Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and 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 by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation xxxx eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
Before
plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet
voltage supplied is within the voltage marked
on the nameplate. Do not use “AC only”
rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter must be used to supply the power
to your tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and
footwear will further enhance your personal
safety.
Don't 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W."
These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Refer to “Recommended sizes of Extension
Cords” in the Accessory section of this
manual.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is “OFF” before plugging in.
Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch “ON” invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool “ON”.
A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
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 is unstable and may
lead to loss of
control.

Safety Rules for Routers
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application.
The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”.
Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control. Any
alteration or modification is a misuse and
may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop
a periodic maintenance schedule for your
tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool 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.
If cutting into
existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist 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
BM 2610908996 6-04 6/21/04 4:47 PM Page 3
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.
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.
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.

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. 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".
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.
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.
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 convenience 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
Your router is 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.
1. Hold the tool in a horizontal position with
the base clamp lever facing you.
2. Open the base clamp lever to release the
motor.
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 11.
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.

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 base’s own fine adjustment knob.
(Fig. 12)
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.
FIG. 12
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WITH PLUNGE BASE
PLUNGING ACTION
The plunge feature simplifies depth
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. 13). 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 workpiece.
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. 14).
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.
FIG. 13
BM 2610908996 6-04 6/21/04 4:47 PM Page 12
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.
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.

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
(Models 1618 & 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-
ON” button.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being
depressed, the trigger cannot be released.
On models 1617 & 1618 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.
CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRY
(Models 1617EVS & 1618EVS only)
The router's Constant Response™ Circuitry
monitors and adjusts power to maintain the
desired RPM for consistent performance and
control.

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 15
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. 16).

CENTERING THE SUB-BASE AND
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 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.
In the event the sub-base screws are
loosened or removed, such when preparing
the router for use in a router table, here's
how to re-center the sub-base when
reattaching it:
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.
OR — To most precisely re-center the sub-
base, attach the sub-base using the optional
Bosch centering cone, an optional Bosch
templet guide, and the set of pan-head
screws (included). (Pan-head screws have
rounded tops.) Follow steps 1-8.
1. Position the sub-base so that its pan-head
screw holes are over the matching set of
threaded holes in the base.
2. Insert the pan-head screws, not the
flathead screws, through the sub-base and
tighten them until they are snug, but still
allow the sub-base to move.
3. Insert templet guide (optional accessory)
the installed template guide adapter as
described elsewhere in this manual.
4. Slide centering cone (optional accessory)
through templet guide and into collet. Use
narrow end of cone when inserting into
1/4” collet, wider end of cone when
inserting into 1/2” collet.
5. Tighten collet nut with fingers to put slight
grip on centering cone.
6. Lightly press centering cone into templet
guide to center guide and sub-base.
7. Tighten the pan-head screws.
8. Remove centering cone. The precision
centering of the templet guide and sub-
base is complete.

TEMPLET GUIDES
The router is equipped with an exclusive
quick-change templet guide adapter, which
firmly grips the guides with a spring-loaded
ring. To insert or change the templet guide,
retract the templet guide release lever. Align
the cutaways on the templet guide with the
tabs on the bottom of the templet guide
adapter. Insert the templet guide and release
the lever to grip the templet guide in place
(Fig. 19).
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. 20).
Also available as an optional accessory is an
additional adapter, the RA1100, that allows
use of conventional threaded templet guides
with the Bosch quick-release system.

workpiece, such as when creating slots or
routing patterns for inlays. If you have a shop
vacuum system, you can attach the dust
extraction hood for improved visibility,
accuracy and utility, particularly in freehand
routing.
To attach, position as shown and secure
adapter to base with the thumbscrews
provided (Fig. 21).
The dust extraction hood can also be
installed with the hose outlet facing the front
of the tool. If the templet guide adapter is
installed, it will need to be reversed or
removed to allow the release lever to fit
under the dust hood.
