Intended Use

The machine is intended for planning of firmly supported wooden materials, such as beams and boards. It is also suitable for beveling edges and rebating.

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 connected to 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, press the safety switch against starting 7 first, then press and hold the On/Off switch 8.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 8.

For safety reasons the On/Off switch of the machine cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Adjusting the Planning Depth

The planning depth can be adjusted variably from 0 – 2.6 mm with the adjustment knob 4, using the planning depth scale 5 (scale graduation = 0.1 mm):
Rotation in counterclockwise direction = reduces the planning depth
Rotation in clockwise direction = increases the planning depth

Dust/Chip Extraction (see figure )

The dust that is produced while working can be detrimental to health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable safety measures are required.

Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and wear a dust respirator.

Clean the chip ejector 3 regularly. Use a suitable
tool (e. g. piece of wood, compressed air, etc.) to clean clogged chip ejector. Do not allow fingers to enter the chip ejector 3.

To ensure optimum extraction of dust /wood chips, attach the vacuum hose 20 or the dust / wood chip bag 19 tightly onto the chip ejector 3.

External Dust Extraction

The chip ejector 3 fits on both sides for direct connection of the Bosch vacuum hose Ø – 35 mm 20 (accessory). When using other vacuum hose systems a suitable extraction adapter may be required.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material to be worked. When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Integrated Dust Extraction

A dust/wood chip bag 19 (accessory) can be used for smaller jobs.

Empty the dust/wood chip bag regularly. Remove the dust/wood chip bag, open the zipper and empty the dust/wood chip bag.

Choice of Chip Ejector Side(Right/Left)

The chip ejector 3 can be switched to the right or left with the change lever 6.

Always press the change lever until it engages in the end position.

The selected ejector direction is marked with an arrow.

Operating Instructions

Blade Protector (see figure B )

The integrated blade protector 21 allows the machine to be set down directly after operation, without danger of damaging the working surface or the planer blade.

When planning, the blade protector 21 is tilted upwards thus enabling full contact of the rear part of the planer shoe 11.

Planning (see figure B )

Set the required planning depth and place the front part of the planer shoe 11 against the workpiece.

Caution! Danger of kickback!

Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.

Switch the machine on and guide the machine with an even feed over the surface to be planed.

To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with low feed and apply pressure on the center of the planer shoe.

When machining hard materials (e. g. hardwood) as well as when utilizing the maximum planer width, set only low planning depths and reduce planer feed, as required. Repeat the planning several times.
Excessive feed reduces the surface quality and can lead to rapid clogging of the chip ejector.
Only sharp blades achieve good cutting capacity and give the machine longer life.

Continuing interrupted planning

The integrated blade protector 21 also allows for continued planning at any given location on the workpiece after an interruption:

• With the blade protector folded down, place the machine on the location of the workpiece where the planning is to be continued.
• Switch the machine on.
• Apply the supporting pressure onto the front part of the planer shoe and slowly push the machine forwards (➊). This tilts the blade protector 21 up (➋) so that the rear part of the planer shoe 11 faces on the workpiece again.
• Guide the machine alongside the surface to be planed (➌) with an even feed.

Beveling Edges

The V-grooves 12 in the front planer shoe 11 allow quick and easy beveling of workpiece edges. Depending on required bevel width, use the corresponding V-groove.

For this, place the planer with the V-groove 12 onto the edge of the workpiece and guide along the edge.

Using the Parallel/Angle Guide  (Accessory)

Mount parallel guide 13 or angle guide 17 to the machine using fastening bolt 14 and rebating depth stop 2 using fastening bolt 1.

Loosen locking nut 15 and adjust the required rebating width with the scale 16. Retighten locking nut 15 again.

Adjust the required rebating depth accordingly with the rebating depth stop 2.

Carry out the planing procedure several times, until the required rebating depth is reached. Pay attention that the planer is guided with sideward supporting pressure.

Beveling (only angle guide 17)

When beveling rebates and surfaces, adjust the required slope angle with the angle adjustment 18.

Replacing the Planer Blade (HM/TC)

• Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

• Be cautious when replacing the planer blades: Possible danger of injury due to the sharp cutting edges of the planer blades!
  Do not grasp the planer blades by the cutting edges.

• Use only original Bosch HM/TC planer blades.

The carbide planer blade (HM/TC) has 2 cutting edges and can be reversed.
When both cutting edges are dull, the planer blade must be replaced. The HM/TC planer blade may not be resharpened.

Disassembling the Planer Blades (see figure c )

To reverse or replace the planer blade, rotate the blade head 22 until it is parallel to the planer shoe 11.

➊ Loosen the two fastening screws 24 with the Allen key 25 by approx. 1 – 2 turns.
➋ If necessary, loosen the blade-clamping element 23 by giving it a light blow with a suitable tool (e. g. a wooden wedge).
➌ Push the planer blade 26 sidewards out of the blade head with a piece of wood.

Assembling the Planer Blades (see figure D)

The guide groove of the planer blade always ensures continuous height adjustment when replacing or reversing it.

Clean the blade seat (clamping element) and the planer blade respectively, if required.

When assembling the planer blade, ensure that it is seated properly in the blade holder of the clamping element 23.

The planing blade must be assembled and aligned centrally to the planer shoe.

Afterwards tighten the fastening screws 24 again.

• Before restarting, check if the clamping screws 24 are tightened well.
• Rotate the blade head 22 by hand and ensure that the planer blade does not run into the planer shoe or housing.

Replacing the Drive Belt

• Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

Loosen screw 10 and take off the belt cover 9. Remove worn drive belt 28. (see figure E )

Before assembling a new drive belt, clean both belt pulleys 27 and 29. Place the new drive belt on the small belt pulley 29 first and then work it on the large belt pulley 27 by hand while rotating. (see figure F )

Take care that the drive belt runs exactly in the length grooves of the drive gear and the pulley. Reattach the belt cover 9 and tighten with the screw 10.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
• For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean.

Clean the blade protector 21 regularly and ensure that it runs free.

When the carbon brushes are worn out, the machine switches itself off. The machine must be sent to customer service for maintenance (for address, see the “Service and Customer Assistance” section).

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit order number given on the nameplate of the machine.
