Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
2610051825.qxp_1617 5/24/18 12:53 PM Page 2
Safety Rules for Routers
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a ”live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool ”live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is
free from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.
Always hold the tool with two hands
during start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates to
the direction of bit rotation. When viewing
the tool from the top, the bit rotates
clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counter-clockwise. NOTE: inside and
outside cuts will require different feed
direction, refer to section on feeding the
router. Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit
to climb out of the work and pull the tool in
the direction of this feed.
-3-
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
2610051825.qxp_1617 5/24/18 12:53 PM Page 3
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly causing
the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill. The
spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the
tool out of your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting
diameter greater than the opening in the
base.
The rated speed of the accessory must be
at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their RATED SPEED can
break and fly apart.
-4-
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

Read and understand the tool manual and
these instructions for the use of this table
with your router. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in serious
personal injury.
Unplug tool before setting up in table,
making adjustments or changing bits.
Accidental start-up of the tool can cause
injury.
Fully assemble and tighten all the
fasteners required for this table and
mounting the router. Also remember to
occasionally check the stand and make sure
it is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and
may shift in use and cause serious injury.
Before operating make sure the entire
unit is placed on a solid, flat, level
surface. Serious injury could occur if tool is
unstable and tips.
Never stand on the table or use as ladder
or scaffolding. Serious injury could occur if
the table is tipped or the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted. Do not store
materials on or near the table such that it is
necessary to stand on the table or its stand
to reach them.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the workpiece, possibly
causing the bit to break.
Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that
have a cutting diameter that exceeds the
capacity of the tool. Overloading the tool
can lead to personal injury or tool failure.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the workpiece.
Router bits are intended for wood, wood
products and plastic only. Be sure the
workpiece does not contain nails, etc.
before routing. Cutting a nail or the like will
cause the carbides to be dislodged, fly
toward the operator side, and possibly strike
you or bystanders.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation of
the bit. The bit rotates counter-clockwise
as viewed from the top of table. Feeding
the work in the wrong direction will cause the
workpiece to "climb" up on the bit and may
lead to loss of control during operation.
Never place hands near the spinning bit.
Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally
mounted feather boards (spring sticks)
and other jigs to hold down the workpiece
and keep your hands away from the
spinning bit. Router cuts are blind cuts but
the bit still protrudes through the table and
you must be aware of the position of your
hands relative to the spinning bit.
We do not recommend cutting material
that is warped, wobbly or otherwise
unstable. If this situation is unavoidable
always cut the material with the concave
side against the table. Cutting the material
with the concave side up or away from table
may cause the warped or wobbly material to
roll; causing you to lose control, kickback and
serious personal injury may result.
Use the adjustable fence in straight
cutting applications. When routing along
an entire edge of the work, the fence, fence
faces, and adjustable outfeed fence support
shims will help maintain stability.
When the table is used without the fence,
piloted bits (or "bearing bits") must be
used. Piloted bits are used when routing
internal and external contours on a
workpiece. The bearing of the piloted bit
assists in maintaining control of the
workpiece. Whenever possible, the starter
pin should also be used.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. Contact with a spinning bit
will cause injury and after use the bit is too
hot to be touched by bare hands.
Use only Bosch replacement parts. Any
others may create a hazard.

