Bosch routers are designed for speed,
accuracy and convenience in performing
cabinet work, routing, fluting, beading, cove-
cutting, dove tails, etc. They will enable you to
accomplish inlay work, decorative edges and
many types of special carving.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
WITH FIXED BASE
Your router is equipped with a true micrometer
type fine adjustment mechanism, which can be
used in any position and provides precise
adjustment of the router bit position for
unmatched accuracy. When the tool is lowered
to the approximate position desired, this device
may be adjusted to precisely set the final bit
position.
Your router also features three horizontal
notches on both sides of the motor housing for
coarse adjustments. The notches are spaced
1/2" apart which allows you to quickly lower or
raise the tool depth in three 1/2" increments.
(Approximately 12.7 mm), by simply depressing
the coarse adjustment release lever.
TO ADJUST DEPTH
NOTE: All depth adjustments must be made
with the base clamp lever released.
1. Hold the tool in a horizontal position with the
base clamp lever facing you.
2. Open the base clamp lever to release the
motor.

3. COARSE ADJUSTMENT:
To make a large depth adjustment, depress
coarse adjustment release lever and raise or
lower to desired depth. There are three notches
in the motor housing which are spaced 1/2" to
facilitate this adjustment.
4. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:
To use the fine adjustment feature, turn the fine
adjustment knob clockwise to lower the router
bit or counter-clockwise to raise it.
NOTE: Be sure coarse adjustment lever is
engaged in one of the coarse adjustment
notches before making a fine adjustment.
To allow precise settings, the indicator ring is
graduated in English and Metric increments.
(Note: one full turn of fine adjustment knob =
1/16" or approximately 1.5 mm. The fine
adjustment mechanism has a total adjustment
range of 7/8" (23 mm). Each cast indicator mark
next to coarse adjustment lever is equal to 1/8"
To prevent damage to tool, avoid wedging the
coarse adjustment lever against the upper A or
lower B portion of the housing as shown in
figure 11.
5. After making depth adjustments, re-clamp
the motor.
The indicator ring may be reset to zero without
moving the fine adjustment knob, to allow the
user to begin the adjustment from any
reference point desired.
