Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Fitting the dust extraction adapter
The dust extraction adapter (24) can be fitted to the front or
the back using the hose connection. When fitting with the
hose connection to the front, the chip protection (5) must
first be removed. Fasten the dust extraction adapter (24) to
the base plate (6) using the two knurled screws (25).
To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction
adapter (24) must be cleaned regularly.
Connecting the dust extraction system (see figure B)
Attach an extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (23) (accessory) to
the fitted dust extraction adapter. Connect the dust extrac-
tion hose (23) to a dust extractor (accessory).
The power tool can be directly connected to the plug socket
of a Bosch all-purpose dust extractor with remote starter.
This dust extractor is started up automatically when the
power tool is switched on.
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.
Fitting the chip protection (see figure C)
Push the chip protection (5) into the guide from the front so
that it clicks into place. To remove it, hold the sides of the
chip protection and pull it forwards.
Operation
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Starting Operation
Preselecting the speed
You can preselect the required speed using the speed
preselection thumbwheel (20), even during operation.

The values shown in the table are guide values. The required
speed is dependent on the material and the work conditions
and can be determined by practical trials.

Switching On and Off
Before switching on/off, set the required routing depth.
To switch on the power tool, first press the lock button (1),
then press and hold the on/off switch (19).
Press the lock button (1) again to lock the on/off
switch (19).
To switch off, release the on/off switch (19). If the on/off
switch (19) is locked with the lock button (1), briefly press
the on/off switch (19) and then release it.
Constant electronic control
The Constant Electronic keeps the speed at no load and un-
der load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform perform-
ance.
Setting the routing depth (see figure D)
The routing depth must only be set while the power tool is
switched off.
To set the rough routing depth, proceed as follows:
– Place the power tool with a fitted router bit onto the work-
piece you want to machine.
– Set the step buffer (9) to the lowest step; the step buffer
audibly clicks into place.
– Loosen the wing bolt on the depth stop (11) so that the
depth stop (13) moves freely.
– Push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➊ and slowly move the router
down until the router bit (18) is touching the surface of
the workpiece. Release the clamping lever for locking the
routing depth (16) again to lock this depth. If necessary,
push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➋ to fully lock it.
– Press the depth stop (13) down until it is resting on the
step buffer (9). Set the slide with the index mark (12) to
position 0 on the routing depth scale (14).
– Set the depth stop (13) to the required routing depth and
tighten the wing bolt on the depth stop (11). Take care
not to accidentally move the index mark (12).
– Push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➊ and move the router to the
highest position.
For larger routing depths, you should perform the cut in sev-
eral phases, so that only a small amount of material is re-