Assembly
A wide assortment of router bits with different
profiles is available separately. Use 1/2"
shank whenever possible, and only use good
quality bits.
To prevent personal injury,
always remove the plug
from power source before removing or
installing bits or accessories.
INSTALLING A ROUTER BIT
Place router upside down or lay router on its
side with the base resting on the bench.
Another option is to remove the motor from
the base before installing the bit.
1. Remove the chip shield (or flip up if plunge
base is attached.
2. Hold the armature shaft in place with the
shaft wrench (Fig. 4)
3. Next, use the collet wrench to loosen the
collet chuck assembly in counter-
clockwise direction (viewed from under the
router).
4. Once you have verified that the bit's shank
is of the proper diameter for the collet to
be used, insert the shank of the router bit
into the collet chuck assembly as far as it
will go, then back the shank out until the
cutters are approximately 1/8" to 1/4" away
from the collet nut face.
5. With the router bit inserted and the shaft
wrench holding the armature shaft, use the
collet wrench to firmly tighten the collet
chuck assembly in a clockwise direction
(viewed from under the router). To ensure
proper gripping of the router bit and
minimize run-out, the shank of the router
bit must be inserted at least 5/8".
To tighten or loosen collet nut, hold both
wrenches in one hand and and squeeze
the wrenches together.
When the templet guide
has been removed from
base, do not use router bits greater than
2" in diameter as they will not fit through
the sub-base.
Cutter diameter must be at
least 1/4 smaller than
opening for the bit and cutter.
To prevent damage to
tool, do not tighten collet
without a bit.
NOTE: The bit shank and chuck should be
clean and free of dust, wood, residue and
grease before assembling.
REMOVING THE ROUTER BIT
1. Use the shaft and collet chuck wrenches
as described earlier, and turn the collet
chuck assembly in a counter-clockwise
direction.
2. Once the collet chuck assembly is
loosened continue to turn the collet chuck
assembly until it pulls the collet free from
its taper, and the router bit can be
removed.
NOTE: The collet chuck is self-extracting; it
is NOT necessary to strike the collet chuck to
free the router bit.
!
WARNING
COLLET CHUCK CARE
With the router bit removed, continue to turn
the collet chuck counter-clockwise until it is
free of the shaft. To assure a firm grip,
occasionally blow out the collet chuck with
compressed air, and clean the taper in the
armature assembly shaft with a tissue or fine
brush. The collet chuck is made up of two
component parts as illustrated (Fig. 5); check
to see that the collet is properly seated in the
collet chuck nut and lightly thread the collet
chuck back onto the armature shaft. Replace
worn or damaged collet chucks immediately.

Bosch routers are designed for speed,
accuracy and con venience in performing
cabinet work, routing, fluting, beading, cove-
cutting, dove tails, etc. They will enable you to
accomplish inlay work, decorative edges and
many types of special carving.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
WITH FIXED BASE
Router’s RA1161 fixed base are equipped with
a true micrometer type fine adjustment
mechanism, which can be used in any position
and provides precise adjustment of the router
bit position for unmatched accuracy. When the
tool is lowered to the approximate position
desired, this device may be adjusted to
precisely set the final bit position.
Your router also features three horizontal
notches on both sides of the motor housing for
coarse adjustments. The notches are spaced
1/2" apart which allows you to quickly lower or
raise the tool depth in three 1/2" increments.
(Approximately 12.7 mm), by simply
depressing the coarse adjustment release
lever.
TO ADJUST DEPTH
NOTE: All depth adjustments must be made
with the base clamp lever released.

3. COARSE ADJUSTMENT:
To make a large depth adjustment, depress
coarse adjustment release lever and raise or
lower to desired depth. There are three
notches in the motor housing which are
spaced 1/2" to facilitate this adjustment.
4. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:
To use the fine adjustment feature, turn the
fine adjustment knob clockwise to lower the
router bit or counter-clockwise to raise it.
NOTE: Be sure coarse adjustment lever is
engaged in one of the coarse adjustment
notches before making a fine adjustment.
To allow precise settings, the indicator ring is
graduated in English and Metric increments.
(Note: one full turn of fine adjustment knob =
1/16" or approximately 1.5 mm. The fine
adjustment mechanism has a total adjustment
range of 7/8" (23 mm). Each cast indicator
mark next to coarse adjustment lever is equal
to 1/8"
To prevent damage to tool, avoid wedging the
coarse adjustment lever against the upper A or
lower B portion of the housing as shown in
figure 10.
5. After making depth adjustments, re-clamp
the motor.
The indicator ring may be reset to zero without
moving the fine adjustment knob, to allow the
user to begin the adjustment from any
reference point desired.
When the router is installed in a router table,
it can be adjusted with a 1/8” hex wrench, not
included with all models. (See page 21).
The RA1002 Fine Adjustment Control
Extension, an optional accessory for the non-
plunge bases, allows fine adjustment from
beyond the top of the motor housing. To
install, simply press the RA1002 into the end
of the bases own fine adjustment knob.
(Fig. 11)
TO CLAMP MOTOR
When final coarse and fine adjustments have
been made, fasten the base clamp lever to
secure adjustments. (If additional clamping
force is desired: using a 10 mm wrench,
rotate clamp nut clockwise SLIGHTLY (1/8
turn or less), then test clamp. Do not over-
tighten.)
DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting at one depth and
then make several subsequent passes,
increasing the cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.

adjustments and will allow the cutting bit to
easily and accurately enter the workpiece. To
lower, push plunge lock lever to the left, apply
downward pressure until you reach desired
depth, and release pressure on lever to lock
(Fig. 12). The plunge lock lever is spring
loaded and returns automatically to the locked
position. To raise the router, push plunge lock
lever to the left, release pressure on router and
the router will automatically retract the bit from
the workpiece. It is advisable to retract the bit
whenever it is not engaged in work piece.

DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting with the highest step on
the depth turret, and after each cut, rotate the
depth turret to progressively lower steps as
desired, until the final depth (lowest step or flat)
is reached. Steps progress by 1/8” increments.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
FINE ADJUSTMENT
The RA1166 plunge base is equipped with a
fine adjustment system that allows you to
micro adjust the plunge depth of the router bit
for superior routing accuracy.
Each complete revolution of the fine
adjustment stop adjusts the plunging depth by
1/32”, and each of the four indicator marks on
the knob represents 1/128”. One of the four
tick marks is larger than the other to indicate a
complete revolution. A reference indicator line
is built in to the depth rod.
To use the fine adjustment knob, once the
depth rod and turret have been set, check the
final depth setting and fine-adjust as follows:
To micro-increase the plunge depth, raise the
fine adjustment stop by turning it counter-
clockwise by the desired amount.
To micro-reduce the plunge depth, lower the
fine adjustment stop by turning it clockwise by
the desired amount.

DEPTH ROD AND TURRET
The depth rod and the depth stop turret are
used to control cutting depth as follows;
1. With the bit installed, gently lower the motor
until the tip of the router bit just contacts the
level surface the router is sitting on. This is
the “zero” position, from which further depth
adjustments can be accurately made.
2. To set a desired depth of cut, rotate depth
stop turret until the lowest step is aligned
with the depth rod. Loosen depth indicator
knob and lower the depth rod until it
contacts the lowest step of the turret. Slide
the depth indicator until the red line indicates
zero on the depth scale, indicating the point
at which the bit just contacts the work
(Fig. 13).
3. To set a desired cutting depth, slide the
depth rod up until the red depth indicator line
attains the desired cutting depth, and secure
the rod in position by firmly tightening the
depth indicator knob.
4. The desired depth of cut may now be
achieved by plunging the router until the
depth rod contacts the selected stop on the
turret.

Notes:
When micro-adjusting the plunge depth, it is
more convenient to move the fine
adjustment stop up than down. Before
setting the depth rod and turret, make sure
the fine adjustment stop has been turned
several revolutions down from its top
position so that it can be adjusted upward.
The fine adjustment stop cannot be use to
reduce the plunge depth when the depth rod
is already touching the depth stop turret.
The router must be raised before such an
adjustment can be made.
Also available is an alternative turret that
has an adjustable step which uses an M4
screw for the adjustable step. The
adjustable step makes it possible to make
multiple-pass applications without having to
make a fine depth adjustment even when
the total cutting depth is not a multiple of
1/8".
ROCKER “ON/OFF” SWITCH
Your tool can be turned “ON” or “OFF” by the
rocker switch located on the motor housing.
One side of the switch is marked “I” for “ON“,
and the other side of switch is marked “O” for
“OFF“. Also the edge of switch displays red
when switch is in the “ON“ position.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON”: Push the side of
the switch marked “I”.
TO TURN THE TOOL “OFF”: Push the side
of the switch marked “O”.
Always hold the router off the work when
turning the switch on or off. Contact the work
with the router after the router has reached full
speed, and remove it from the work before
turning the switch off. Operating in this manner
will prolong switch and motor life and will
greatly increase the quality of your work (Fig. 1).
ROCKER POWER "ON-OFF" WITH
TRIGGER SWITCH AND "LOCK-
ON"BUTTON
(Model 1618EVS only)
The power is switched "ON" by the rocker
switch located on the top of the motor housing
as described above. Now your tool can be
turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or
releasing the trigger. Your tool is also equipped
with “Lock-ON” button located just above the
trigger that allows continuous operation without
holding the trigger (Fig. 2).
TO LOCK SWITCH ON: Squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH: Squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the “Lock-
ONbutton.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being
depressed, the trigger cannot be released.
On model 1617 hold the tool with both hands
while starting the tool, since torque from the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
SOFT START FEATURE
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
Electronic feedback control minimizes torque
twist customary in larger routers by limiting the
speed at which motor starts.
ELECTRONIC VARIABLE
SPEED CONTROL
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size and
material hardness for improved finish,
extended bit life, and higher performance.
Speed changes are achieved by rotating
Control Dial RIGHT to increase speed, LEFT
to decrease as indicated on housing (Fig. 1).
Speed may be changed while tool is on. The
reference numbers on the dial facilitate re-
setting control to desired speed.
The speed chart indicates the relationship
between settings and application, exact settings
are determined by operator experience and
preference. The bit manufacturer may also
have a speed recommendation.

