Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and 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 by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a
fire.
A battery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of
fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the
battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like: paper

Safety Rules for Cordless Planers
Secure the material being planed. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs. Small
workpiece must be adequately secured so
that the rotating planer blades will not pick it
up during forward motion of the planer.
Unstable support can cause the blades to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Always start the plane before blade is in
contact with the workpiece and allow the
blade to come to full speed. Tool can
vibrate or chatter if blade speed is too slow
at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Check the workpiece for nails, if there are
nails, either remove or set them well
below intended finished surface. If the
planer blades strike objects like nails it may
cause the tool to kickback and serious
personal injury may result.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
After changing blades, rotate the blade
cylinder (cutter drum) to make sure
blades are not hitting any part of the
blade head housing and the blade locking
screws are tight. Spinning blades could
strike tool housing and damage tool as well
as possible injury.
Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands for maximum control.
Never pull the plane backward over the
workpiece. Loss of control may occur.
Do not put fingers or any objects into the
chip ejector or clean out chips while tool
is running. Contact with blade drum will
cause injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool if it
becomes necessary to remove chips. The
blades are hidden from view and you may
be cut if blade is contacted.
Never place the plane down until the
blade is completely at rest. Surface
contact with coasting blade drum may
cause the plane to walk out of control.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of shock or injury.

CHIP EXTRACTION
The planer comes with two chip exhaust
ports, which may be used with a chip bag or
a shop vacuum and vacuum connector (Fig.2)
to keep your work environment cleaner. The
chip bag or vacuum connector may be
attached to either end of the exhaust port.
Moving the port selector lever to position 1
(towards front of tool) discharges chips to the
left, while position 2 (towards rear of tool)
discharges chips to the right (Fig. 1)
PLANER BLADES
The planer blades are
sharp and fragile and must
be handled carefully to avoid injury to the
user or damage to the blades.
The planer blades have two cutting edges,
and may be reversed when one of the cutting
edges becomes dull or chipped.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use
resharpened used blades of any kind. Use
only blades designated for use with this
model, because other blades will cause
vibration, decrease perfomance and may not
clamp securely in blade holder.
BLADE WRENCH & STORAGE AREA
Your tool is equipped with a blade wrench
that is conveniently located in the handle
base where it is always handy and unlikely to
get lost or misplaced (Fig. 3).
REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADES
To reverse or replace the blade, loosen the
clamping screws with blade wrench. With the
screws loosened, slide the blade lengthwise
out of the cutter drum, taking care to keep
your fingers away from the sharp edges of the
blade (Fig. 4).
A piece of wood may be used for this
purpose. If the blade is gummed and difficult
to remove, you may clean the blade with
mineral spirits, lacquer thinner or alcohol.
Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new
blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade
setting and proper tool performance.
BLADE ALIGNMENT
To ensure an even cut, it is important that the
blade is adjusted so that it aligns with the
outside edge of the front and rear shoes.
This alignment can be done as follows: place
a straight edge or a piece of wood along the
outside surface of the front shoe and rear
shoe, then slide the planer blade to just
contact the straight edge or wood (Fig.5).
Make sure the blade sits correctly in the
holder groove of the cutter drum.
You may then tighten the clamping screws
which secure the blade and your planer is
ready for use.

Operating Instructions
TRIGGER "ON/OFF" SWITCH
Hold the tool with both
hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
To turn tool "ON", depress the "Lock-OFF"
button and squeeze the trigger switch. To
turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch which is spring loaded and will return
to "OFF" position automatically.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch on
and off while tool and drum are held against
a workpiece.
BRAKE
When the trigger is released it activates the
electrical brake to stop the blade quickly. This
feature is especially useful when making
repetitive cuts.
PLANING ACTION
Check that the workpiece is held in place
securely on your work surface, and standing
comfortably, hold the planer firmly with both
hands. With the planer fully adjusted, place
the front shoe on the workpiece, (be certain
that the cutter drum is not in contact with
the work) and start the planer as described
earlier. With pressure on the front shoe, and
the fence against the side of the work (to
control the width or angle,) feed the planer
steadily until the rear shoe fully engages the
workpiece. Now gradually transfer pressure
to the rear shoe, and continue planing to the
end of the cut. Feed the planer at a uniform
and reasonable rate, which does not put
excessive strain on the motor or blades, (do
not pull the planer back over the surface
already cut.) Use progressive cuts until you
are near the desired depth, and then readjust to a light cut for the final pass to
obtain a good surface finish.
The motor may stall if
improperly used or
overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed
rate) or depth of cut to prevent possible
damage to the tool if the motor labors.
!
CAUTION
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
Proper cutting depth should be determined
according to the hardness, gumminess or
moisture content of the material being cut,
as well as the feed rate, and is largely a
matter of experience. Start with a light cut
and increase the depth setting if the plane
moves freely through the workpiece with no
excessive load on the motor. Do not change
depth of cut while planing.
The cutting depth is determined by the
difference in height between the adjustable
front shoe, and the fixed rear shoe of the
planer. As the front shoe is adjusted, it
retracts and exposes the blade, which can
then remove the desired amount from the
workpiece. The cutting depth is graduated
from 0 to 1/16 of an inch, and the "0"
indicates the blade is fully retracted.
Adjusting depth of cut: Rotate depth
adjustment knob until the indicator engages
the detent which indicates the desired
cutting depth on the depth scale (Fig. 1).
The planer may be set to cut any depth from
0 to 1/16 of an inch.
STANDARD PARALLEL WIDTH
GUIDE FENCE
The width guide fence can be used to cut
various desired widths (Fig. 1).
Installing the guide fence: Place the wing
knob through the appropriate hole in the
guide bracket and screw into the housing.
Securely tighten wing knob.
Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob
and slide the fence along the guide bracket
to the desired position. Securely tighten
wing knob. Be certain that the flat washer
(supplied) is fitted between the bottom of the
guide fence and wing knob or the guide
fence is likely to slip.

