– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter to the Plunge Base
(see figure C)
The extraction adapter 32 can be mounted with the hose con-
nection to the front or to the rear. When the guide bushing
adapter 52 is mounted, it is possible that the guide bushing
adapter must be turned by 180° so that the extraction adapt-
er 32 does not touch the release lever 53. When mounting
with the hose connection in front, the chip shield 19 must be
removed first. Fasten the extraction adapter 32 with the
2 knurled screws 33 to the base plate 13.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter to the Non-plunge Base
(see figure D)
Fasten the extraction adapter 35 with the 2 fastening screws
34 to the base plate 13.
Connecting the Dust Extraction
Insert an extraction hose (Ø 35 mm) 31 (accessory) into the
mounted extraction adapter. Connect the extraction hose 31
to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle of a
Bosch 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 being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 32/35
must be cleaned regularly.
Mounting the Chip Shield (see figures E–F)
Insert the chip shield 19/23 into the guide from the front so
that it engages. To remove the chip shield, grasp it from the
side and pull it off toward the front.
Operation

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Preselecting the Speed
The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel
5 (also while running).
1 – 2 low speed
3 – 4 medium speed
5 – 6 high speed
2 610 021 416 | (23.11.11)
The values shown in the chart are standard values. The neces-
sary speed depends on the material and the operating condi-
tions, and can be determined by practical testing.

Particle Board

After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
Switching On and Off
Adjust the depth-of-cut before switching on or off; see Sec-
tion "Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
To start the machine, tilt the On/Off switch 6 toward the right
to the "I" position.
To switch off the machine, tilt the On/Off switch 6 toward the
left to the "0" position.
Constant Electronic Control
Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no-
load and under load, and ensures uniform working perform-
ance.
Soft Starting
The electronic soft starting feature limits the torque upon
switching on and increases the working life of the motor.

Adjusting the Depth-of-cut

The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only be carried
out when the router is switched off.
Adjusting the Depth-of-cut on the Plunge Base
(see figure G)
For coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Place the machine with the router bit mounted on the
workpiece to be machined.
– Set the fine-adjustment path to the centre position with
the sleeve 11.
– Set the turret stop 14 to the lowest setting; the turret stop
can be felt to engage.
– Loosen the wing bolt for the depth stop 10 so that the
depth stop 8 can be moved freely.
– Press the release lever for plunge action 21 down and
slowly guide the router down until the router bit 18 touch-
es the workpiece surface. Let go of release lever 21 again
to lock this plunging depth.
