Starting Operation - Bosch POF 1200 AE Originalbetriebsanleitung

18 | English
This dust extractor is started up automatically when the
power tool is switched on.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust ex-
tractor.
Fitting the chip protection (see figure C)
Push the chip protection (5) into the guide from the front so
that it clicks into place. To remove it, hold the sides of the
chip protection and pull it forwards.
Operation

Starting Operation

Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Preselecting the speed
You can preselect the required speed using the speed
preselection thumbwheel (23), even during operation.
1−2 low speed
3−4 medium speed
5−6 high speed
The values shown in the table are guide values. The required
speed depends on the material and the working conditions;
it can be ascertained through practical tests.

Switching On and Off
Set the routing depth before switching on/off, see section
(see "Setting the routing depth (see figure D)", page 18).
To switch on the power tool, first press the lock-off but-
ton (1), then press and hold the on/off switch (22).

To switch off, release the on/off switch (22).
POF 1400 ACE: The lamp gradually goes out.
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (22) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed throughout operation.
Constant Electronic (POF 1400 ACE)
The Constant Electronic keeps the speed at no load and un-
der load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform perform-
ance.
Setting the routing depth (see figure D)
The routing depth must only be set while the power tool is
switched off.
To set the rough routing depth, proceed as follows:
– Place the power tool with a fitted router bit onto the work-
piece you want to machine.
– POF 1400 ACE: Set the fine adjustment path to the
centre position using the knob (18). To do this, turn the
knob (18) until the markings (19) match those shown in
the figure. Then turn the scale (17) to 0.
(19)
– Set the step buffer (9) to the lowest step; the step buffer
clicks audibly into place.
– POF 1200 AE: Turn the adjusting screws for the step buf-
fer (24) until it is halfway in/out.
– Loosen the wing bolt on the depth stop (11) so that the
depth stop (13) can move freely.
– Push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➊ and slowly move the router
down until the router bit (21) is touching the surface of
the workpiece. Release the clamping lever for locking the
routing depth (16) again to lock this depth. If necessary,
push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➋ to fully lock it.
– Press the depth stop (13) down until it is resting on the
step buffer (9). Set the slide with the index mark (12) to
position 0 on the routing depth scale (14).
– Set the depth stop (13) to the required routing depth and
tighten the wing bolt on the depth stop (11). Take care
not to accidentally move the index mark (12).
– Push the clamping lever for locking the routing
depth (16) in direction ➊ and move the router to the
highest position.
For larger routing depths, you should perform the cut in sev-
eral phases, so that only a small amount of material is re-
moved after each cut. You can use the step buffer (9) to di-
vide the routing process into multiple steps. To do this, set
the required routing depth with the smallest step of the step
