ATTACH ROUTER TO MOUNTING PLATE
(Figs. 11 and 12)
Disconnect the router from the
power supply before installing
router into the table, making adjustments, changing
accessories, removing the router from the table,
performing maintenance, or storing the tool. Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk of
unintentional tool operation.
1. Remove the plastic subbase from your router
(unless otherwise specified in Chart 1) (Fig. 11).
If you wish to mount the router with the subbase,
you may need to purchase longer fasteners. Using
•
the subbase affects the range of cutting depth.
2. If your router has its own dust extraction hood that
mounts to the top of the metal router base and you
want to use it under the router table, this is a
convenient time to install it.
3. Using Chart 1, determine the hardware and mount
type for your router.
For most router models, the screws are driven into
threaded holes in the routerʼs base (mount type 1).
•
For some router models, the screws go all the way
through the base and are fastened with washers
•
and nuts (mount type 2).
Competitor routers are outside of BOSCHʼs control.
Changes made to these routers may affect the
•
compatibility to the fasteners specified and/or
supplied with this table.
Always make sure the screw is fully seated on
the adapter plate and that the router base is
•
firmly against the adapter plate to ensure secure
mounting. If the router, plate, and fasteners do not
seat together properly, you may need to purchase
new fasteners of a different length or size.

to the router table base. While working, periodically
check the router base fastenersʼ clamping tightness.
Router motor vibration can loosen fasteners during use,
causing the router to fall from the table.
4. Refer to the mounting plate guide (Fig. 10) on page 15
and align the appropriate mounting plate holes for your
router to the router base holes. Make sure that the
depth adjustment controls on the router face the front
of the mounting plate. Figure 10 shows the proper
orientation of the plate when installed on the table.
5. Securely mount your router to the mounting plate
(Fig. 12).
