Switching On/Off; Practical Advice - Bosch Professional GHO 10-82 Manual Original

– 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
u
easily ignite.
Clean the chip ejector (3) regularly. Clean a clogged chip
ejector using a suitable tool, e.g. a piece of wood, com-
pressed air, etc.
Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with
u
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
u
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 resid-
u
ual 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 0–1 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
u
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
u
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.
Bosch Power Tools
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 work-
u
piece 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 (➊). In
doing so, the parking rest will swivel upwards and out of
the way (➋), 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 (➌).
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 V-
groove that corresponds to your chamfering width. Then po-
sition the planer with the V-groove onto the edge of the
workpiece and guide it along.

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).
