SHAVINGS EXTRACTION
The planer shavings exhaust port may be used
with an optional shavings bag (Fig. 3a) or a
shop vacuum and vacuum connector (Fig. 3b)
to keep your work environment cleaner.
Bosch offers several different vacuum hoses
that will connect these tools to Bosch vacuum
cleaners. The optional Bosch VAC002 or
VAC024 adapters will connect the planer to
1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses, and the
optional VAC020 will connect the planer to
2-1/2" hoses.

PLANER BLADES
The planer blades are sharp
! WARNING and fragile and must be
handled carefully to avoid injury to the user
or damage to the blades.
The PA1202 Woodrazor micro-grain tungsten
carbide planer blades have two cutting edges,
and may be reversed when one of the cutting
edges becomes dull or chipped.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened
used blades of any kind. Use only blades
designated for use with this model, because
other blades will cause vibration, decrease
performance and may not clamp securely in
blade holder.
REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADES
To reverse or replace the blade, loosen the
clamping screws with blade wrench. The
wrench is stored on the left side of the tool
(Fig. 1). With the screws loosened, slide the
blade lengthwise out of the cutter drum, taking
care to keep your fingers away from the sharp
edges of the blade (Fig. 4).
A piece of wood may be used for this purpose.
If the blade is gummed and difficult to remove,
you may clean the blade with mineral spirits,
lacquer thinner or alcohol.
Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new
blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade
setting and proper tool performance.
BLADE ALIGNMENT
The blade should be centered relative to the
front and rear shoes. (Fig 5.) Rotate the blade
drum by hand to verify sure that the blade
doesn’t touch to any other part of the tool.
