Working with an Auxiliary Stop (see figure E)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or lath
can be fastened to the workpiece as an auxiliary stop, and the
power tool can be guided by its base plate alongside the aux-
iliary stop.
Cutting Marks (see figure E)
The "CutControl" viewing window 7, which folds out to the
front, is used for precise guiding of the power tool alongside
the cutting line on the workpiece.
The cutting mark 19 indicates the position of the application
tool for right-angled cuts.
For a dimensionally accurate cut, position the power tool
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It is recom-
mended to carry out a test cut.
Plunge Cuts (see figure D)
The marks on the base plate indicate the cutting edge on the
workpiece at maximum cutting depth.
– Place the base plate 3 on the working surface. Make sure
that the rear mark on base plate 3 corresponds with the
beginning of the cutting line.
– Switch the power tool on and wait until the saw blade 14
has reached its operating speed.
– Plunge the saw blade 14 slowly into the workpiece. Plung-
ing in too quickly can lead to kickback. Guide the machine
alongside the cutting line. Do not pull the machine toward
the rear!
– When reaching the end of the cutting line, lift the power
tool from the workpiece, and leave it switched on for a few
seconds.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
The blade guard 6 must always move freely and retract auto-
matically. Therefore, always keep the area around the blade
guard 6 clean. Remove dust and chips/shavings using a brush
or by blowing out with compressed air.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-
rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must
be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts.
Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.
After finishing work, dismount the clamping fixtures and clean
all clamping parts as well as the protective cover.
