The planer comes with two chip exhaust ports, which may be used with a chip bag (Fig.2) or a shop vacuum and vacuum connector (Fig.3) to keep your work environment cleaner. The chip bag or vacuum connector may be attached to either end of the exhaust port.

Moving the port selector lever to position 1 (towards front of tool) discharges chips to the left, while position 2 (towards rear of tool) discharges chips to the right. (Fig. 1)

The optional VAC002 adapter will connect the hood to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses. An adapter to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also available separately.

1594 planer), and large HSS blades.

• While the Bosch 1594 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 1594 it is

necessary to purchase optional accessories.

Wear protective gloves ! WARNING when changing planer

blades. Edges are sharp and may cause injury.

REMOVING MINI TUNGSTEN

CARBIDE BLADES

Mini TC planer blades have two cutting edges, and may be reversed when one of the cutting edges becomes dull or chipped. (Fig. 6)

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the power plug.

Always changes both blades at the same time. Otherwise, imbalance can cause vibration and reduce the useful service life of the tool. Use 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.

2. Loosen the three clamp screws by about

one revolution each. (It is not necessary to

remove the clamping jaw.) (Fig.4)

3. Slightly rotate the blade drum and use a

piece of wood to push the blade sideways

and out from under the clamping jaw. Make

sure to keep your fingers away from the

sharp edges of the blade. If the blade is

gummed and difficult to remove, you may

clean the blade and clamp with mineral

spirits, lacquer thinner or alcohol. (Fig. 5)

4. Rotate the blade drum 180° and repeat the

procedure to remove the second blade.
