Troubleshooting
Base does not attach securely to the router.
Ensure you are using the correct Bosch GKF 600 Professional Palm Router. Verify that no debris is obstructing the mounting points on both the base and the router. Realign and firmly secure the fasteners as per the GKF 600 manual.
Difficulty achieving a flush cut.
Check that the routing bit is correctly installed and of the appropriate type for flush trimming. Ensure the base is held firmly against the workpiece edge. Practice on scrap material to get a feel for the correct pressure and angle.
Inconsistent angle when routing bevels.
Confirm the tilt mechanism is locked in the desired position. Ensure the base is flat on the workpiece surface and that the router is guided smoothly. Minor adjustments may be needed based on the material's hardness.