allow edge chamfering (Fig. 7).
Installing the angle fence: Place the wing
knob through the appropriate hole in the
guide bracket and screw into the housing.
Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).
Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob
and using the width scale, slide the fence
along the guide bracket to the desired
position. Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).
Setting the cutting angle: Loosen round
knobs and pivot the fence to the desired
position. Securely tighten round knobs (Fig. 1).
Note that the adjustable front shoe contains
a chamfer V-groove, which will follow the
corner of a workpiece to allow easier
handling when using the deluxe angle/width
fence (Fig. 7).
RABBETING DEPTH STOP
The optional rabbeting depth stop accessory
(Fig. 1) allows the user to set any rabbeting
depth from 0 to 5/16 inch. For best results, it
is important that the blade be properly
aligned (See "BLADE ALIGNMENT"). The
width of the rabbet is controlled by the width
fence. The maximum cutting width is 3-1/4",
and the final depth is achieved by repetitive
cutting until the rabbeting depth guide
contacts the workpiece. The maximum
rabbeting depth is 5/16"
Setting the rabbet depth: Loosen wing knob
and using the depth scale on the rabbeting
depth stop, set the desired rabbet depth.
Securely tighten wing knob.
FIG. 7
DRIVE BELT
The drive belt is a normal maintenance part
and should be inspected periodically for
wear. If the drive belt shows signs of drying
out, cracking or tearing, it should be
replaced. If the drive belt will not track
properly or comes off the pulleys, it should
be replaced.
Installing new drive belt: Loosen screws and
remove the drive belt cover (Fig. 8). Cut and
remove the worn drive belt. Before installing
the new drive belt, clean both pulleys
thoroughly. First place the new drive belt
onto the drive pulley then rotate clockwise
while pushing the belt onto the driven pulley.

Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards. Before inserting battery
pack, remove protective cap from battery
pack. To insert battery, align battery and
slide battery pack into tool until it locks into
position. Do not force.
RELEASING AND INSERTING BATTERY PACK
CHARGING BATTERY PACK (1 HOUR CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove
protective cap, then insert battery pack into
charger (Fig. 10).
The charger’s green indicator will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady green light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The
light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not completely
discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool handle.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are
not in tool or charger, always place
protective cap onto end of battery pack.

1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%
of its maximum capacity with its first few
charge cycles. However, after the first few
charge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F
(41˚C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be

Maintenance
Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We recom-
mend that all tool service be performed by a
Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized
Bosch Service Station. SERVICEMEN:
Disconnect tool and/or charger from power
source before servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. Battery packs typically last
from 500 to 1000 charges. If you notice
decreased tool performance or significantly
shorter running time between charges then it
is time to replace the battery pack. Failure
to do so can cause the tool to operate
improperly or damage the charger.
Long term battery storage should be in
the discharged state. Battery packs last
longer and re-charge better when they are
stored discharged. Remember to fully recharge battery packs before using after
prolonged storage.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use. It is recommended that
tools with gears be regreased with a special
gear lubricant yearly.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six
months. Only a genuine Bosch replacement
motor specially designed for your tool should
be used.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool and/or
charger from the power supply before
cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household
detergents that contain ammonia.

4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first
recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be
restored in two or three charge/discharge
cycles. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by
plugging in some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to
a light switch which turns power “off” when
lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger
to your local Bosch Service Center. See
“Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for
names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Bosch may void the warranty.
