Bosch POF 1400 ACE Router Locking Lever Problem

Hello all,

I was trying to work with my router yesterday when I started experiencing problems with the router unlocking from the set depth back to full retraction. This happened a number of times despite the locking lever being locked all the way.


I checked the screw holding the lever in place and it was secure, the spring seems fine, so I don't know what the cause is or how to fix it. Many years out of warranty..

Anyone else had this problem? I hope there is an easy fix.

Thank you for your replies. I did as you suggested Hypnotoad and tried forcing the touter out of lock but it didn't seem to shift unlike before.

All the bits looked fine with no wear at all, tightening the brass piece could just be the right solution!

Fingers crossed...
