PLUGGING THE MOTOR INTO
THE OUTLET / LED LIGHTS
Whenever the motor is plugged in and
receiving power, the LEDs at bottom of the
motor light up. The LEDs enhance the visibility
of the work area when setting the depth and/or
starting location, as well as when routing. Note
that the motor cannot be turned on when not
installed in a Bosch MR-Series router base.
The motor should always be
W RNING
unplugged when it is
necessary to reach into the bit area or make
adjustments in the bit area, such as when
changing bits, templet guides and/or
centering the subbase, for examples.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE
SPEED CONTROL
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size and
material hardness for improved finish,
extended bit life, and higher performance.
Speed changes are achieved by rotating
Control Dial RIGHT to increase speed, LEFT
to decrease as indicated on housing (Fig. 1).
Speed may be changed while tool is on. The
reference numbers on the dial facilitate re-
setting control to desired speed.
The speed chart indicates the relationship
between settings and application, exact
settings are determined by operator experience
and preference. The bit manufacturer may also
have a speed recommendation.

CORD SWIVEL
The power cord features a ball-joint swivel to
provide more flexibility in positioning the power
cord. It is mounted off of center on the rear of
the tool in order to minimize the number of
situations where the cord is directly over an
intended routing line.
SOFT START FEATURE
Electronic feedback control minimizes torque
twist customary in larger routers by limiting
the speed at which motor starts.
CONSTANT RESPONSE™ CIRCUITRY
The router's Tachometer-Feedback Constant
Response™ Circuitry monitors and adjusts
power to maintain the desired RPM for
consistent performance and control.
