Replacing Insert Plates (see figure O)
The red insert plates
18
can become worn after prolonged
use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew the screws
50
with a hex key (4 mm) and remove
the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws
50
so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the complete length of
the possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-hand
insert plate.
Sawing
Always tighten the locking knob 20 firmly before saw-
ing.
Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the
workpiece.
Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure P)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw
33
in case it is tightened. Slide the
tool arm to the stop in the direction of the fence
14
and
retighten the locking screw
33
.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking switch
9
and slowly guide the tool arm down-
ward by the handle
8
.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device
1
(wide workpieces), loosen
the locking screw
33
in case it is tightened.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence
14
far enough so that
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking switch
9
and slowly guide the tool arm down-
ward by the handle
8
.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the fence
14
and saw
through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure Q)
The material stop
37
(accessory) can be used for easily saw-
ing workpieces to the same length.
The material stop can be mounted on either side of the saw ta-
ble extension
13
.
– Loosen lock screw
51
and swing the material stop
37
over
clamping screw
52
.
– Retighten lock screw
51
.
– Adjust the saw table extension
13
to the desired length
(see “Extending the Saw Table”, page 27).
Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves) (see figure R)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a trench gap is to be
sawed.
– Swivel the depth stop
32
outward.
– Press locking lever
9
and tilt the tool arm to the desired po-
sition.
– Turn adjusting screw
4
, until the screw end touches depth
stop
32
.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap
may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
A certain level of experience and appropriate specialty tools
are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service station will handle this mainte-
nance task quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the Laser
Note:
To test the laser function, the machine must be con-
nected to power.
While adjusting the laser (e. g. when moving the tool
arm), never actuate the On/Off switch.
Accidental start-
ing of the power tool can lead to injuries.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
