FAQs
What router is this parallel guide compatible with?
This parallel guide is specifically designed for the Bosch Palm Router GKF 600 Professional.
How do I adjust the distance from the edge?
Loosen the clamp or locking screw on the parallel guide, slide the guide rod to your desired distance from the router bit, and then re-tighten the clamp securely.
What is the maximum offset distance this guide can achieve?

Can this guide be used for angled cuts?
No, this parallel guide is designed solely for making cuts precisely parallel to the workpiece edge. It cannot be used for angled or non-parallel cuts.
How should I clean the parallel guide?
Wipe the guide with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or moving parts.
What is the height of the parallel guide?

Troubleshooting
Guide feels loose on the router
Ensure the guide is fully seated in its mounting points and all locking mechanisms or screws are tightened securely. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.
Inconsistent cut depth or distance
Verify the offset is set correctly and locked in place. Ensure the guide is held firmly against the workpiece edge throughout the cut. Check that the router base is flat against the guide.
Difficulty attaching the guide
Confirm you are using the correct router model (GKF 600). Inspect both the router base and guide mounting points for any obstructions or damage.
