Dust/Chip Extraction (see figures B
–

f
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
f
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Note:
While sawing, always use the deflection
tube
23
or the dust/chip box
24
so that you will
not be hit by thrown about chips.
The deflection tube
23
can be used with or with-
out dust/chip extraction. Depending on the ap-
plication, turn the deflection tube
23
in such a
manner that you are not hit by chips and insert
it firmly into the sawdust ejector
16
.
External Dust Extraction (see figure B)
Mount the vacuum hose
22
(accessory) on to
the saw dust ejector
16
. Connect the vacuum
hose
22
to a vacuum cleaner (accessory). An
overview for connecting to various vacuum
cleaners can be found at the end of this manual.
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote starting control. The vacuum clean-
er starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figures C–E)
For smaller jobs, the dust/chip box
24
can be
used with the slider
25
shut. For larger jobs, the
slider
25
should be open so that the chips can
fall out.
Insert the dust/chip box
24
firmly into the chip
ejector
16
.
Empty the dust/chip box
24
in time to maintain
optimum efficiency.
To empty the dust/chip box
24
, pull it off of the
sawdust ejector
16
. Press the slider
25
upward,
turn the dust/chip box
24
aside and empty it.
Before reattaching, clean the connection sleeve
of the dust/chip box
24
.

Operating Modes
f
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure F)
f
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
Loosen the clamping lever
26
. For a smaller cut-
ting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate
12
; for a larger cutting depth, push the
saw toward the base plate
12
. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever
26
again.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Loosen the wing bolts
7
and
14
. Tilt the saw
sidewards. Adjust the desired measure on the
scale
5
. Tighten the wing bolts
7
and
14
again.
Note:
For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is small-
er than the setting indicated on the cutting-
depth scale
27
.
