External dust extraction (see figure C)
An extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (19) (accessory) can be
connected to the chip ejector on either side.
Connect the dust extraction hose (19) to a dust extractor
(accessory). You will find an overview of how to connect to
various dust extractors at the end of these operating instruc-
tions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Self-generated dust extraction (see figure C)
A chip/dust bag (accessory) (20) can be used for smaller
jobs. Insert the dust bag nozzle of the chip/dust bag firmly
into the chip ejector (2). Empty the chip/dust bag (20) at
regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Selectable chip ejector
Using the changeover lever, (9) the chip ejector can be (2)
adjusted to the right or left. Push the changeover lever (9) all
the way towards the end position until it clicks into place.
The selected chip ejector direction is indicated by an arrow
symbol on the changeover lever (9).
Operation
Operating modes
Setting the cutting depth
Using the knob (1), the cutting depth can be continuously
adjusted between 0–4 mm with the aid of the cutting depth
scale (4) (scale division = 0.1 mm).
Parking Rest (see figure G)
The parking rest (28) makes it possible to put down the
power tool directly after working, without any danger of
damaging the workpiece or the planer blades. During the
work process, the parking rest (28) is raised and the rear
section of the planer base plate (10) is uncovered.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on/off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off button (6),
then press and hold the on/off switch (6).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (6) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Bosch Power Tools
Constant Electronic control
The Constant Electronic keeps the speed at no load and un-
der load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform perform-
ance.
Soft start
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and increases the service life of the mo-
tor and the drive belt.
Temperature-dependent Overload Protection
In the event of an overload, the speed is reduced. Allow the
power tool to cool down unloaded at its maximum no-load
speed for approx. 30 seconds.
Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
The service station (29) in the case can be used as a mount-
ing fixture for the planer, e.g. for changing the blade.
Do not use the service station for stationary operation
u
of the planer.
Planing Procedure (see figure G)
Set the required cutting depth and position the power tool
with the front section of the planer base plate (10) on the
workpiece.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Switch on the power tool and guide it over the surface of the
workpiece, applying uniform feed.
To achieve high-quality surfaces, apply only a low feed rate
and exert pressure on the middle of the planer base plate.
For the processing of hard materials, such as hardwood, and
also when utilising the maximum planing width, set only a
low cutting depth and reduce the planer feed as appropriate.
Excessive feed reduces the quality of the surface finish and
can lead to the chip ejector quickly becoming blocked.
Only sharp planer blades achieve good cutting performance
and make the power tool last longer.
The integrated parking rest (28) also enables a continuation
of the planing procedure following interruption at any point
on the workpiece:
– Place the power tool – with parking rest folded down –
onto the area of the workpiece that you will continue to
work on.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Shift the contact pressure onto the front of the planer
base plate and slowly slide the power tool forward (➊). In
doing so, the parking rest will swivel upwards and out of
the way (➋), meaning that the rear section of the planer
base plate is in contact with the workpiece again.
– Guide the power tool over the surface of the workpiece,
applying uniform feed (➌).
