Guide Fence
Purposes of Guide Fence
(Fig. 1, Fig. 8)
The Bosch planer Guide Fence 15 has a pro-
tective shield that covers the unused section
of the Planer Blade 18. Therefore, we rec-
ommend always attaching a Guide Fence 15
(except in situations when the planing takes
place farther in from the edge of a work-
piece than the width of the Planer Blade 18
and would interfere with the work).
A Bosch planer Guide Fence 15 can be used
to control the width of the cut, such as when
creating rabbets. (See "Setting the Desired
Planing Width" on page 14.)
The Bosch planer Guide Fence 15 also pro-
vides added stability when planing materials
that are up to 3-1/4" wide.
Positioning of Guide Fence
(Fig. 8)
For right-handed use, the Guide Fence 15
should be installed on the left side of the
tool. For left-handed use, the Guide Fence
15 should be installed on the right side of
the tool, except when using the planer to
create rabbets, which requires the Guide
Fence 15 to be installed on the left side of
the tool.

Installation of Guide Fence
(Fig. 8)
1. Place a Wing Screw 25 through the Hole
26 in the long end of the Guide Fence
Bracket 27 and screw into the Front
Mount 28 on the appropriate side of the
planer and securely tighten Wing Screw
25. (The O-Ring 29 should be on the
backside of the Guide Fence Bracket
27 and the Flat Washer 30 between the
back of the Wing Screw 25 and the front
side of the Guide Fence Bracket 27.)
2. Place the Bolt 31 through the top of
the hole on the short end of the Guide
Fence Bracket 27 and then through the
slot in the appropriate Guide Fence Arm
32. Place the Flat Washer 30 on the
bottom of the Bolt 31 below the Guide
Fence Arm 32 and then install Wing
Knob 33. If the Flat Washer 30 is not
installed, the Guide Fence 15 is likely
to slip.
3. Securely tighten Wing Knob 33.
Setting the Desired Planing Width
1. Loosen the Wing Knob 33 that hold the
Guide Fence 15 onto the Guide Bracket
27.
2. Slide the Guide Fence 15 along the
Guide Bracket 27 to the desired planing
width.
3. Securely tighten Wing Knob 33.
