To ensure that the distance from router bit cen-
tre and guide bushing edge is uniform, the guide
bushing and the guide plate can be adjusted to
each other, if required.
– When using the plunge base 2: Push the re-
lease lever for the plunge base 21 downward
and lower the multifunction router to the
stop. Let go of the release lever 21 again in
order to lock the plunging depth.
– Loosen the fastening screws 55 approx.
2 turns so that the guide plate 14 is freely
movable.
– Insert the centring pin 56 into the tool holder
as shown in the figure. Hand-tighten the
tightening nut so that the centring pin can
still be moved freely.
– Align the centring pin 56 and the guide bush-
ing 54 to each other by slightly moving the
guide plate 14.
– Tighten the fastening screws 55 again.
– Remove the centring pin 56 from the tool
holder.
– When using the plunge base 2: Push the re-
lease lever for the plunge base 21 and raise
the multifunction router back to the upper-
most position.
For routing with the guide bushing 54 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.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the
guide bushing toward the template.
– When using the plunge base 2: Push the re-
lease lever for the plunge base 21 downward
and slowly lower the multifunction router un-
til the set depth-of-cut is reached. Let go of
the release lever 21 again in order to lock the
plunging depth.
– Guide the switched on power tool with the
protruding guide bushing alongside the tem-
plate applying lateral pressure.

Operation with Router Table (see figure S)
The non-plunge base 3 can be used with a suita-
ble router table. To install the router, remove
the guide plate 14 and fasten the non-plunge
base 3 to the router table with the fastening
screws 58.
For mounting of the non-plunge base,
please observe the operating instructions
of your router table. If necessary, matching
holes must be drilled into the router table in
order to mount the non-plunge base.
For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, it is
best to use the extension 59 or the specialty Al-
len key 57.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
In extreme working conditions, conductive
dust can accumulate in the interior of the
machine when working with metal. The pro-
tective insulation of the machine can be de-
graded. The use of a stationary extraction
system is recommended in such cases as
well as frequently blowing out the ventila-
tion slots and installing a residual current
device (RCD).
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
