Before using the router table, verify
that the router is securely clamped
to the router table base. While working, periodically
check the router base fastenersʼ clamping
tightness.
Router motor vibration can loosen fasteners
during use, causing the router to fall from the table.
4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 8) on page
15 and align the appropriate mounting plate holes
for your router to the router base holes. Make sure
that the depth adjustment controls on the router face
the front of the mounting plate. Figure 8 shows the
proper orientation of the plate when installed on the
table.
5. Securely mount your router to the mounting plate
(Fig. 10).

ATTACH ROUTER TO MOUNTING PLATE
(Figs. 9 and 10)
Disconnect the router from the
power supply before installing
router into the table, making adjustments, changing
accessories, removing the router from the table,
performing maintenance, or storing the tool.
Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of
unintentional tool operation.
1. Remove the plastic subbase from your router (unless
otherwise specified in Chart 1) (Fig. 9).
•
If you wish to mount the router with the subbase,
you may need to purchase longer fasteners. Using
the subbase affects the range of cutting depth.
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood that
mounts to the top of the metal router base and you
want to use it under the router table, this is a
convenient time to install it.
3. Using Chart 1, determine the hardware and mount
type for your router.
•
For most router models, the screws are driven into
threaded holes in the routerʼs base (mount type 1).
•
For some router models, the screws go all the way
through the base and are fastened with washers
and nuts (mount type 2).
•
Competitor routers are outside of BOSCHʼs
control. Changes made to these routers may affect
the compatibility to the fasteners specified and/or
supplied with this table.
•
Always make sure the screw is fully seated on
the adapter plate and that the router base is
firmly against the adapter plate to ensure secure
mounting. If the router, plate, and fasteners do not
seat together properly, you may need to purchase
new fasteners of a different length or size.
