Working Advice

 When sawing small or thin workpieces, always use a
firm support.
Contact Protector
The contact protector 13 attached to the casing prevents ac-
cidental touching of the saw blade during the working proce-
dure and may not be removed.
Plunge Cutting (see figure I)
 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is
possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.
Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 7 on
to the workpiece without the saw blade 10 touching the work-
piece and switch on. For machines with stroke rate control,
select the maximum stroke rate. Firmly hold the machine
against the workpiece and by tilting the machine, slowly
plunge the saw blade into the workpiece.
When the base plate 7 fully lays on the workpiece, continue
sawing along the desired cutting line.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder regularly. For this, remove the saw
blade from the machine and lightly tap out the machine on a
level surface.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of
dust from below or overhead.
Lubricate the guide roller 9 occasionally with a drop of oil.
Check the guide roller 9 regularly. If worn, it must be replaced
through an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent.
The plastic guide plate 6 should be replaced when worn.