FEEDING THE ROUTER
As seen from the top of the router, the bit turns
clockwise and the cutting edges face
accordingly. Therefore, the most efficient cut is
made by feeding the router so that the bit turns
into the work, not away. Figure 14 shows
proper feed for various cuts. How fast you feed
depends on the hardness of the material and
the size of the cut. For some materials, it is
best to make several cuts of increasing depth.
If the router is hard to control, heats up, runs
very slowly or leaves an imperfect cut,
consider these causes:
1. Wrong direction of feed — hard to control.
2. Feeding too fast — overloads motor.
3. Dull bit — overloads motor.
4. Cut is too large for one pass overloads
motor.
5. Feeding too slow — leaves friction burns on
work.
Feed smoothly and steadily (do not force). You
will soon learn how the router sounds and feels
when it is working best.
RATE OF FEED
When routing or doing related work in wood
and plastics, the best finishes will result if the
depth of cut and feed rate are regulated to
keep the motor operating at high speed. Feed
the router at a moderate rate. Soft materials
require a faster feed rate than hard materials.
The router may stall if improperly used or
overloaded. Reduce the feed rate to prevent
possible damage to the tool. Always be sure
the collet chuck is tightened securely before
use. Always use router bits with the shortest
cutting length necessary to produce the
desired cut. This will minimize router bit run-out
and chatter.
GUIDING THE ROUTER
The router can be guided through the work in
any of several ways. The method you use
depends, of course, on the demands of the
particular job and on convenience.
For routing operations such as grooving or
dadoing, it is often necessary to guide the tool
in a line parallel to a straight edge. One
method of obtaining a straight cut is to securely
clamp a board or other straightedge to the
work surface, and guide the edge of the router
sub-base along this path (Fig. 15).

DELUXE ROUTER GUIDE
(Not included, available as accessory)
The Bosch deluxe router guide is an optional
accessory that will guide the router parallel to a
straight edge or allow you to create circles and
arcs.
The deluxe router guide is supplied with two
rods and screws to fasten the guide (Fig. 22).
In addition, it features a fine adjustment knob
and indicator for accurately positioning the
edge guide relative to the bit. With the guide
installed and adjusted, the router should be fed
normally, keeping the guide in contact with the
edge of the workpiece at all times. The deluxe
router guide may also be positioned directly
under the router base for operations where a
cut is needed close to or at the edge of the work.
The deluxe router guide includes a dust
extraction hood and the VAC002 vacuum hose
adapter.

TEMPLET GUIDES
This router can also be used with the optional
Bosch-exclusive quick-change templet guide
system, which firmly grips the guides with a
spring-loaded ring. Unlike conventional
threaded templet guides, there is no threaded
ring that can come loose while routing.
Templet guides are used with a number of
special accessories, such as hinge templets,
which are listed in your BOSCH catalog. In
addition, special templets are easily prepared
for cutting repeated patterns, special
designs, inlays, and other applications. A
templet pattern may be made of plywood,
hardboard, metal or even plastic, and the
design can be cut with a router, jigsaw, or
other suitable cutting tool. Remember that
the pattern will have to be made to
compensate for the distance between the
router bit and the templet guide (the “offset”),
as the final workpiece will differ in size from
the templet pattern by that amount, due to
the bit position (Fig. 24).

CENTERING THE SUB-BASE OR
TEMPLET GUIDES
Your router features the Bosch Precision
Centering Design”. Its sub-base is precisely
centered at the factory. This positions the bit at
the center of the sub-base and optional
templet guides.
Precision centering allows you to use the edge
of the subbase or templet guides to closely
follow jigs such as straight guides, templets,
and dovetail fixtures without worrying about bit
walk-off from the intended cut line for any
reason, including the orientation of the router’s
handles relative to the jig.
To quickly re-center the sub-base, attach the
sub-base using the set of flathead screws
(included) and the countersunk screw holes in
the sub-base. (Flathead screws have the
tapered heads.) The flathead screws and
countersunk holes will pull the sub-base into a
position that is very close to centered.
To most precisely re-center the sub-base or
templet guides, attach the sub-base using the
optional Bosch RA1151 Centering Device.
Follow steps 1-8 (Fig. 26 & 27).
1. If a templet guide is to be centered, Install
the templet guide adapter and template
guide (optional attachments) as described
elsewhere in this manual.
2. Position the sub-base so that its pan-head
screw holes are over the matching set of
threaded holes in the base.
3. Insert the pan-head screws through the sub-
base and tighten them until they are snug,
but still allow the sub-base to move.
