Read and understand these
instructions and tool manual
for use of these accessories.
CHECK SUBBASE LOCATION
For All Accessory Subbases: Make sure that
the bit and its cutter are centered in the sub-
base opening. If necessary, adjust the location
of the subbase as follows:
1. Loosen the four screws that hold the sub-
base (Fig. 1).
2. Adjust the location of the subbase as need-
ed so that the bit and its cutter are centered
in the subbase opening.
3. Tighten the four screws that hold the sub-
base.
Cutter diameter must be at
least 1/4” smaller than open-
ing for the bit and cutter.
PR007 SIdE-HANdLE SUBBASE
(Available as optional accessory)
The PR007 Side-Handle Subbase and Dust
Extraction Kit is a versatile accessory that
provides several useful features:
• Additional means of supporting the router
• Dust extraction and collection capability
Note:
This subbase is not designed for use
with templet guides. See optional PR009 and
PR010 Accessories for use of templet guides
with the palm router.
PR007 Attachment to Palm Router (Fig. 2)
1. Remove regular subbase.
2. Attach side handle subbase with the pan-
head screws that are included with it.
Additional Means of Supporting
the Router
The knob handle on the PR007 subbase
provides an additional gripping point for the
palm router / side-handle subbase assembly. It
is designed for use when the palm routers are
being used in applications that are wide
enough that the knob sits over the workpiece.
Holding the knob and keeping it pressed down
over the workpiece helps keep the routers’
angle to the workpiece unchanged, and is
especially helpful when routing edges.
Attachment of PR006 Underscribe
Attachment
The PR006 Underscribe Attachment can also
be used with the palm router and the side-han-
dle subbase.
Note:
When the underscribe attachment is
used with the side-handle subbase, the longer
set of attachment screws should be used.
Please refer to PR006 Underscribe Attachment
section for further instructions.
dust Extraction & Collection Capability
If you have a shop vacuum system, you can
connect it to the PR007’s dust extraction
attachment to remove routing dust and debris
for enhanced utility, visibility and accuracy.
The dust collection capability of PR007 can be
used in both common types of router applica-
tions:
1. Routing on flat surfaces
2. Edge-forming
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not reach in area of the
bit while the router is ON or plugged in.
To
avoid entangling hoses, do not use this dust
extraction hood at the same time as any other
dust extraction hood.
dust Extraction when Routing on
Flat Surfaces
Attach the dust port on the back end of the
subbase (figure 3):
1. Position the port on the backside of subbase.
2. Affix using two thumbscrews included.
dust Extraction when Edge-forming
Attach the dust hood and port on the back end
of the subbase (figure 4):
1. Position the hood on the backside of
subbase.
2. Position the port on the backside of hood.
3. Affix using two thumbscrews included.
Vacuum Hose Compatibility
The dust port is sized to accept 35mm vacuum
hoses. The PR007 includes the VAC002
adapter that will allow the port to be connected
to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses. An adapter
to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also
available separately.
PR009 ANd PR010 ROUNd SUBBASES &
USE OF TEMPLET GUIdE BUSHINGS
(Available as optional accessories)
Optional large round subbases are available
separately and allow various templet guide
bushings to be used with the palm routers.
Templet guide bushings are used to guide the
router to repeated make consistent openings
and inlays using various templets (also referred
to as patterns and jigs). Templets for standard
routing applications are available commercially,
such as the Bosch hinge templet kit; and
templets for specialty applications are typically
made by users for their specific needs.
The PR009 Round Subbase accepts the Bosch
RA-Series Templet Guides.*
The PR010 Round Subbase accepts threaded
templet guides.
*Note:
The RA1100 Adapter for Threaded
Templets allows use of conventional threaded
templet guides with the PR009 Round
Subbase.
PR009 Attachment of Templet Guide and
Round Subbase (Fig. 5)
1. Remove regular subbase
2. Insert templet guide into top of round sub-
base such that the anti-rotation stops in the
subbase fit into the corresponding places in
the templet guide. (When using the RA1100
adapter, first place the rubber O-ring between
the anti-rotation stops and the subbase.) Fig 6
3. Loosely attach round subbase using pan-
head screws that come with that accessory.
4. Turn motor clockwise until single triangle lines
up with “locked” symbol.
5. Center the templet guide around the bit. (The
optional Bosch RA1150 centering device can
be used to ensure that the templet guide is
properly centered.)
See
“Centering of Subbase & Templet
Guides“
Instructions.
6. Tighten the panhead screws to hold the tem-
plet guide and subbase in position.
Note:
If a templet guide seems loose, repeat
steps 2- 5 after adding the rubber O-ring.
