Intended Use; For Your Safety - Bosch POF 1100 AE Bedienungsanleitung

Intended Use

The machine is intended for routing grooves,
edges, profiles and elongated holes as well as
copy routing in wood, plastic and light building
materials, while resting firmly on the workpiece.
With reduced speed and with appropriate routing
bits, non-ferrous alloys can also be machined.

For Your Safety

Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the enclosed booklet
must be observed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demonstration.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
Wear sturdy shoes.
For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable but im-
mediately pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Do not op-
erate the machine in rain or moisture.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the op-
erator.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Before putting into operation, check the routing
tool for firm seating.
Never route over metal objects such as nails or
screws.
Keep hands away from rotating router bit.
After finishing work, guide the machine back
into the upper starting position by actuating the
clamping lever and switch the machine off.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Protect tools from impact and shock.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Inserting a Router Bit
Router Bit Selection
Depending on processing and 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. soft wood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g.
hard wood and aluminium.
Use only routing tools with an allowable
speed matching at least the highest no-
load speed of the machine.
The shank diameter of the router bit
must correspond with the rated diame-
ter of the tool holder (collet).
Original router bits from the extensive Bosch ac-
cessories program are available at your specialist
shop.
