GST 85 PAE: Remove the cover guard 12 and
open the slider 22 at the bottom side of the base
plate.
After loosening the screw 15 and sliding lightly
forward in the direction of the saw blade, the base
plate 8 can be swung to the right or left to a max-
imum of 45°.
After coarse adjustment, tighten the screw 15 so
that the base plate 8 can still just be adjusted.
The cutting angle can be pre-adjusted by means
of the scale for mitre angles 14. Precise adjust-
ment with use of a commercial angle gauge 16 is
recommended.
Then tighten the screw 15 again.
To achieve precise cutting angles, the base plate
is fitted with a locking device at 0° and 45° (left
and right). For this, however, the base plate must
be pushed back (towards the motor) to the stop,
so that the notch in the base plate engages in the
positioning pin 18.
When returning the base plate to the 0° (normal)
position, press the base plate lightly in the direc-
tion of the motor until it can be felt to engage and
again tighten the screw 15.
For sawing close to edges, the base plate can be
offset to the rear:
GST 85 PAE: Remove the cover guard 12 and
open the slider 22 at the bottom side of the base
plate.
Use Allen key 3 to take out screw 15 completely.
Lift the base plate and move it to the rear such
that the screw can be turned into the rear thread.
When tightening the screw 15, the base plate
must be pressed to the rear until it can be felt to
engage.
– With the base plate offset, only the 0° (normal)
position can be used.
– The circle cutter/parallel guide 23 as well as
the splinter guard 19 cannot be used in this
case.
The base plate 8 is originally equipped with a re-
placeable base-plate cover 21 made of plastic. It
ensures good sliding capability on wood and
plastic surfaces, and largely avoids scratching of
sensitive surfaces.
After loosening the six screws 20, the replacea-
ble plastic base-plate cover can be exchanged
against a steel insert, which is intended for use
on metal surfaces.
To avoid fraying of the surface, install the splinter
guard 19 by pressing it into the base plate 8.
The splinter guard cannot be used for certain saw
blade types (e. g., saw blades with set teeth).
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote starting control. The vacuum cleaner
starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
For external dust extraction with a vacuum
cleaner, an extraction adapter must be used as
required (see accessories). Insert extraction
adapter and vacuum connection firmly.
Attach the vacuum connection 5 to the base
plate 8 and connect the extraction hose.
For low blowing effect, set the sawdust blower
switch 6 upward.
Cover Guard
The transparent cover guard 12 enables the col-
lection of chips and sawdust. To achieve opti-
mum results, it must always be mounted when
working with dust extraction.
