Bosch routers are designed for speed,
accuracy and con venience in performing
cabinet work, fluting, beading, cove-cutting,
rounding edges, dovetailing, etc. They will
enable you to accomplish inlay work,
decorative edges and many types of special
routing.
SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor is
switched off.
1. Install desired router bit.
2. Place the router on the workpiece.
3. Open the clamping lever. Fig. 12(A)
4. Turn the motor about 1/4” counter-clockwise
so that the single triangle on the base lines
up with “unlocked” symbol on the motor. Fig.
12(B) (Make sure that the single triangle in
the base is aligned with the line under the
“unlocked” symbol on the motor. Otherwise,
the router can be damaged.)
5. Slowly lower the motor until the router bit
touches the workpiece. Fig. 12(C)
6. Note the reading on the scale (below the
clamp lever) and add the desired depth-of-
cut to this value to determine the target
scale value.
7. Lower the motor until the target scale value
is reached. Fig. 12(C)
8. Turn motor clockwise about 1/4” until single
triangle lines up with “locked” symbol. Fig.
12(B)
9. Close the clamping lever. Always make sure
the motor is held tightly in the base.
Fig. 12(A) (The tension of the clamping lever
can be changed by re-adjusting the nut.)
10. Check the depth-of-cut and make fine
adjustment if necessary. (Note: the depth
of the motor and bit may shift very slightly
when the clamping lever is closed D)
11. Make a trial cut to verify that the router is
set to make the cut as desired.
FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor is
switched off.
1. Open the clamping lever. Fig. 12(A)
2. Adjust the desired depth-of-cut with the
knurled wheel on back of base. Fig. 12(D)
3. Rotate the knurled wheel clockwise to
increase the routing depth, counterclockwise
to decrease the cutting depth. Each
complete rotation of the dial equals 1.25 mm
(approximately 3/64").
4. Close the clamping lever. Fig. 12(A) Always
make sure the motor is held tightly in the
base. Re-adjusting the nut can change the
tension of the clamping lever. (See “To
Clamp Motor”, below)
5. Check the depth-of-cut and make an
additional fine adjustment if necessary.
(Note: the depth of the motor and bit may
shift very slightly when the clamping lever is
closed.)
6. Make a trial cut to verify that the router is set
to make the cut as desired.
TO CLAMP MOTOR
When final macro and fine adjustments have
been made, fasten the base clamp lever to
secure adjustments. (If additional clamping
force is desired: using a 8 mm wrench, rotate
clamp nut clockwise SLIGHTLY (1/8 turn or
less), then test clamp. Do not over-tighten.)
DEEP CUTS
For deep cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then
make several subsequent passes, increasing
the cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
