PLANER STAND
The planer stand automatically springs down
to help keep the blade from coming in
contact with the work surface when planer is
not in use (Fig. 12). The planer stand is
designed to swing up and out of the way by it
itself when the back of the plane crosses the
leading edge of the workpiece (Fig. 10). It will
also swing up when planing begins in the
middle of the work piece (in from the edge of
the work piece).
BEVELING EDGES
The V-groove in the front planer base plate
allow quick and easy beveling of workpiece
edges. (Fig. 13).
UNCLOGGING THE SHAVINGS

necessary to manually remove shavings. WARNING
The blades are hidden from view and you may
be cut if contacted.

RABBETING
Although all of the compatible Bosch planer
guide fences can be used with the PL2632 for
rabbeting (sometimes called "shiplapping"), the
best fence for this purpose is the optional dual-
mount fence.
The PL2632 can create rabbets up to 82 mm /
3-1/2" wide. (Fig. 14). Keep in mind that it
takes steady sideways pressure and many
passes to create rabbets using a planer.
RABBETING DEPTH STOP
The optional rabbeting depth stop (Fig. 14)
allows the user to set any rabbeting depth from
0 to 5/16" (9 mm). For best results, it is
important that the blade be properly aligned
(See "BLADE ALIGNMENT").
Setting the rabbet depth: Loosen wing knob
and using the depth scale on the rabbeting
depth stop, set the desired rabbet depth.
Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 14).
