Switching On/Off; Practical Advice - Bosch Professional PHO 1500 Notice Originale

into the chip ejector (1). Empty the chip/dust bag (17) at
regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Selectable chip ejection (PHO 2000)
Using the changeover lever (4), the chip ejector can be (1)
adjusted to the right or left. Push the changeover lever (4) all
the way towards the end position until it clicks into place.
The selected chip ejector direction is indicated by an arrow
symbol on the changeover lever (4).
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 0–1,5 mm with the aid of the cutting
depth scale (3) (scale division = 0,25 mm).

Switching on/off

Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (5),
then press and hold the on/off switch (6).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (6) 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.
Servicestation
The service station in the case can be used as a mounting fix-
ture for the planer, e.g. for changing the blade.
Do not use the service station for stationary operation
u
of the planer.
Parking rest (see figure G)
The parking rest (26) 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 (26) is highly pivoted and the rear
section of the planer base plate (9) is released.
Note: The parking rest (26) must not be removed.
Planing Procedure (see figure G)
Set the required cutting depth and position the power tool
with the front section of the planer base plate (9) on the
workpiece.
Bosch Power Tools
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 (26) 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 H)
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 D–F)
Attach the parallel guide (18) or the angle guide (22) to the
power tool with the fastening screw (21). Depending on the
application, attach the rebate depth guide (25) to the power
tool with the fastening screw (24).
Loosen the locking nut (20) and set the desired rebate width
on the scale (19). Retighten the locking nut (20).
Set the desired rebate depth accordingly using the rebate
depth guide (25).
Carry out the planing procedure several times until the de-
sired rebate depth has been achieved. Guide the planer with
sideways contact pressure.
