Deluxe Router Guide (RA1054)
(optional accessory)
(Fig. 45)
The Bosch deluxe router guide is an optional
accessory that will guide the palm router
parallel to a straight edge or allow you to
create circles and arcs.
With the Deluxe Router Guide 42 installed
and adjusted, the router should be fed nor-
mally, keeping the guide in contact with
the edge of the workpiece at all times. See
"Feeding the Palm Router" on page 30.
The deluxe router guide may also be posi-
tioned directly under the router base for op-
erations where a cut is needed close to or at
the edge of the work.
The deluxe router guide includes a dust ex-
traction hood and the VAC002 vacuum hose
adapter.
For complete instructions on installation
and operation, please refer to the instruc-
tions included with this accessory.
