Bosch PR10E - Manual (Page 10)

Bosch routers are designed for speed,
accuracy and convenience in performing
cabinet work, fluting, beading, cove-cutting,
rounding edges, dovetailing, etc. They will
enable you to accomplish inlay work,
decorative edges and many types of special
routing.
SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor
is switched off.
1. Install desired router bit.
2. Place the router on the workpiece.
3. Open the clamping lever. Fig. 11(A)
4. Turn the motor about 1/4” counter-
clockwise so that the single triangle on the
base lines up with “unlocked” symbol on
the motor. Fig. 11(B) (Make sure that the
indication the base is aligned with the line
under the “unlocked” symbol on the motor.
Otherwise, the router can be damaged.)
5. Slowly lower the motor until the router bit
touches the workpiece. Fig. 11(C)
6. Note the reading on the scale (below the
clamp lever) and add the desired depth-of-
cut to this value to determine the target
scale value.
7. Lower the motor until the target scale
value is reached. Fig. 11(C)
8. Turn motor clockwise about 1/4” until
single triangle lines up with “locked”
symbol. Fig. 11(B)
9. Close the clamping lever. Always make
sure the motor is held tightly in the base.
Fig. 11(A) (The tension of the clamping
lever can be changed by re-adjusting the
nut.)
10. Check the depth-of-cut and make fine
adjustment, if necessary. (Note: the
depth of the motor and bit may shift very
slightly when the clamping lever is
close.)
11. Make a trial cut to verify that the router
is set to make the cut as desired.
FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the depth-of-cut only when the motor
is switched off.
1. Open the clamping lever. Fig. 11(A)
2. Adjust the desired depth-of-cut with the
knurled wheel on back of base. Fig. 11(D)
3. Rotate the knurled wheel clockwise to
increase the routing depth,
counterclockwise to decrease the cutting
depth. Each complete rotation of the dial
equals 1.25 mm (approximately 3/64").
4. Close the clamping lever. Fig. 11(A)
Always make sure the motor is held tightly
in the base. Re-adjusting the nut can
change the tension of the clamping lever.
(See “To Clamp Motor”, below)
5. Check the depth-of-cut and make an
additional fine adjustment, if necessary.
(Note: the depth of the motor and bit may
shift very slightly when the clamping lever
is closed.)
6. Make a trial cut to verify that the router is
set to make the cut as desired.
TO CLAMP MOTOR
When final coarse and fine adjustments have
been made, fasten the base clamp lever to
secure adjustments. (If additional clamping
force is desired: using a 8 mm wrench, rotate
clamp nut clockwise SLIGHTLY (1/8 turn or
less), then test clamp. Do not over-tighten.)
DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting at one depth and
then make several subsequent passes,
increasing the cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
