the spindle lock button (7). If necessary, turn
the motor spindle manually until it is locked in place.
Unscrew the cap nut (6) anticlockwise with the open-ended
spanner (20).
Release the spindle lock button.
Note: Alternative possibility for replacing collet (without
pressing the spindle lock button (7)): Place two wrenches
on the shaft using a dihedron, in order to loosen or tighten
the cap nut (6).
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 cap nut on the tool holder (19).
Loosely tighten the cap nut.
Do not, under any circumstances, tighten the collet
u
with the tightening nut until a router bit has been fit-
ted. The collet may otherwise become damaged.
Using the Router Bit (see figures C1 to C2)
Wearing protective gloves while fitting and changing
u
router bits is recommended.
Router bits are available in a wide variety of designs and
qualities depending on the intended application.
Always insert the router bit into the collet up to the
K marking (32). If you are using a router bit without K mark-
ing, insert the router bit approximately 2/3 of the shaft
length into the collet.
Bosch Power Tools
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 are specially designed for
hard and abrasive materials, such as hardwood.
Original router bits from the extensive range of Bosch ac-
cessories are available from your specialist dealer.
Only use undamaged and clean router bits.
Installing the Routing Base (see figure A)
To start routing, the routing base (2) must be fitted back
onto the drive unit (1).
Open the wing bolt (11) on the routing base (2).
Slide the drive unit (1) into the routing base (2).
Close the wing bolt (11) on the routing base (2).
Note: The wing bolt (11) and the knurled screw (3) can be
exchanged with each other.
After assembly, always check that the drive unit is
u
firmly seated in the routing base.
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Connecting the Dust Extraction System (see figure D)
Insert the adapter for dust extraction (10) into the power
tool from the front. It audibly engages. To remove, grasp the
side of the adapter (10) and pull it off forwards.
Put an extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (29) (accessory) on the
installed dust extraction adapter (28). Connect the dust ex-
traction hose (29) to a dust extractor (accessory).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust ex-
tractor.
