GUIDE FENCES
Purposes of Guide Fences
The Bosch planer guide fences all have a
protective shield that covers the unused
section of the blade. Therefore, we
recommend always attaching a planer guide
fence (except in situations when the planing
takes place farther in from the edge of a
workpiece than the width of the planer blade
and would interfere with the work).
All of the Bosch planer guide fences can be
used to control the width of the cut, such as
when creating rabbets (See page 12).
All of the Bosch planer guide fences also
provide added stability when planing materials
that are up to 3-1/4" wide.
The optional dual-mount guide fence is
especially helpful when planing a vertical edge,
such as when planing an un-mounted door
that is laid flat, such as on saw horses. (Fig. 2)

Positioning of Guide Fences
For right-handed use, the guide fence should
be installed on the left side of the tool. For left-
handed use, the guide fence should be
installed on the right side of the tool, except
when using the planer to create rabbets, which
requires the guide fence to be installed on the
left side of the tool.
Installation of Basic Guide Fence
1. Place a wing screw through the bottom hole
in the long end of the bracket and screw into
the front mount on the appropriate side of
the planer and securely tighten wing knob.
(The O-ring should be on the backside of
the bracket and the flat washer between the
back of the knob and the front side of the
bracket.)
Assembly
2. Place the bolt through the top of the hole on
the short end of the bracket and then
through the slot in the appropriate arm of the
fence. Place the flat washer on the bottom of
the bolt below the guide fence's arm and
then install wing knob. If the washer is not
installed, the guide fence is likely to slip.
3. Securely tighten wing knob.
Installation of Dual-Mount Guide Fences
• This is the same as installing the Basic
Guide Fence, except that both brackets are
attached to the planer's front mount area
and rear mount area (Fig. 1).
Attachment of Plastic Overshoe to Dual-
Mount Guide Fences
• There are two plastic overshoes that can be
used with the dual-mount fence, a straight
overshoe and 3-degree overshoe (sold
separately).
• The 3-degree bevel plastic overshoe is
especially useful when planing the long
edges of typical doors.
• The overshoes clip onto the steel fence.
• To remove either overshoe, gently pull tabs
on overshoe away from the fence and then
move overshoe upward (Fig. 2a).

Setting The Desired Planing Width
1. Loosen the wing knob(s) that hold the fence
onto the brackets guide bracket(s).
2. Slide the fence along the guide bracket(s) to
the desired planing width. (When using the
dual-mount fence, it may be necessary to
raise the planer stand before the desired
width can be reached.)
3. Securely tighten wing knobs.
