Ensurethat the tool rests on the workpiece at the correct angle.Excessive pressure can damage the edge of the workpiece.Routing with Parallel Guide (see figure H)For edge-parallel cuts, mount the parallel guide 17.– Fasten the parallel guide 17 to the routing base 2 with theknurled screw 16.– Adjust the desired depth setting with wing bolt 18 on theparallel guide.– Guide the switched on power tool with uniform feed andlateral pressure on the parallel guide alongside the work-piece edge.Routing with Roller Guide (see figure I)The roller guide 19 is used for routing edges with router bitswithout pilot or ball bearing.– Fasten the roller guide to the routing base 2 with knurledscrew 16.– Guide the machine with uniform feed alongside the work-piece edge.Lateral Clearance: In order to change the amount of materialremoval, the lateral clearance between workpiece and theguide roller 22 of the roller guide 19 can be adjusted.– Loosen wing bolt 20, adjust the desired lateral clearanceby turning wing bolt 21 and tighten wing bolt 20 again.Height: Adjust the vertical alignment of the roller guide de-pending on the router bit in use and the thickness of the mate-rial to be worked.– Loosen knurled screw 16 on the roller guide, move the roll-er guide to the desired position and tighten the knurledscrew again.Mounting the Base Cover Sleeve (see figure J)Intensive use of the power tool will cause the routing base tobecome hot. In this case, a base cover sleeve (accessory) canbe mounted for protection of the hands.– Remove the clamping lever 10.– Place the base cover sleeve 23 on the routing base 2 fromabove.– Reassemble the clamping lever again in such a manner thatthe motor unit 1 is held securely in the routing base whenthe clamping lever is locked.Routing with Tilt Base (see figures K–M)The tilt base 24 is particularly suitable for flush routing of lam-inated edges at hard to reach locations, for routing special an-gles as well as for beveling edges.When beveling edges using the tilt base, the router bit must beequipped with a pilot or a ball bearing.For mounting of the tilt base, follow the work steps in section“Mounting the Routing Base” (page 16) accordingly.To achieve precise angles, the tilt base 24 is equipped withadjustment notches in steps of 7.5°. The complete adjust-ment range is 75° (45° toward the front and 30° toward therear).– Loosen both wing bolts 25.– Adjust the requested value using the scale 26 and tightenthe wing bolts 25 again.Changing the Guide Plate (see figure N)The side-handle subbase 30 can be mounted in place of theguide plate 6. It offers an additional handle 12 as well as aconnection possibility for dust extraction.– Unscrew the four pan head screws on the bottom side ofthe guide plate 6 and remove the guide plate.– Screw the side-handle subbase 30 to the base plate withthe fastening screws provided.In order to connect dust extraction, an extraction adapter 29must be mounted to the side-handle subbase 30.– Screw the extraction adapter to the guide plate with thetwo screws provided.– Connect an extraction hose (Ø 35 mm) to the mounted ex-traction adapter.– To ensure optimum dust extraction, the extraction adaptershould be cleaned regularly.When working edges, additionally use the extraction hood28.– Mount the extraction hood between the side-handle sub-base 30 and the extraction adapter 29.– Remove the extraction hood again for working smooth facesurfaces.The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle of aBosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote starting con-trol. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically when the ma-chine is switched on.The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material beingworked.When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental tohealth or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.Readjusting the Clamping Lever (see figure O)When the motor unit 1 is no longer tightly seated in the routingbase, the tensioning force of the clamping lever 10 must bereadjusted.– Open the clamping lever.– Turn nut 31 approx. 45° in clockwise direction with anopen-end spanner (size 8 mm).– Tighten the clamping lever again.– Check if the motor unit is clamped securely. Do not over-tighten the nut.OBJ_BUCH-1137-002.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 12, 2014 8:16 AM
