Adjusting the Depth-of-cut on the Non-plunge
Base (see figure H)
For adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as
follows:
– Open the clamping lever for the non-plunge
base 20.
– Coarse adjustment for the depth-of-cut can
be preset in 3 steps. For this, push the
clamping lever 26 and slide the routing motor
1 up or down in the non-plunge base 3. With
the clamping lever 26 released, ensure that
the routing motor is locked in one of the
3 coarse adjustment notches 27. Each of the
notches have a clearance of 12.7 mm.
– The adjustment knob 25 is used for fine ad-
justment of the depth-of-cut. Turning in
clockwise direction increases the depth-of-
cut and turning in anticlockwise direction de-
creases the depth-of-cut. The depth-of-cut
travel is graduated in inch and millimeter on
the scale of the adjustment knob 25. The
maximum adjustment range is 23 mm. The
scale for depth-of-cut adjustment 24 is used
for additional guidance.
Example: The required depth-of-cut shall be
10.0 mm; the test cut resulted to a depth-of-
cut of 9.5 mm.
– Set the scale of the adjustment knob 25 to
"0" without changing the setting of the ad-
justment knob 25 itself. Then set the adjust-
ment knob 25 to the value "0.5" by turning in
clockwise direction.
– Check the selected depth-of-cut by carrying
out another trial cut.

Working Advice

Direction of Feed and Routing Process
(see figure I)
The routing process must always be carried
out against the rotation direction of the
router bit 18 (up-cutting motion). When
routing in the direction with the rotation of
the router (down-cutting), the machine can
break loose, eliminating control by the user.
Bosch Power Tools
For routing with the plunge base 2, proceed as
follows:
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
"Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
– Place the machine with the router bit mount-
ed on the workpiece to be machined and
switch the power tool on.
– Push the release lever for the plunge base 21
downward and slowly lower the multifunc-
tion router until the set depth-of-cut is
reached. Let go of the release lever 21 again
in order to lock the plunging depth.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.
– After finishing the routing process, guide the
multifunction router back to the uppermost
position.
– Switch the power tool off.
For routing with the non-plunge base 3, proceed
as follows:
– Note: Take into consideration that for rout-
ing work with the non-plunge base 3, the
router bit 18 always protrudes out of the
base plate 12. Do not damage the template
or the workpiece.
– Adjust the required depth-of-cut; see Section
"Adjusting the Depth-of-cut".
– Switch the machine on and guide it to the lo-
cation subject to routing.
– Carry out the routing process applying uni-
form feed.
– Switch the power tool off. Do not place the
power tool down until the router bit has
come to a standstill.
Routing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure J)
For working large workpieces, e. g., when rout-
ing grooves, a board or straight edge can be se-
curely fastened to the workpiece as an auxiliary
guide. The multifunction router can be guided
alongside the path of this auxiliary guide. When
using the plunge base 2, guide the guide plate
(flattened side) of the multifunction router
alongside the auxiliary guide.
