INSTALLING A PLANER BLADE
(FIG. 3)
1. Disconnect the plug from power source.
2. Place the planer upside down on a at
surface.
3. Clean all surfaces before reinstalling
the new blade, as this will ensure an
accurate blade setting and proper tool
performance.
4. Slide a new, sharp blade into the blade
holder of the clamping element (FIG. 3).
The blade groove must engage with the
blade holder.
5. Tighten the three clamping screws
again with the wrench (provided).
FIG. 3
NOTICE: The included planer blades have
two cutting edges and may be reversed
when one side becomes dull. When both
cutting edges are dull, the planer blade
must be replaced. The planer blades may
not be re-sharpened. Do not attempt to
sharpen or use re-sharpened blades of
any kind.
NOTICE: Use only blades designated
for use with this model, because other
blades will cause vibration, decrease
performance and may not clamp securely
in the blade holder.
Compatible with Bosch PA1202 planer
blade.
CAUTION:
When installing blades,
rst clean out all chips and/or foreign
matter adhering to the blade drum and
the clamping element. Use blades of the
same dimensions and weight, or else the
drum will oscillate and vibrate, causing
poor planing action and tool breakdown.
Tighten the clamping screws carefully
when attaching the blades to the planer. A
loose clamping screw could be extremely
dangerous. Regularly check and ensure
that the clamping screws are securely
tightened.
NOTICE: Your planing surface will end
up rough and uneven unless the blades
are set properly and securely. The blades
must be mounted so that the cutting edge
is absolutely level relative to the surface
of the front and rear base.
ADJUSTING THE EDGE GUIDE
(FIG. 4-5)
1. To attach the edge guide, remove the
edge-guide attachment knob and slide
the edge guide into the planer.
2. Replace the edge-guide attachment
knob and rmly tighten it (FIG. 4).
3. Loosen the locking nut and slide the
edge guide to the desired position.
Securely tighten the locking nut (FIG. 5).
