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.

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.

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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 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 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 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 explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
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.

Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with 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 authorised 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 a mains socket elsewhere.

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.

The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific models.

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 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 62841-2-14: ah = 7.8 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 application tools 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 application tools, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Fitting

► Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Choosing the Planer Blade
The power tool can be fitted with different planer blades. Using conversion kits (accessory) enables you to use both planer blade variants (HSS and HM/TC planer blades), depending on the basic set-up of the power tool.
Always change both planer blades replacing just one blade will create an imbalance that could cause vibrations and shorten the service life of the power tool.

Changing the HSS Planer Blades
►Take care when changing the planer blade. Do not pick up the planer blade by the cutting edges. You may be injured by the sharp cutting edges.

Removing the Planer Blades (see figures AC) 

To replace the planer blades, turn the blade head (14) until the clamping jaw (13) is parallel with the planer base plate (8).
Undo the three fastening screws (12) using the Torx key (11) and remove the clamping jaw (13).
Push the retaining clip (17) together with the planer blade (16) out of the blade head (14) and/or the guide groove (15).
Turn the blade head 180° and remove the second planer blade.

Note: Before changing or resharpening the planer blades, remove the retaining clip (17) by undoing the fastening screw (18).

Resharpening HSS Planer Blades (see figure D)
Worn or blunt HSS planer blades can be resharpened using the sharpening aid (19) (accessory) and a commercially available grinding stone. Place both planer blades in the sharpening aid and clamp them firmly with the wing bolt. Make sure that both planer blades are pushed in fully. Move the planer blades placed in the sharpening aid steadily across the grinding stone, applying light pressure.
Note: The planer blades must not be resharpened by more than 6 mm (i.e. to a minimum width of 23 mm). Both planer blades must be replaced when they reach this size.

Fitting the Planer Blades (see figures EF)
Before (re)inserting new or resharpened planer blades, clean the blade head (14) and, if necessary, the planer blade (16) and the retaining clip (17). Clean heavily gummed planer blades with spirits or petroleum.
Note: New and resharpened planer blades must always be set to the correct height before fitting.
The setting gauge (20) (accessory) is used to adjust the height of the planer blades. Place the planer blade (16) and the retaining clip (17) on the setting gauge. Make sure that the blade retainer (17) engages in the groove intended for this purpose. Press the planer blade (16) against the guide and fix the retaining clip (17) in this position with the fastening screw (18). This will automatically adjust the correct height.
The planer blade must be fitted and aligned with the centre of the planer base plate (8). Then tighten the three fastening screws (12) using the Torx key (11), following the tightening sequence (①②③) specified on the clamping jaw (13).
Note: Check that the fastening screws (12) are firmly tightened before start-up. Turn the blade head (14) by hand and ensure that the planer blades are not brushing against anything.

Changing the HM/TC Planer Blades
► Take care when changing the planer blade. Do not pick up the planer blade by the cutting edges. You may be injured by the sharp cutting edges.
Use only original Bosch HM/TC planer blades.
Hard metal (HM/TC) planer blades have two cutting edges and can be turned. If both cutting edges become blunt, the planer blades (21) need to be changed. HM/TC planer blades must not be resharpened.

Removing the Planer Blades (see figures GH) 

To turn or replace the planer blades, turn the blade head (14) until the clamping jaw (13) is parallel with the planer base plate (8).
Undo the three fastening screws (12) using the Torx key (11) (approx. 12 turns). The clamping jaw (13) does not need to be removed.
Turn the blade head slightly and use a piece of wood to push the planer blade (21) to the side and out of the blade head (14).
Turn the blade head 180° and remove the second planer blade.

Fitting the Planer Blades (see figures IJ)
The guide groove on the planer blade ensures a constant, even height setting when changing or turning the blade.
If necessary, clean the blade seat in the blade head (14) and the planer blade (21).
When fitting the planer blade, ensure that it is correctly seated in the mounting guide of the blade head (14).
The planer blade must be fitted and aligned with the centre of the planer base plate (8). Then tighten the three fastening screws (12) using the Torx key (11), following the tightening sequence (①②③) specified on the clamping jaw (13).
Note: Check that the fastening screws (12) are firmly tightened before start-up. Turn the blade head (14) by hand and ensure that the planer blades are not brushing against anything.

Use of conversion kits

Put the clamping jaw (13) on and tighten the three fastening screws (12) using the star key (11), following the tightening sequence (①②③) specified on the clamping jaw (13).

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
► Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the 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 residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.

Setting the cutting depth
Using the knob (2), the cutting depth can be continuously adjusted between 01 mm with the aid of the cutting depth scale (1) (scale division = 0.2 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, press and hold the on/off switch (5).
Press the lock-on button (4) to lock the on/off switch (5) in this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5); or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (4), briefly press the on/off switch (5) and then release it.

Switching on/off (0 601 594 037)
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off button (5), 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 throughout operation.

Practical advice
► Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Parking Rest (see figure N)
The parking rest (30) 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 (30) is raised and the rear section of the planer base plate (8) is uncovered.

Planing Procedure (see figure N)
Set the required cutting depth and position the power tool with the front section of the planer base plate (8) 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 (30) 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 (see figure O)
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.

Groove used	Dimension a(mm)
None	0–4
Small	2–6
Medium	4–9
Large	6–10

Planing with the Parallel/Angle Guide (see figures K-M)
Attach the parallel guide (22) or the angle guide (26) to the power tool with the fastening screw (25). Depending on the application, attach the rebate depth guide (29) to the power tool with the fastening screw (28).
Loosen the locking nut (24) and set the desired rebate width on the scale (23). Retighten the locking nut (24).
Set the desired rebate depth accordingly using the rebate depth guide (29).
Carry out the planing procedure several times until the desired rebate depth has been achieved. Guide the planer with sideways contact pressure.

Chamfering with angle guide

Use the angle setting (27) to set the necessary helix angle when chamfering grooves and surfaces.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

► Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
► To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.
Keep the parking rest (30) clear and clean it regularly. When the carbon brushes are worn out, the power tool switches itself off. The power tool must be sent to the aftersales service for maintenance; see the “After-Sales Service and Application Service” section for addresses.

Changing the Drive Belt (see figures PQ)
Unscrew the screw (6) completely and take off the belt cover (7). Remove the worn drive belt (31).
Before fitting a new drive belt (31), clean the two belt wheels (32) and (33). First place the new drive belt (31) onto the small drive wheel (33), and then press the drive belt (31) onto the large drive belt (32), turning it by hand.
