Initial Operation; Switching On And Off; Motor Protection - Bosch GHO 40-82 C PROFESSIONAL Instructions D'emploi

For Your Safety
Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the enclosed booklet
must be observed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demonstration.
Wear safety glasses, protective gloves and
sturdy shoes.
Wear hearing protection.
For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable but im-
mediately pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Do not op-
erate the machine in rain or moisture.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Use only sharp planing blades.
Always hold the machine firmly when working
and ensure a secure stance.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
The planer base blate 13 must lay flat on the
surface when working.
Never plane over metal objects such as nails
or screws.
Do not allow fingers to enter the chip ejector 3.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
tool down. An exposed cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and
serious injury.

For stationary use as a surface or panel planer
with appropriate accessories:
- Pull the mains plug before mounting.
- Use the blade-shaft protector at all times.
- Work small workpieces only with a suitable
feeding device, e. g. a piece of wood.
- Use the switching device belonging to the
accessory.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.

Initial Operation

Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of
the power source must agree with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-
nected to 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, press the lock-off button 8
against starting first, then press and hold the
On/Off switch 9.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 9.
For safety reasons the On /Off switch of the
machine cannot be locked; it must remain
pressed during the entire operation.
Constant Electronic Control/
Electronic Soft Start
The integrated constant electronic control keeps
the speed almost constant, even under load. This
compensates varying planing pressure and cut-
ting depth. The electronic soft start increases
working life of motor and drive belt.

Motor Protection

A temperature-dependent motor protection de-
vice protects the machine from overheating. In
case of an overload, the speed of the machine is
reduced and will not run again at full capacity until
the motor is sufficiently cooled.
