Inserting/Replacing the Side Milling Cutter (see figures A−B)

Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery from the power tool. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Wearing protective gloves is recommended for inserting and replacing side milling cutters.

Protect the side milling cutter from shock and impact.

The power tool can be operated with the Bosch side milling cutter 3 608 641 013 (105 mm diameter) or a commercially available side milling cutter with the same or a smaller diameter (< 105 mm).

If necessary, set the angle guide (18) to 0° see Setting the Routing Angle and set the height-adjustable stop (9) to the maximum height see Setting the Height-Adjustable Stop.
Turn the power tool so that the base plate (34) faces upward.
Loosen the clamping screw (33) by approx. three turns.
Open up the base plate (34). Hold the power tool in such a way that the base plate does not fold back down.
Press and hold the spindle lock button (14).
Loosen the clamping nut (25) with the supplied two-pin spanner (24) and remove the nut.
If necessary, remove the inserted side milling cutter (26) and clean it.
If necessary, remove the inserted mounting flange (29) and clean it.
Place the mounting flange (29) on the routing spindle (30) so that the centring collar (28) (diameter 22 mm) is on the top. The mounting flange must lock into the flats of the routing spindle (anti-twist protection).
Place the clean side milling cutter (26) on the mounting flange (29) as shown in the figure, so that the direction of rotation arrow (27) is visible on the side milling cutter and matches the direction of rotation arrow on the routing spindle (31). The locating bore of the side milling cutter must lock into the centring collar (28) of the mounting flange.
Screw the clamping nut (25) onto the routing spindle (30). Using the two-hole spanner (24), firmly tighten the clamping nut while pressing the spindle lock button (14).

Check that the side milling cutter is correctly attached and can turn freely.

Close the base plate (34). Ensure that the lock washer (32) is positioned above the base plate.
Tighten the clamping screw (33).

Check that the base plate (34) is locked firmly in place.
