Assembly
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Inserting a Router Bit (see figure A)
 It is recommended to wear protective gloves when in-
serting or replacing router bits.
Depending on the application, router bits are available in the
most different designs and qualities.
Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS) are suitable for
the machining of soft materials, e. g. softwood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly suitable for
hard and abrasive materials, e. g. hardwood and aluminium.
Original router bits from the extensive Bosch accessories pro-
gram are available at your specialist shop.
Only use clean router bits that are in perfect condition.
– Fold the chip shield 5 down.
– Push the spindle lock button 3 and keep it pressed. If re-
quired, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks.
– Loosen the tightening nut 25 with the open-end spanner
26 (size 19 mm) by turning in rotation direction .
– Insert the router bit into the collet. The shank of the router
bit must be immersed at least 20 mm into the collet.
– Tighten the tightening nut 25 with the open-end spanner
26 (size 19 mm) by turning in rotation direction . Re-
lease the spindle lock button 3.
– Fold the chip shield 5 up again.
 Do not insert a router bit with a diameter larger than
42 mm when the guide bushing is not mounted. Such
router bits do not fit through the base plate.
 Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a
router bit inserted. Otherwise the collet can be damaged.
Dust/Chip Extraction (see figure B)
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
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 mate-
rials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter
The extraction adapter 28 can be mounted with the hose con-
nection to the front or to the rear. When mounting with the
hose connection in front, the chip shield 5 must be removed
first. Fasten the extraction adapter 28 with the two knurled
screws 29 to the base plate 6.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 28
must be cleaned regularly.
Connecting the Dust Extraction
Insert an extraction hose (Ø 35 mm) 27 (accessory) into the
mounted extraction adapter. Connect the extraction hose 27
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.
Mounting the Chip Shield (see figure C)
Insert the chip shield 5 from the front into the guide in such a
manner that it engages. To remove the chip shield, grasp it by
the sides 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
23 (also while running).
1 – 2 low speed
3 – 4 medium speed
5 – 6 high speed
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.
