optional Bosch-exclusive
quick-change
templet
guide system,
which firmly
grips the guides
with a spring-loaded
ring. Unlike conventional
threaded
templet
guides, there is no threaded
ring that can come loose while routing. (Fig. 45)

CENTERING
THE SUB-BASE
OR
TEMPLET
GUIDES
Your PR011
plunge base features
the Bosch
"Precision
Centering
Design".
Its subbase
is
precisely centered
at the factory. This positions
the bit at the center
of the subbase
and
optional templet guides.
Precision centering allows you to use the edge
of the subbase
or templet
guides
to closely
follow jigs such as straight
guides,
templets,
and dovetail fixtures without worrying
about bit
walk-off
from
the intended
cut line for any
reason, including
the orientation
of the router's
handles relative to the jig.
To most
precisely
re-center
the subbase
or
templet guides,
attach the subbase
using the
optional
Bosch
RAl151
Centering
Device.
Follow steps 1-8 (Fig. 47).
1. If a templet guide is to be centered,
Install
the templet
guide
adapter
and template
guide (optional
attachments)
as described
elsewhere
in this manual.
2. Loosen
the four
screws
that
hold
the
subbase to the base.
3. Prepare the Centering
Device:
• Use narrow end of steel shaft.
• When centering subbase or templet guide
that has opening
of more than 1/2", slide
the wide
plastic
sleeve
over
the steel
shaft.
4. Slide centering
sleeve through the subbase
or templet
guide
and into collet.
Tighten
collet nut with fingers
to put slight
grip on
centering cone.
