corresponds with a 0.1 mm change of the set-
ting range. The maximum setting range is
± 8 mm.
Example: The desired depth-of-cut is to be
10.0 mm; the trial cut resulted in a cutting depth
of 9.6 mm.
– Lift up the router and place e. g. a piece of
scrap wood under the guide plate 12 so that
the router bit 22 cannot touch the workpiece
when lowering it. Push the release lever 16
down and slowly lower the plunge router until
the depth stop 4 faces on the step buffer 8.
– Turn scale 2 to "0" and release the clamping
lever for depth-of-cut coarse adjustment 5 by
turning anticlockwise.
– Turn the adjustment knob for coarse adjust-
ment of depth-of-cut 7 by 0.4 mm/4 scale
marks (difference from nominal to actual val-
ue) in clockwise direction and lock the
clamping lever for depth-of-cut coarse ad-
justment 5 also by turning in clockwise direc-
tion.
– Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying
out another trial cut.

Working Advice

Protect router bits against shock and im-
pact.
Direction of Feed and Routing Process
(see figure C)
The routing process must always be carried
out against the rotation direction of the
router bit 22 (up-cutting motion). When
routing in the direction with the rotation of
the router (down-cutting), the machine can
break loose, eliminating control by the user.
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
"Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
– Place the machine with the router bit mount-
ed on the workpiece to be machined and
switch the power tool on.
– Push the release lever 16 down and slowly
lower the plunge router until the adjusted
depth-of-cut is reached. Let go of the release
lever 16 again to lock this cutting depth.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.
Bosch Power Tools
– After finishing the cutting process, guide the
plunge router upward again to the upper-
most position.
– Switch the power tool off.
Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure D)
For working large workpieces, e. g. when rout-
ing grooves, a board or wood strip can be fas-
tened to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide
alongside which the router can be guided. Guide
the router with the flattened side of the guide
plate along the auxiliary guide.
Shaping or Molding Applications
For shaping or molding applications without the
use of a parallel guide, the router bit must be
equipped with a pilot or a ball bearing.
– Guide the switched on power tool from the
side toward the workpiece until the pilot or
the ball bearing of the router bit faces
against the workpiece edge to be machined.
– Guide the power tool alongside the work-
piece edge with both hands, paying attention
that the router is positioned rectangular. Too
much pressure can damage the edge of the
workpiece.
Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure E)
Slide the parallel guide 26 with the guide rods
27 into the base plate 14 and tighten as required
with the wing bolts 10. Additionally, the parallel
guide can be adjusted lengthwise with the wing
bolts 28 and 29.
Fine adjustment of the length is possible with
the fine-adjustment knob 30 after loosening
both wing bolts 28. One revolution corresponds
with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation
mark on the fine-adjustment knob 30 changes
the setting range by 0.1 mm.
The effective contact surface of the parallel
guide can be adjusted with the edge guide 31.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform
feed and lateral pressure on the parallel guide
alongside the workpiece edge.
