Adjusting Depth Of Cut - Bosch 3296 0 603 296 0 Manual Del Usuario

CAUTION!
The motor may stall if improp-
erly used or overloaded. Reduce the pressure
(feed rate) or depth of cut to prevent possible
damage to the tool if the motor labors.
Tool Rest
The tool rest 31 swings down to help keep the
blade from coming in contact with the work
surface when plane is not in use.

Adjusting Depth of Cut

Proper cutting depth should be determined ac-
cording to the hardness, gumminess or mois-
ture content of the material being cut, as well as
the feed rate, and is largely a matter of experi-
ence. Start with a light cut and increase the
depth setting if the plane moves freely through
the workpiece with no excessive load on the
motor. Do not change depth of cut while
planing.
The cutting depth is determined by the differ-
ence in height between the adjustable front
shoe 10, and the fixed rear shoe 22 of the planer.
As the front shoe is adjusted, it retracts and
exposes the blades 24, which can then remove
the desired amount from the workpiece. The
cutting depth is graduated
from 0 to 2.5mm, and the "0"
indicates the blades are fully
retracted. The planer should
never be set down until the
blades have come to a com-
plete stop.
Adjusting depth of cut: Rotate depth adjust-
ment knob 3 until the indicator engages the
detent which indicates the desired cutting depth
on the depth scale 5. Each graduation mark is
equal to .1mm (.004"). The planer may be set
to cut any depth from 0 - 2.5mm (0 - 3/32").
Width Guide Fence
The width guide fence (not illustrated) can be
used to cut various desired widths.
Installing the guide fence: Place the wing knob
14 through the hole in the guide bracket 13 and
screw into the housing. Securely tighten wing
knob 14.
Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob 15
and slide the fence along the guide bracket 13 to
the desired position. Securely tighten wing

knob 15. Be certain that the flat washer (sup-
plied) is fitted between the bottom of the guide
fence and wing knob 15 or the guide fence is
likely to slip.
The optional deluxe angle/width fence 17 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.
Installing the angle/width fence: Place the
wing knob 14 through the hole in the guide
bracket 13 and screw into the housing. Se-
curely tighten wing knob 14.
Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob
15 and using the width scale 16, slide the fence
17 along the guide bracket 13 to the desired
position. Securely tighten wing knob 15.
Setting the cutting angle: Loosen round knobs
12 and pivot the fence 11 to the desired posi-
tion. Securely tighten round knobs 12.
Note that the adjustable front shoe 10 contains
a chamfer V-groove 20, which will follow the
corner of a workpiece to allow easier handling
when using the deluxe angle/width fence.
The rabbeting depth guide 2 allows the user to
set any rabbeting depth from 0 to 15/16 inch (0
to 24mm). For best results, it is important that
the blades be properly aligned (See "blade
