OR — To most precisely re-center the subbase, attach the sub-base using the optional Bosch centering cone, an optional Bosch templet guide, and the set of pan-head screws (included). (Pan-head screws have rounded tops.) Follow steps 1-8. FIG. 18 OTHER BASES 1. Position the sub-base so that its pan-head screw holes are over the matching set of threaded holes in the base. 2. Insert the pan-head screws, not the flathead screws, through the sub-base and tighten them until they are snug, but still allow the sub-base to move. 3. Insert templet guide (optional accessory) the installed template guide adapter as described elsewhere in this manual. 4. Slide centering cone (optional accessory) through templet guide and into collet. Use narrow end of cone when inserting into 1/4” collet, wider end of cone when inserting into 1/2” collet. 5. Tighten collet nut with fingers to put slight grip on centering cone. 6. Lightly press centering cone into templet guide to center guide and sub-base. 7. Tighten the pan-head screws. 8. Remove centering cone. The precision centering of the templet guide and sub-base is complete. !WARNING Cutter diameter must be at least 1/4” smaller than opening for the bit and cutter. BM 2610925542 07-06.qxp 7/24/06 12:06 PM Page 18 TEMPLET GUIDES The router is equipped with an exclusive quick-change templet guide adapter, which firmly grips the guides with a spring-loaded ring. To insert or change the templet guide, retract the templet guide release lever. Align the cutaways on the templet guide with the tabs on the bottom of the templet guide adapter. Insert the templet guide and release the lever to grip the templet guide in place (Fig. 19). Templet guides are used with a number of special accessories, such as hinge templets, which are listed in your BOSCH catalog. In addition, special templets are easily prepared for cutting repeated patterns, 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 (the “offset”), as the final workpiece will differ in size from the templet pattern by that amount, due to the bit position (Fig. 20). Also available as an optional accessory is an additional adapter, the RA1100, that allows use of conventional threaded templet guides with the Bosch quick-release system. TEMPLET GUIDE (optional accessory) TEMPLET GUIDE ADAPTER TEMPLET GUIDE RELEASE LEVER FIG. 19 COLLET CHUCK WORKPIECE ROUTER BIT OFFSET TEMPLET GUIDE TEMPLET PATTERN FIG. 20 ROUTER SUB-BASE ROUTER DUST COLLECTION There are three optional dust extraction hood accessories. Each dust extraction hood is sized to accept 35mm vacuum hoses. Each accessory pack includes the VAC002 adapter that will connect the hood to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses. An adapter to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also available separately. ROUTER DUST COLLECTION FOR PLUNGE BASE This dust extraction hood is designed for use the plunge base (RA1166) when routing is done in the middle of the workpiece, such as when creating slots or routing patterns for inlays. If you have a shop vacuum system, you can attach the dust extraction hood for improved visibility, accuracy and utility, particularly in freehand routing. To attach, position as shown and secure adapter to base with the thumbscrews provided (Fig. 21). FIG. 21 DUST EXTRACTION HOOD (Optional Accessory) M4 THUMB SCREWS The dust extraction hood can also be installed with the hose outlet facing the front of the tool. If the templet guide adapter is installed, it will need to be reversed or removed to allow the release lever to fit under the dust hood. -18 BM 2610925542 07-06.qxp 7/24/06 12:06 PM Page 19 DUST EXTRACTION HOOD FOR BACKSIDE OF FIXED BASE !WARNING Read and understand these instructions and tool manual for use of these accessories. Do not reach in area of the bit while the router is ON or plugged in. !CAUTION To avoid entangling hoses, do not use this dust extraction hood at the same time as any other dust extraction hood. This dust extraction hood is designed for use with Bosch routers 1617, 1617EVS, 1618, 1618EVS and their fixed bases when the routing is done in the middle of the workpiece, such as when creating slots or routing out patterns for inlays. To attach the hood to the router base, slide the hood into the backside of the router base around the router’s depth adjustment rod with the hood’s rounded corners facing up (Fig. 1 & 2). Securely tighten the two knurled thumbscrews. The dust extraction hood itself is sized to accept 35mm vacuum hoses. Also included is the VAC002 adapter that will connect the hood to 1-1/4’’ and 1-1/2’’ vacuum hoses. An adapter to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also available, (optional accessory VAC 020).
