Safety instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
Work area safety
uKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
uDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
uKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
uPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
uAvoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-
ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
uDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
uDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
uWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
uIf operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
uStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
uUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
uPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4LF | (05.11.2020)

12 | English
uRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
uDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
uDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
uIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
uDo not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
uDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
uDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
uMaintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
uKeep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for planers
uWait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the sur-
face leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
uHold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
uUse clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
uOnly bring the power tool into contact with the work-
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
uDo not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with
your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
uNever plane over metal objects, nails or screws. Cut-
ters and cutter shafts could become damaged and cause
increased vibration.
uUse suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
uWhile working, always hold the planer in such a way
that the planer base plate lies flat against the work-
piece. Otherwise the planer could slip and cause injury.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

Noise/vibration information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN62841-2-14.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:
Sound pressure level 84dB(A); sound power level
95dB(A). Uncertainty K=3dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K
determined according to EN62841-2-14
ah=8m/s2, K=1.5m/s2,
The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.

Fitting
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Changing the planer blades
uTake care when changing the planer blade. Do not pick
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 (13) needs to be changed. The HM/TC planer
blade must not be resharpened.
Removing the planer blade (see figure A)
To turn or replace the planer blade (13), turn the blade head
(10) until it is parallel to the planer base plate (7).
➊Loosen the two fastening screws (12) using the hex key
(14) (approx. 1–2 turns).
➋If necessary, loosen the clamping element (11) by
lightly striking it with an appropriate implement, e.g. a
wooden wedge.
➌Use a piece of wood to push the planer blade (13) to
the side and out of the blade head (10).
Fitting the planer blade (see figure B)
The guide groove on the planer blade ensures a constant,
even height setting when changing or turning the blade.
If necessary, clean the knife seat in the clamping element
(11) and the planer blade (13).
When fitting the planer blade, ensure that it is correctly
seated in the mounting guide of the clamping element (11).
The planer blade must be fitted and aligned with the centre
of the planer base plate (7). Then tighten the two fastening
screws (12) with the hex key (14).
Note: Check that the fastening screws (12) are firmly
tightened before starting operation. Turn the blade head
(10) by hand and ensure that the planer blade is not brush-
ing against anything.
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.
uAvoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
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.
uDo not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with
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
uPay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
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.
uProducts that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
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
uMake sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
without releasing the handle.
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).
1 609 92A 4LF | (05.11.2020) Bosch Power Tools

English | 15
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch(5) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Practical advice
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
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.
uOnly bring the power tool into contact with the work-
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.
Groove used Dimension a
(mm)
None 0–4
Medium 4–9
Planing with the Parallel/Angle Guide (see figures F–H)
Attach the parallel guide (17) or the angle guide (21) to the
power tool with the fastening screw (20). Depending on the
application, attach the rebate depth guide (24) to the power
tool with the fastening screw (23).
Loosen the locking nut (19) and set the desired rebate width
on the scale (18). Retighten the locking nut (19).
Set the desired rebate depth accordingly using the rebate
depth guide (24).
Carry out the planing procedure several times until the de-
sired rebate depth has been achieved. Guide the planer with
sideways contact pressure.
Chamfering with angle guide
Use the angle setting (22) to
set the necessary helix angle
when chamfering grooves
and surfaces.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and cleaning
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
uTo ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
Keep the parking rest (25) clear and clean it regularly.
When the carbon brushes are worn out, the power tool
switches itself off. The power tool must be sent to the after-
sales service for maintenance; see the "After-sales service
and advice on using products" section for addresses.
