Trimming Tips
Your Bosch trim router is designed to trim laminates, phenolics, or other materials which have been bonded to a substrate and overhang by about 1/8" (3 mm). It is also handy for light edge forming, grooving, and sign making with 1/4" shank bits. Be sure the workpiece is se- cure, and clamp it in place if necessary. With the tool properly assembled and adjusted, be certain that the switch is in the “OFF” position, and connect to the power source. Grasp the motor housing firmly to resist starting torque, and slide switch 3 to the “ON” position. With the motor running at full speed, place the base of the trimmer on the work surface and feed the bit with a smooth steady motion into the mate- rial to be cut. The correct relationship between the direction of bit or cutter rotation and router feed is shown in Fig 18; feed in this direction or chatter will result.

Support the router on the long edge of the base whenever possible for maximum stability. At the completion of the cut, slide switch to the “OFF” position and allow the bit to come to a complete stop before setting the tool down. When using edge forming bits, it may be nec- essary to make the cut in more than one pass with progressively deeper settings to avoid overloading the motor. If the bit cuts freely and the motor does not slow down, the cutting depth is generally correct.
