ATTACHING ROUTER TO MOUNTING PLATE

1.Remove the router sub-base.

2.The router is now ready for mounting to a router table. Install router to mounting plate and router table according to the instructions provided with that accessory.

3.Attach the base to your router table using four 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" Phillips machine screws, washers and nuts. The length will depend on the thickness of your router table or router table mounting plate.

ADjUSTING THE DEPTH

2.Lift router motor to approximate desired height and lock coarse adjust lock.

3.When used in the router table, most depth-of- cut adjustments will be made with the fine adjustment knob. For easier under-table height adjustment, press the optional fine adjustment knob extension onto the end of the fine adjustment knob. (Fig. 25)

FEEDING THE WORKPIECE ON

A ROUTER TABLE

Always use your router table's fence or starter pin and the appropriate guard and follow the router table's instruction manual. ALWAYS feed the workpiece from right to left across the front of the bit. On Bosch router tables, the correct feed direction is also shown on fence housing and on the featherboards, when they have been properly installed. (Fig. 26)

Whenever possible, when using the fence, use a push stick to push the workpiece, especially when working with narrow pieces.
