Bosch Power Tools
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 K)
Slide the parallel guide
36
with the guide rods
37
into the base plate
12
and tighten as required
with the wing bolts
42
. Additionally, the parallel
guide can be adjusted lengthwise with the wing
bolts
38
and
39
.
Fine adjustment of the length is possible with
the fine-adjustment knob
40
after loosening
both wing bolts
38
. One revolution corresponds
with a setting range of 2.0 mm. One graduation
mark on the fine-adjustment knob
40
changes
the setting range by 0.1 mm.
The effective contact surface of the parallel
guide can be adjusted with the edge guide
41
.
Guide the switched on power tool with uniform
feed and lateral pressure on the parallel guide
alongside the workpiece edge.
Routing with the Router Compass
(see figure L)
The router compass/guide-rail adapter
43
can
be used for circular routing jobs. Mount the
router compass as shown in the figure.
Screw the centring screw
48
into the thread on
the router compass. Insert the point of the cen-
tring screw into the centre of the circular arc to
be routed, paying attention that point of the
screw engages into the workpiece surface.
Coarsely adjust the required radius by moving
the router compass and tighten the wing bolts
45
and
46
.
The length can be fine adjusted with the fine-ad-
justment knob
47
after loosening the wing bolt
46
. One revolution corresponds with a setting
range of 2.0 mm. One graduation mark on the
fine-adjustment knob
47
changes the setting
range by 0.1 mm.
Guide the switched on power tool over the
workpiece with the right handle
15
and the rout-
er compass handle
44
.
Routing with Guide Rail (see figure M)
Straight routing cuts can be carried out with
help of the guide rail
50
.
The base spacer
49
must be mounted in order to
compensate the height difference.
Mount the router compass/guide-rail adapter
43
as shown in the figure.
Fasten the guide rail
50
to the workpiece with
suitable clamping devices, e. g. screw clamps.
Place the machine with the guide-rail adapter
43
mounted onto the guide rail.
Routing with Guide Bushing (see figures N–R)
The guide bushing
54
enables template and pat-
tern routing on workpieces.
In order to use the guide bushing
54
, the guide
bushing adapter
52
must be inserted into the
guide plate
14
first.
Place the guide bushing adapter
52
from above
onto the guide plate
14
and tighten it firmly with
the 2 fastening screws
51
. Pay attention that
the release lever for the guide bushing adapter
53
is freely movable.
Choose a suitable guide bushing, depending on
the thickness of the template or the pattern. Be-
cause of the projecting height of the guide bush-
ing, the template must have a minimum thick-
ness of 8 mm.
Actuate the release lever
53
and insert the guide
bushing
54
from below into the guide bushing
adapter
52
. Ensure that the encoding keys clear-
ly engage in the grooves of the guide bushing.
f
Select a router bit with a diameter smaller
than the interior diameter of the guide
bushing.
