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,
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).
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.

shop vacuum system, you can attach the
dust extraction hood for improved visibility,
accuracy and utility, particularly in freehand
