Bosch Appliances 1594 manual Park Rest Stand, Unclogging the Chip Exhaust System

PARK REST STAND

The park rest stand automatically springs down to help keep the blade from coming in contact with the work surface when planer is not in use (Fig. 11). The park rest 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).

UNCLOGGING THE CHIP EXHAUST

SYSTEM

Remove plug from power ! WARNING source if it becomes

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

To minimize the possibility of clogging, make sure:

1.Chip eject lever is all the way forward (left eject) or back (right eject).

2.The depth of cut is reasonable for the material.

3.The feed rate is reasonable for the material.

(See FEED RATE & DEPTH OF CUT)

If clogging occurs, stop the planer and move the chip eject lever back and forth. If this does not break up the clog, unplug the planer and carefully insert a screwdriver or similar object into the dust port to break up the clog.

DELUXE BEVEL GUIDE FENCE

The Deluxe Bevel Guide Fence (Fig. 12) can be used to cut various desired widths, with the additional capability of guiding the planer on any angle up to 45 degrees, to allow edge chamfering (Fig. 13).

Installing the angle fence: Place the wing knob through the appropriate hole in the guide bracket and screw into the housing. Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).

Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob and using the width scale, slide the fence along the guide bracket to the desired position. Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).

Setting the cutting angle: Loosen round knobs and pivot the fence to the desired position. Securely tighten round knobs (Fig. 1).
