Bosch Professional GHO 18V-LI Original Instructions Manual page 17

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.
Chamfering edges (see figure E)
The V-grooves in the front of the planer base plate enable
quick and easy chamfering of workpiece edges. Select the V-
groove that corresponds to your chamfering width. Then po-
sition the planer with the V-groove onto the edge of the
workpiece and guide it along.

Planing with the Parallel/Angle Guide (see figures F–H)
Attach the parallel guide (19) or the angle guide (23) to the
power tool with the fastening screw (22). Depending on the
application, attach the rebate depth guide (26) to the power
tool with the fastening screw (25).
Loosen the locking nut (21) and set the desired rebate width
on the scale (20). Retighten the locking nut (21).
Set the desired rebate depth accordingly using the rebate
depth guide (26).
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 (24) to
set the necessary helix angle
when chamfering grooves
and surfaces.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
