Starting Operation; Working Advice - Bosch PHO 2000 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Park Rest (see figure G)
The park rest 26 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 26 is tilt-
ed upwards thus enabling full contact of the rear part of the
planer base plate 9.
Note: The park rest 26 may not be removed.

Starting Operation

 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 5 and then press the On/Off switch 6 and keep
it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 6.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 6 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Working Advice

Planing (see figure G)
Set the required planing depth and place the front part of the
planer base plate 9 against the workpiece.
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 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 26 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
(). This tilts the park rest upward () so that the rear
part of the planer base plate faces on the workpiece again.
– Guide the machine over the surface to be planed () with
even feed.

Beveling Edges (see figure H)
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 D–F)
Mount the parallel guide 18 or beveling guide 22 to the ma-
chine using the corresponding fastening bolt 21. Depending
on the application, mount the rebating depth stop 24 with fas-
tening bolt 25 to the machine.
Loosen the locking nut 20 and adjust the requested rebating
width on the scale 19. Tighten the locking nut 20 again.
Adjust the requested rebating depth accordingly with the re-
bating depth stop 24.
Carry out the planing procedure several times until the re-
quested rebating depth is reached. Guide the planer applying
sideward supporting pressure.

Storage Location
In the storage compartment 7 you can store a planer blade 14
(only on PHO 2000) and a hex key 15 as shown in the illustra-
tion. To remove the compartment contents, pull the storage
compartment 7 completely out of the planer.
