f Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Switch the machine on and guide the machine with even feed
over the surface to be planed.
To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with low feed and
apply pressure on the centre of the planer base plate.
When machining hard materials (e.g. hardwood) as well as
when utilising 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 21 also allows for continued planing
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 planing is to be contin-
ued.
– Switch on the machine.
– Apply the supporting pressure onto the front part of the
planer base plate and slowly push the machine forward
(n). This tilts the park rest upward (o) so that the rear
part of the planer base plate faces on the workpiece again.
– Guide the machine over the surface to be planed (p) with
even feed.
Beveling Edges (see figure H)
The V-grooves in the front planer base plate 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 onto the edge of the workpiece
and guide it along the edge.
Planing with Parallel/Beveling Guide (see figure I)
Mount the parallel guide 22 to the machine using the fasten-
ing bolt 2.
Carry out the planing procedure several times until the re-
quested rebating depth is reached. Guide the planer applying
sideward supporting pressure.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
f Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
f For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Ensure easy operation of the park rest 21 and clean it regular-
ly.
When the carbon brushes wear below acceptable service tol-
erances, the machine will automatically cut out. The machine
must be sent to customer service for maintenance (for ad-
dress, see the “After-sales Service and Customer Assistance”
section.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by
an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
