Check the clearance from the router bit centre and guide-
bushing edge (see "Centring the Base Plate (see figure N)",
page 21).
Select a router bit with a diameter that is smaller than
u
the interior diameter of the guide bushing.
Routing Process
Switch the power tool on and move it with the guide
bushing (43) towards the template.
Push the release lever (23) backwards and slowly guide the
router down until the set routing depth has been reached.
Let go of the release lever (23) again in order to lock the
plunging depth.
Guide the power tool with the protruding guide bushing (43)
along the template using lateral pressure.
Centring the Base Plate (see figure N)
To ensure that the distance from the router bit centre to the
guide-bushing edge is uniform, the guide bushing (43) and
the guide plate (11) can be adjusted to each other, if re-
quired.
Push the release lever (23) back and guide the router as far
as it will go in the direction of the base plate (13). Let go of
the release lever (23) again in order to lock the plunging
depth.
Loosen the fastening screws (44) approx. two turns so that
the guide plate (11) is freely movable.
Insert the centring pin (45) into the tool holder as shown in
the figure. Hand-tighten the cap nut so that the centring pin
can still be moved freely.
Align the centring pin (45) and the guide bushing (43) to
each other by slightly moving the guide plate (11).
Retighten the fastening screws (44).
Remove the centring pin (45) from the tool holder.
Push the release lever (23) and guide the router to the up-
permost position.
Changing the Battery (GOF 1250 LCE) (see figure M)
Slide the battery compartment cover (22) upwards and re-
move the battery. Insert a new battery (type CR2032). The
positive pole of the battery must point forwards to the bat-
tery compartment cover (22). Insert the seal (46) and close
the battery compartment cover (22).
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
u
possible. Clean ventilation slots frequently using a
brush and install a residual current device (RCD) up-
stream. When machining metals, conductive dust can
settle inside the power tool, which can affect its protect-
ive insulation.

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
