Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all in-

structions. 

Failure to follow the warnings 

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-

ous 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

f

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas 

invite accidents.

f

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.

f

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a 

power tool. 

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

f

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.

f

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.

f

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric 

shock.

f

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.

f

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suitable 

for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-

able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected 

supply. 

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

f

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 op-

erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

f

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye 

protection. 

Protective equipment such as dust mask, 

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-

ries.

f

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 en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

f

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 

the power tool on. 

A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-

tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

f

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. 

This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

f

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts.

f

If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

f

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.

f

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.

f

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.

f

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.

f

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other 

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

Bosch Power Tools

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 

tools.

f

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained 

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind 

and are easier to control.

f

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-

cordance 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

f

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-

son using only identical replacement parts. 

This will en-

sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Planer Safety Rules

f

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.

f

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces on-

ly, 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.

f

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-

port 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.

f

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 explo-

sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or 

may cause an electric shock.

f

Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands. 

They could be injured by rotating parts.

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.

f

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 inju-

ries.

f

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 an

Technical Data

Noise/Vibration Information

Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.

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 a

 (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K 

determined according to EN 60745:

a

h

=8 m/s

, K=1.5 m/s

2

.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet 

has been measured in accordance with a standardised test 

given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with 

another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-

sure.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-

plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different 

applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, 

the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-

crease 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 sig-

nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-

riod.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator 

from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the 

accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns. 

Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product de-

scribed under “Technical Data” is in conformity with the fol-

lowing standards or standardization documents: EN 60745 

according to the provisions of the directives 2011/65/EU,

Assembly

f

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 

plug.

Changing the Tool

f

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 plan-

er blades.

Use only original Bosch carbide blades (TC).

The carbide blade (TC) has 2 cutting edges and can be re-

versed. When both cutting edges are dull, the planer blade 

12

must be replaced. The carbide blade (TC) may not be resharp-

ened.

Disassembling the Planer Blade(s) (see figure A)

To reverse or replace the planer blade 

12

, rotate the blade 

drum 

9

 until it is parallel to the planer base plate 

6

.

n

Loosen the two fastening screws 

11

 with the Allen key 

13

 by approx. 1 – 2 turns.

o

If necessary, loosen the clamping element 

10

 by giving it 

a light blow with a suitable tool (e.g. a wooden wedge).

p

Push the planer blade 

12

 sidewards out of the blade 

drum 

9

 with a piece of wood.

Assembling the Planer Blade(s) (see figure B)

The guide groove of the planer blade always ensures continu-

ous height adjustment when replacing or reversing it.

If required, clean the blade seat in the clamping element 

10

and the planer blade 

12

.

When assembling the planer blade, ensure that it is seated 

properly in the blade holder of the clamping element 

10

. The 

planer blade must be assembled and aligned 

centred to the 

planer base plate

6

. Afterwards tighten the 2 fastening 

screws 

11

 with the Allen key 

13

.

Note: 

Before restarting, check if the fastening screws 

11

 are 

tightened well. Rotate the blade drum 

9

 by hand and ensure 

that the planer blade does not graze.

Dust/Chip Extraction

f

Dusts 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 dusts can cause 

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of 

the user or bystanders.

Bosch Power Tools

Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered 

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials 

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-

ble 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.

f

Do not reach into the saw dust 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 

14

 (accessory) on to the saw dust 

ejector 

3

.

Connect the vacuum hose 

14

 to a vacuum cleaner (accesso-

ry). An overview for 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) 

15

 can be used for smaller jobs. 

Insert the sleeve of the chip/dust bag firmly into the chip ejec-

tor 

3

. Empty the chip/dust bag 

15

 at regulary intervals to 

maintain optimum dust collection.

Operation

Operating Modes

Adjusting the Planing Depth

With the adjustment knob 

2

, the planing depth can be adjust-

ed variably from 0–1.5 mm using the planing depth scale 

1

(scale graduation = 0.1 mm).

Park Rest (see figure D)

The park rest 

16

 allows the machine to be set down directly 

after operation, without danger of damaging the working sur-

face or the planer blade. While planing, the park rest 

16

 is tilt-

ed upwards thus enabling full contact of the rear part of the 

planer base plate 

6

.

Note: 

The park rest 

16

 may not be removed.

Starting Operation

f

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er 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 

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

Planing (see figure D)

Set the required planing depth and place the front part of the 

planer base plate 

6

 against the workpiece.

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 

16

 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 E)

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 figures F–H)

Mount the parallel guide 

17

 or beveling guide 

21

 to the ma-

chine using the corresponding fastening bolt 

20

. Depending 

on the application, mount the rebating depth stop 

24

 with fas-

tening bolt 

23

 to the machine.
