Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety

Keep the 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 that may ignite 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 the 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, and 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. The 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. The 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 dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Bosch Power Tools

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 the battery pack 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. 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.

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.

Planer Safety Rules

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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise, there is a danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
When working, always hold the planer in such a manner that the planer base plate faces flat on the workpiece. Otherwise, the planer can become wedged and lead to injuries.
Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with an internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorized customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into the main socket elsewhere. Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Noise/Vibration Information
Sound emission values were determined according to EN 60745-2-14.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are Sound pressure level 84 dB(A); Sound power level 95 dB(A).
Uncertainty K =3 dB. Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 60745-2-14: ah=8 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2.
The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools, or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.

Assembly

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Changing the Tool
Be cautious when replacing the planer blades. Do not grasp the planer blades by the cutting edges.
Possible danger of injury due to the sharp cutting edges of the planer blades.
Use only original Bosch carbide blades (TC).
The carbide blade (TC) has 2 cutting edges and can be reversed. When both cutting edges are dull, the planer blade 13 must be replaced. The carbide blade (TC) may not be resharpened.
Disassembling the Planer Blade(s) (see figure A)
To reverse or replace the planer blade 13, rotate the blade drum 10 until it is parallel to the planer base plate 7.

Loosen the two fastening screws 12 with the Hex key 14 by approx. 1 2 turns.
If necessary, loosen the clamping element 11 by giving it a light blow with a suitable tool (e.g. a wooden wedge).
Push the planer blade 13 sidewards out of the blade drum 10 with a piece of wood.

Assembling the Planer Blade(s) (see figure B)
The guide groove of the planer blade always ensures continuous height adjustment when replacing or reversing it.
If required, clean the blade seat in the clamping element 11 and the planer blade 13.
When assembling the planer blade, ensure that it is seated properly in the blade holder of the clamping element 11. The planer blade must be assembled and aligned centered to the planer base plate 7. Afterward, tighten the 2 fastening screws 12 with the Hex key 14.
Note: Before restarting, check if the fastening screws 12 are tightened well. Rotate the blade drum 10 by hand and ensure that the planer blade does not graze.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals, and metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touching or breathing in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections in the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative).
Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable for the material.
Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
Clean the chip ejector 3 regularly. Use a suitable tool (e. g., a piece of wood, compressed air, etc.) to clean a clogged chip ejector.
Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands.
They could be injured by rotating parts. To ensure optimum extraction of dust/chips, always work with external dust extraction or a chip/dust bag.
External Dust Extraction (see figure C)
Mount the vacuum hose 15 (accessory) onto the chip ejector 3.
Connect the vacuum hose 15 to a vacuum cleaner (accessory). An overview of connecting to various vacuum cleaners can be found at the end of this manual.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
A chip/dust bag (accessory) 16 can be used for smaller jobs. Insert the sleeve of the chip/dust bag firmly into the chip ejector 3. Empty the chip/dust bag 16 at regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Choice of Chip Ejector Side (GHO 26-82 D )
With the selector lever 6, the chip ejector 3 can be switched to the right or left. Always press the selector lever 6 until it engages in the end position. The selected ejection direction is indicated by an arrow symbol on the selector lever 6.

Operation

Operating Modes
Adjusting the Planing Depth
The adjustment knob 2 enables continuously variable adjustment of the planing depth from 01.6 mm (GHO 16-82) or 02.6 mm (GHO 26-82 D) using the planing depth scale 1 (scale graduation = 0.1 mm).
Park Rest (see figure D)
The park rest 25 allows the machine to be set down directly after the operation, without the danger of damaging the working surface or the planer blade. While planing, the park rest 25 is tilted upwards thus enabling full contact of the rear part of the planer base plate 7.
Note: The park rest 25 may not be removed.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it. To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the On/Off switch 4 and then press the On/Off switch 5 and keep it pressed. To switch off the machine, 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.
Working Advice
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Planing (see figure D)
Set the required planning depth and place the front part of the planer base plate 7 against the workpiece.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
Otherwise, there is a danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams into the workpiece.
Switch the machine on and guide the machine with even feed over the surface to be planned.
To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with low feed and apply pressure on the center of the planer base plate.
When machining hard materials (e. g. hardwood) as well as when utilizing the maximum planer width, set only low planing depths and reduce planer feed, as required.
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.
The integrated park rest 25 also allows for continued planning at any given location on the workpiece after an interruption: With the park rest folded down, place the machine on the location of the workpiece where the planning is to be continued. Switch on the machine. Apply the supporting pressure onto the front part of the planer base plate and slowly push the machine forward (1). This tilts the park rest upward (2) so that the rear part of the planer base plate faces on the workpiece again. Guide the machine over the surface to be planned (3) with even feed.

Beveling Edges (see figure E)

The V-groove 8 in the front planer base plate allows quick and easy beveling of workpiece edges. For this, place the planer with the V-groove onto the edge of the workpiece and guide it along the edge.

Planing with Parallel/Beveling Guide (see figures F H)
Mount the parallel guide 17 or the beveling guide 21 on the power tool (either at the front or back) with the fastening bolt 20. Depending on the application, mount the rebating depth stop 24 on the power tool (either at the front or back) with the fastening bolt 23.
Loosen the locking nut 19 and adjust the requested rebating width on the scale 18. Tighten the locking nut 19 again.
Adjust the requested rebating depth accordingly with the rebating depth stop 24.
Carry out the planning procedure several times until the requested rebating depth is reached.
Guide the planer by applying sideward supporting pressure.
Beveling with the Beveling Guide
When beveling rebates and surfaces, adjust the required slope angle with the angle adjustment 22.
