Setting mitre and bevel angles
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
quickly and reliably.
Always tighten the locking knob (12) firmly before
u
sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in
the workpiece.
Adjusting the horizontal mitre angle
Setting Standard Mitre Angles (see figure H)
For quick and precise setting of commonly used mitre
angles, detents (15) are provided on the saw table:
Leftward
0°
45°; 31.6°; 22.5°; 15°
– Loosen the locking knob (12) if it is tightened.
– Pull the lever (13) and rotate the saw table (41) left or
right to the required detent.
– Release the lever again. The lever must be felt to engage
in the detent.
– Retighten the locking knob (12).
Setting Any Mitre Angle (see figure I)
The mitre angle can be set between 52° (left side) and 60°
(right side).
– Loosen the locking knob (12) if it is tightened.
– Pull the lever (13) and at the same time press the locking
clamp (11) until this clicks into the slot provided for it.
This means the saw table can now move freely.
– Turn the saw table (41) left or right by the locking knob
until the angle indicator (63) shows the required mitre
angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (12).
– To loosen the lever (13) again (for setting standard mitre
angles), pull the lever upwards.
The locking clamp (11) springs back into its original posi-
tion and the lever (13) can click back into the detents
(15).
Adjusting vertical mitre angles
The bevel angle can be set between 47° (left side) and 47°
(right side).
For quick and precise setting of frequently used bevel
angles, stops have been provided for the angles 0°, 22.5°,
45° and 47°.
Setting the left-hand bevel angle range (45° to 0°)
– Pull the left-hand adjustable fence (6) all the way out.
– Loosen the clamping handle (14).
– Use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (33) to the left
until the angle indicator (36) shows the required bevel
angle.

– Swivel the glide arm (33) from the right to the 0° position.
Setting the entire bevel angle range (–47° to +47°)
– Pull both adjustable fences (6) all the way out.
– Loosen the clamping handle (14).
– Use the handle (1) to tilt the glide arm (33) slightly to the

Setting the Standard 22.5° Bevel Angle (see figure K)
Pull the adjustment knob (37) all the way out and turn it 90°.
Then use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (33) until
you hear the glide arm engage.

Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the
voltage stated on the type plate of your power tool.
Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
