Insert the templet guide and release the lock
lever to grip the templet guide in place.
Templet guides are used with a number of
special accessories, such as hinge templets and
dovetail
fixtures
which are listed in your
BOSCH catalog. In addition, special templets
are easily prepared for cutting repeated pat-
terns,
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 24, as the final workpiece will
differ in size from the templet pattern 27 by that
amount, due to the cutter position.

Deluxe
Router
Guide
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 sur-
face, and guide the edge of the router sub-base
along this path. It is best to keep the router in one
position as it is moved along the guide, as this
will produce
the straightest
cut.
The Bosch deluxe router guide is an accessory
that will guide
the router parallel
to a straight
edge or around
a curved
surface.
The deluxe
router
guide
is supplied
with two rods and a
series of wing
nuts and screws
to fasten the
guide
and adjust its position
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
under the router base for operations
where a limited amount
of bit exposure
is de-
sired.
The Bosch deluxe router guide includes a
fine-adjustment mechanism for extra precision,
and removable face plates for guiding the router
along straight or curved surfaces.
For proper
operation, please refer to the instructions which
are included with this accessory.
Chip
Extraction
Your router
may be fitted with optional
chip
extraction
accessories,
which are available
from
your Bosch
dealer.
Chip
extraction
is most
effective
on grooving,
dadoing,
and other flat-
surface operations
where
flying
chips can be
controlled.
It is less effective
on edge forming
or when template
guides are used as the vacuum
efficiency
is greatly
diminished
in such cir-
cumstances.
WARNING!
Use of any accessory
not speci-
fied in this manual
or the BOSCH
catalog
for
use with this tool may create a hazard.
WARNING!
Preventive
maintenance
per-
formed
by unauthorized
personnel
may result
in misplacing
of internal
wires and components
which could cause serious hazard.
We recom-
mend
that all tool service
be performed
at a
Bosch Factory Service
Center.
Tool Lubrication
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use. We recommend, that tools
with gears be regreased with a special gear
lubricant every time the brushes are changed.
Carbon Brushes
The brushes and commutator in your Bosch
tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak effi-
ciency of the motor, we recommend that every
two to six months the brushes be examined.
Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes spe-
cially designed for your tool should be used.
Bearings
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings should
be replaced at a Bosch Factory Service Center.
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy
load or very abrasive material cutting) should
be replaced at once to avoid overheating and
motor failure.
