Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The PHO 18V-20 is a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. Ensure you have a compatible Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL battery and charger before initial use. To install a battery, align it with the battery compartment and slide it in until it clicks securely. Blade changes are facilitated by the Woodrazor single-blade system; follow the specific instructions in the user manual for safe and proper blade replacement.
Compatibility: This planer is part of the Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE. This means the 18V battery is compatible with over 150 tools from Bosch and other brands within the alliance. Always ensure your battery voltage matches the tool's requirements (18V for this model).
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the planer. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and the base plate. Ensure the chip ejection port is clear of debris after each use. For deeper cleaning or to address dust buildup, consult the user manual. Store the planer in a dry environment. The dust bag, included in the box, should be emptied regularly to prevent blockages and ensure efficient dust extraction.
