How to use

Fit a compatible 8 mm router bit into the collet and securely tighten following the manufacturer’s instructions. Select a suitable speed up to the maximum no-load rating for the material and cutting operation, and always fix the workpiece to prevent movement. Position the router base flat on the workpiece and move the tool steadily along the cut path, keeping firm control to maintain consistent depth and quality. Change bits and depth settings with the tool switched off and the battery removed or isolated for safety.

Usage recommendations

For best results use sharp, appropriately rated bits and adjust cutting speed according to material density. Wear suitable eye and hearing protection and use dust extraction or a mask when routing to reduce wood dust exposure. Ensure batteries are compatible with the same 18 V system and follow Bosch guidance for battery handling and charging.
