Switching On/Off; Practical Advice - Bosch GHO Professional 16-82 Originalbetriebsanleitung

– 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 C)
Connect an extraction hose (15) (accessory) to the chip
ejector (3).
Connect the extraction hose (15) to a dust extractor (ac-
cessory). You will find an overview of how to connect to vari-
ous dust extractors at the end of these operating instruc-
tions. The dust extractor must be suitable for the material
being worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Self-generated dust extraction (see figure C)
A chip/dust bag (accessory) (16) can be used for smaller
jobs. Insert the dust bag nozzle of the chip/dust bag firmly
into the chip ejector (3). Empty the chip/dust bag (16) at
regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Adjustable chip ejector (GHO 26-82 D)
Using the changeover lever (6), the chip ejector can be (3)
adjusted to the right or left. Always push the changeover
lever (6) towards the end position until it clicks into place.
The selected chip ejector direction is indicated by an arrow
symbol on the changeover lever (6).
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 0–1.6 mm (GHO 16-82) or 0–2.6 mm
(GHO 26-82 D) with the aid of the cutting depth scale (1)
(scale division = 0.1 mm).

Switching on/off

Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
Bosch Power Tools
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (4),
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 during the entire operation.

Practical advice

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Parking rest (see figure D)
The parking rest (25) makes it possible to put down the
power tool directly after working, without any danger of
damaging the workpiece or planer blade. During the work
process, the parking rest (25) is highly pivoted and the rear
section of the planer base plate (7) is released.
Note: The parking rest (25) must not be removed.
Planing Procedure (see figure D)
Set the required cutting depth and position the power tool
with the front section of the planer base plate (7) 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 (25) 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 E)
The V-groove (8) in the front of the planer base plate enables
quick and easy chamfering of workpiece edges. Position the
planer with the V-groove onto the edge of the workpiece and
guide it along.
