The collet 

13

 must have a slight amount of play when seated 

in the tightening nut. The tightening nut 

5

 must assemble eas-

ily. Should the tightening nut or collet be damaged, replace 
immediately.

– Push the spindle lock button 

9

 and keep it pressed. If re-

quired, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks.

– Unscrew the tightening nut 

5

 with open-end spanner 

15

turning in anticlockwise direction.

– Release the spindle lock button.
– If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior to assem-

bling, using a soft brush or by blowing out with com-
pressed air.

– Start the new tightening nut on tool holder 

14

.

– Hand-tighten the tightening nut.



Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a 
router bit inserted. 

Otherwise the collet can be damaged.

Inserting a Router Bit (see figures C – D)

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.

– Push the spindle lock button 

9

 and keep it pressed. If re-

quired, rotate the motor spindle by hand until it locks.

– Loosen the tightening nut 

5

 with the open-end spanner by 

turning in anticlockwise direction 

15

.

– Insert the router bit into the collet. The shank of the router 

bit must be immersed at least 20 mm into the collet.

– Retighten the tightening nut by turning in clockwise direc-

tion.

– Release the spindle lock button.



Do not tighten the tightening nut of the collet without a 
router bit inserted. 

Otherwise the collet can be damaged.

Mounting the Routing Base (see figure E)

For routing, the routing base 

2

 must be mounted on the motor 

unit 

1

 again.

– Release clamping lever 

10

, if tightened.

– Bring the two double arrows on the motor unit and the 

routing base 

2

 into alignment.

– Push the motor unit into the routing base and turn the mo-

tor unit in clockwise direction until the 

 mark points 

against the 

 symbol.

– Push the motor unit further into the routing base.
– After mounting is completed, turn the 

 mark on the rout-

ing base to the 

 symbol on the motor unit.

– Lock the clamping lever.



After mounting, always check if the motor unit is seat-
ed tightly in the routing base.

If required, change the pre-tension of the clamping lever 

10

(see “Readjusting the Clamping Lever”, page 17).

Dust/Chip Extraction



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.

Operation

Adjusting the Depth-of-cut (see figure F)



The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only be carried 
out when the router is switched off.

For coarse adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as fol-
lows:

– Place the machine with the router bit mounted on the 

workpiece to be machined.

– Release clamping lever 

10

, if tightened.

– Turn the routing base 

2

 so that the 

 mark points against 

the 

 symbol and slowly lower the motor unit until the 

router bit touches the workpiece.

– Lock  the  clamping  lever.
– Read the measuring value off the scale 

8

 and note it down 

(zeroing). Add the desired depth-of-cut to this value.

– Open the clamping lever and adjust the motor unit to the 

calculated scale value.

– Turn the routing base so that the 

 mark points against 

the 

 symbol and lock the clamping lever again.

– Check the adjusted depth-of-cut with a trial cut and correct 

it, if necessary.

For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, proceed as follows:

– With  the  clamping  lever 

10

 open, turn the routing base so 

that the 

 mark points against the 

 symbol.

– Adjust the desired depth-of-cut with thumbwheel 

3

.

– Lock  the  clamping  lever.

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.

Switching On and Off

To 

start

 the machine, set the On/Off switch 

11

 to 

I

.

To 

switch off

 the machine, set the On/Off switch 

11

 to 

0

.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
