Router Table Operation
BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, MAKE SURE THE SWITCH ON THE ROUTER IS IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE SWITCH LEVER IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
The switch power cord can now be plugged into the extension cord.
MAKE SURE THAT POWER CORDS FROM THE ROUTER, ACCESSORIES, THE SWITCH CASE, AND THE EXTENSION CORD DO NOT AND CANNOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ROUTER OR ANY MOVING PARTS OF THE ROUTER.
ROUTER AND SWITCH OPERATION
This section explains operation of the switch with the power cord plugged into the extension cord.
The router will turn ON when the toggle switch is toggled to the ON (RESET) position.
1.Position the ON/OFF switch on the router in the ON position. On certain routers this will require the use of the switch trigger and
2.To turn the router ON, lift the switch cover and toggle the switch to the ON position. See A on page 22.
3.To turn the router OFF, push on the switch cover. See B on page 22.
NEVER LEAVE THE ROUTER UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR BEFORE IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
NOTE: In the event of an overload, the internal switch circuit breaker will trip the switch to the OFF position. This will interrupt power to the router and any accessory plugged into the switch itself. If this occurs, proceed as follows:
1.Unplug the switch cord from the extension cord.
2.Remove the workpiece from the router table.
3.Correct the cause of the overload situation (i.e. the load exceeds the rated capacity of the switch).
4.Plug the switch power cord into the extension cord.
5.Restart the router as described in the section
ROUTER AND SWITCH OPERATION.
WHEN THE ROUTER TABLE IS NOT IN USE
1.Press the switch cover to turn the switch OFF.
2.Remove the lockout key.
3.Store the lockout key in a safe location where it is not available to children and other unauthorized persons.
4.Unplug the switch cord from the extension cord.
5.Remove the router bit from the router.
6.Position the router collet assembly below the top of the router table.
NOTE: If the key should become lost or damaged, replacement keys are available from your local Bosch dealer.
INSTALLING A WET/DRY VAC
INSTALLATION OF A WET/DRY VAC TO THE DUST COLLECTOR
The guard/dust collector assembly has a port for connecting a wet/dry vac hose with a 21⁄2″ nozzle. To attach, simply push the nozzle into the port while holding the fence assembly in place.
Operating the router table without a wet/dry vac can result in an excessive buildup of sawdust and wood chips under the fence assembly and overhead guard, reducing the performance of the router table and fence assembly.
RECOMMENDATION: To maximize performance, regardless of whether a wet/dry vac is being used, remove the sawdust and wood chips from under the fence assembly and overhead guard as needed.
RECOMMENDATION: It is always a good practice to keep the work area clean. As necessary, remove any accumulated sawdust and wood chips from the top of the router table, as well as from the surrounding work area and floor.
DO NOT REACH INTO THE AREA OF THE BIT WHILE THE ROUTER IS PLUGGED IN!
