PLANER BLADES
The planer blades are sharp
and fragile and must be
handled carefully to avoid injury to the user WARNING
or damage to the blades.
• There are three types of blades that can be
used with the Bosch PL2632 planer; standard
mini tungsten carbide blades, Bosch
Woodrazor micrograin mini tungsten carbide
blades (standard equipment with the Bosch
PL2632 planer), and large HSS blades.
• While the Bosch PL2632 mini tungsten
carbide blades are sharper and more durable
than standard mini tungsten carbide blades,
the assembly and adjustment of both of
Woodrazor and standard tungsten carbide
blades are the same. Henceforth, all
references in this manual to "mini TC blades"
refer to both Woodrazor blades and standard
mini tungsten carbide blades.
• To use large HSS blades with the PL2632 it
is necessary to purchase optional accessories.
Wear protective gloves
when changing planer

any work on the machine itself, pull the power
plug.
Always change both blades at the same time.

only blades designated for use with this model,
because other blades can cause vibration,
decrease performance and may not clamp
securely in blade holder. Do not attempt to
sharpen or use re-sharpened any TC blades.
To remove the blades:
1. Rotate the blade drum until the clamping jaw
is parallel to the planer shoe.
