Product Information
Full details
The Bosch PHO 18V-20 Cordless Planer is designed for DIY enthusiasts seeking an easy-to-use, accurate tool for wood and board planing. Its key benefit lies in its effortless smoothness and total flexibility, achieved through a Woodrazor single-blade system and a lightweight, compact design. A potential caveat for new users is that batteries and chargers are sold separately, requiring an investment in the Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL system if you don't already own compatible tools. This planer excels at finishing surfaces, chamfering edges, and light construction projects, offering reliable results and professional finishes.

FAQs
Does the Bosch PHO 18V-20 come with a battery and charger?
No, the Bosch PHO 18V-20 is sold as a bare tool. Batteries and chargers are sold separately and must be purchased independently.
What is the maximum depth of cut for this planer?
The maximum planing depth for the Bosch PHO 18V-20 is 2 mm per pass.
How do I change the blade on the PHO 18V-20?
The planer features a Woodrazor single-blade system designed for simple blade changes. Please refer to the product's user manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to safely replace the blade.
Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool lines with this planer?
The PHO 18V-20 uses the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery system. Only batteries from the 18V POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE are compatible with this tool.
Is this planer suitable for heavy-duty planing jobs?
The PHO 18V-20 is designed for easy, high-quality wood and board planing, suitable for finishing surfaces, chamfering edges, and light construction projects. It is not intended for heavy-duty material removal.
How do I ensure a smooth finish?
Ensure the blade is sharp and correctly installed. Use the adjustable depth gauge to control shaving levels (0.25 mm increments) and ensure the precision-machined base plate is clean and free of debris for smooth gliding.
What is the benefit of the double-sided chip system?
The double-sided chip ejection allows you to conveniently plane from either side of the workpiece. This is particularly useful when working in confined spaces or close to obstacles like walls.
Troubleshooting
Planer is not turning on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery is compatible with the 18V POWER FOR ALL system.
Uneven planing or rough finish
Check if the blade is sharp and properly installed. Ensure the depth setting is appropriate for the material. Clean the base plate for smooth gliding.
Chips are not being ejected effectively
Empty the dust bag and ensure the chip ejection port is clear of any obstructions. Verify the blade is installed correctly to direct shavings outward.
Planer feels underpowered
The battery may be low on charge. Recharge or replace the battery. Ensure there are no blockages in the motor vents or chip ejection system.

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.
