Pull the routing motor all the way out and hold it in this posi-
tion.
Press the securing latch (21) and pull the routing motor
completely out of the plunge base/non-plunge base. When
using the non-plunge base (3), additionally press clamping
lever (25).
Inserting the router bit (see figure D)
Wearing protective gloves while fitting and changing
u
router bits is recommended.
Router bits are available in a wide variety of designs and
qualities depending on the intended application.
Router bits made of high-performance high-speed steel
(HSS) are suited to machining soft materials such as soft-
wood and plastic.
Router bits with carbide tips are especially suitable for
hard and abrasive materials such as hardwood and alu-
minium.
Original router bits from the extensive range of Bosch ac-
cessories are available from your specialist dealer.
Only use undamaged and clean router bits.
Use router bits with a shank diameter of 12 mm wherever
possible.
The router bit can be changed when the routing motor is
mounted in the plunge base/non-plunge base. However, it is
recommended to change the tool with the routing motor dis-
mounted.
– Remove the routing motor from the plunge base/non-
plunge base.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button (27) (➊). If re-
quired, turn the spindle by hand until the lock engages.
Actuate the spindle lock button (27) only when at a
standstill.
– Loosen the cap nut (17) with the open-ended
spanner (28) (width across flats 24 mm) by turning it an-
ticlockwise (➋).
– Slide the router bit into the collet. The shank of the router
bit must be immersed at least 20 mm into the collet.
– Tighten the cap nut (17) with the open-ended
spanner (28) (width across flats 24 mm) by turning it
clockwise. Release the spindle lock button (27).
Do not insert a router bit with a diameter larger
u
than 50 mm when the guide bushing is not mounted.
These router bits will not fit through the base plate.
Do not, under any circumstances, tighten the collet
u
with the tightening nut until a router bit has been fit-
ted. The collet may otherwise become damaged.

Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
1 609 92A 57S | (16.04.2021)
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Fitting the dust extraction adapter on the plunge base
(see figure E)
The dust extraction adapter (30) can be fitted to the front or
the back using the hose connection.
When the guide-bushing adapter (50) is inserted, the guide-
bushing adapter may need to be rotated 180° so that the ex-
traction adapter (30) does not touch the release lever (52).
Fasten the dust extraction adapter (30) to the base
plate (13) using the two knurled screws (29).
To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction
adapter (30) must be cleaned regularly.
Fitting the dust extraction adapter on the non-plunge
base (see figure F)
The dust extraction adapter (32) can be fitted to the front or
the back using the hose connection.
When the guide-bushing adapter (50) is inserted, fasten the
extraction adapter (32) to the base plate (13) using the two
knurled screws (29). For applications without the guide-
bushing adapter (50), firstly mount the intermediate
ring (33) to the extraction adapter (32) as shown in the fig-
ure.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Attach an extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (31) (accessory) to
the fitted dust extraction adapter. Connect the dust extrac-
tion hose (31) to a dust extractor (accessory).
The power tool can be directly connected to the plug socket
of a Bosch all-purpose dust extractor with remote starter.
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.
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.
