We do not recommend cutting material that is warped, wobbly or otherwise unstable. If this situation is unavoidable always cut the material with the concave side against the table. Cutting the material with the concave side up or away from table may cause the warped or wobbly material to roll; causing you to lose control, kickback and serious personal injury may result.
Use the adjustable fence in straight cutting applications. When routing along an entire edge of the work, the fence, fence faces, and adjustable outfeed fence support shims will help maintain stability.
When the table is used without the fence, piloted bits (or "bearing bits") must be used. Piloted bits are used when routing internal and external contours on a workpiece. The bearing of the piloted bit assists in maintaining control of the workpiece. Whenever possible, the starter pin should also be used.
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 touch the bit during or immediately after the use. Contact with a spinning bit will cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Use only Bosch replacement parts. Any others may create a hazard.
