Fitting the base cover sleeve (see figure J)
Intensive use of the power tool will cause the routing base to
become hot. In this case, a base cover sleeve (accessory)
can be fitted to protect the hands.
Remove the clamping lever (10).
Place the base cover sleeve (23) on the routing base (2)
from above.
Reassemble the clamping lever again in such a manner that
the drive unit (1) is held securely in the routing base when
the clamping lever is locked.
Routing with the tilt base (see figures K–M)
The tilt base (24) is particularly suitable for flush routing of
laminated edges at hard-to-reach locations, for routing spe-
cial angles as well as for bevelling edges.
For edge routing using the tilt base, the router bit must be fit-
ted with a pilot pin or a ball bearing.
To fit the tilt base, follow the work steps in the correspond-
ing section (see "Fitting the routing base (see figure E)",
page 16).
To achieve precise angles, the tilt base (24) is equipped with
adjustment notches in increments of 7.5°. The complete ad-
justment range is 75° (45° towards the front and 30° to-
wards the rear).
Loosen both wing bolts (25).
Set the required angle using the scale (26) and tighten the
wing bolts (25) again.
Changing the guide plate (see figure N)
The side-handle guide plate (30) can be mounted in place of
the regular guide plate (6). It features an additional
handle (27) and can be connected to a dust extraction sys-
tem.
– Unscrew the four cylinder screws on the underside of the
guide plate (6) and remove the guide plate.
– Screw the side-handle guide plate (30) to the base plate
with the fastening screws provided.
In order to connect a dust extraction system, an extraction
adapter (30) must be fitted to the side-handle guide
plate (29).
– Screw the extraction adapter to the guide plate with the
two screws provided.
– Connect an extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) to the fitted ex-
traction adapter.
– To ensure optimum dust extraction, the extraction ad-
apter should be cleaned regularly.
For routing edges, the extraction guard (28) should also be
used.
– Fit the extraction guard between the side-handle guide
plate (30) and the extraction adapter (29).
– Remove the extraction guard again for working smooth
face surfaces.
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.
1 609 92A 7XZ | (18.07.2022)
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.
Readjusting the clamping lever (see figure O)
When the drive unit (1) is no longer tightly seated in the
routing base, the tensioning force of the clamping lever (10)
must be readjusted.
– Open the clamping lever.
– Turn the nut (31) approx. 45° clockwise with an open-
ended spanner (8 mm).
– Lock the clamping lever again.
– Check that the drive unit is clamped securely. Do not
over-tighten the nut.
