Safety Instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

Work area safety

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
  • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

  • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
  • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
  • There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
  • Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
  • Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
  • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
  • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

  • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
  • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
  • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
  • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
  • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
  • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
  • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
  • Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

  • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
  • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
  • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
  • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  • Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
  • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
  • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
  • Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
  • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

  • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
  • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
  • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
  • Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
  • Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
  • Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

  • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
  • Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety instructions for planers

  • Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
  • Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
  • Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
  • Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
  • Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws. Cutters and cutter shafts could become damaged and cause increased vibration.
  • Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion.
  • Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
  • While working, always hold the planer in such a way that the planer base plate lies flat against the workpiece.
  • Otherwise the planer could slip and cause injury.
  • In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode.
  • Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
  • Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting. u The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
  • An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
  • Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer.
  • This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
  • Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
  • Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.

Noise/vibration information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841-2-14.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is: Sound pressure level 91 dB(A); sound power level 99 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.

Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-14: ah = 3.5 m/s2, K = 1.5 m/s2. The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions. The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account.This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and accessories, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Dust/Chip Extraction

  • The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
  • Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity.
  • Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
  • Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
  • Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
  • It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
  • The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace.

  • Dust can easily ignite.
  • Clean the chip ejector (3) regularly. Clean a clogged chip ejector using a suitable tool, e.g. a piece of wood, compressed air, etc.
  • Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
  • Always use an external dust extraction device or chip/dust bag to guarantee optimum suction.

Operation

Start-up

  • Setting the cutting depth
  • Using the knob (2), the cutting depth can be continuously adjusted between 0–2.6 mm with the aid of the cutting depth scale (1) (scale division = 0.1 mm).

Switching on/off

  • Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.
  • To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (4), then press and hold the on/off switch (5).
  • To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5). Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (5) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Practical advice

  • Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Parking rest

BOSCH-GHO-185-LI-Professional-Cordless-Combi-FIG-16

The parking rest (32) makes it possible to put down the power tool directly after working, without any danger of damaging the workpiece or planer blade. During the work process, the parking rest (32) is highly pivoted and the rear section of the planer base plate (11) is released.
Note: The parking rest (32) must not be removed.

Planing Procedure

  • Set the required cutting depth and position the power tool
  • with the front section of the planer base plate (11) on the workpiece.
  • Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece 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 (32) 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 (1). In doing so, the parking rest will swivel upwards and out of the way (2), 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 (3).

Chamfering edges

BOSCH-GHO-185-LI-Professional-Cordless-Combi-FIG-17 The V-grooves in the front of the planer base plate enable quick and easy chamfering of workpiece edges. Select the Vgroove that corresponds to your chamfering width. Then position the planer with the V-groove onto the edge of the workpiece and guide it along.
