Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Fitting
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Changing the planer blades
Take care when changing the planer blade. Do not pick
u
up the planer blade by the cutting edges. You may be
injured by the sharp cutting edges.
Use only original Bosch HM/TC planer blades.
The hard metal (HM/TC) planer blade has two cutting edges
and can be turned. If both cutting edges become blunt, the
planer blade (15) needs to be changed. The HM/TC planer
blade must not be resharpened.
Removing the planer blade (see figure B)
To turn or replace the planer blade (15), turn the blade
head (12) on the drive belt (27) until it is parallel to the
planer base plate (9).
➊ Loosen the two fastening screws (14) using the hex key
(11) (approx. 1–2 turns). The hex key (11) required for

Fitting the planer blade (see figure C)
5–30 %
The guide groove on the planer blade ensures a constant,
0–5 %
even height setting when changing or turning the blade.
If necessary, clean the knife seat in the clamping element
(13) and the planer blade (15).
When fitting the planer blade, ensure that it is securely
seated in the mounting guide of the clamping element (13)
and is aligned flush with the side edge of the planer base
plate (9) at the rear. Then tighten the two fastening screws
(14) with the hex key (11).
Note: Check that the fastening screws (14) are firmly
tightened before starting operation. Turn the blade
head (12) on the drive belt (27) by hand and ensure that the
planer blade is not brushing at any point.
Note: Up to two spare blades (15) can be placed in the
drawer (26) (see figure J).
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– 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.
External dust extraction (see figure G)
An extraction hose with dust extraction adapter (19) (ac-
cessory) can be connected to the chip ejector on either side.
Connect the dust extraction hose (19) to a dust extractor
(accessory). You will find an overview of how to connect to

tool and should always be stored there (see figure A).
