Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 25 (wide workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 32 in case it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 10 far enough so that
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly downward
with handle 5.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the fence 10 and saw
through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure Q)
The material stop 38 can be used for easily sawing workpiec-
es to the same length.
– Loosen wing nut 54 and position the length stop to the re-
quested distance to the saw blade.
– Tighten the wing nut again.
– Position the workpiece against the stop. Check again with
the cutting line marked by the laser if the length stop is po-
sitioned correctly.
– Saw this and the other workpieces to the same length ac-
cording to the work steps in the section "Sawing".
Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves) (see figure R)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a trench gap is to be
sawed.
– Loosen both lock nuts 55 using a commercial box-end or
open-end spanner (size 14 mm).
– Loosen the stop nut 56 and screw the depth stop 30 all the
way up turning in anticlockwise direction.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 5 to the position at which the
requested groove depth is reached.
– Screw depth stop 30 in clockwise direction until the screw
end faces against casing stop 57.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
– Retighten the stop nut 56 first and then the lock nuts 55.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap
may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Replacing the Insert Plate (see figure S)
The red insert plates 12 can become worn after long use of
the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew the screws 58 using the provided Phillips screw-
driver and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws 58 so that the saw blade does not come into
1 609 929 U68 | (5.7.11)
contact with the insert plate over the complete length of
the possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-hand
insert plate.
Sawing Profile Strips
Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two different ways:
– Placed against the fence
– Lying flat on the saw table
In addition, the cut can be perfomed with or without slide
movement depending on the width of the profile strip/mould-
ing.
Always make trial cuts with the mitre angle setting first on
scrap wood.
Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
A certain level of experience and appropriate specialty tools
are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service station will handle this mainte-
nance task quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the Laser
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Turn the saw table 17 until it engages at 0°.
– Remove the cover 59. (see figure T1)
Checking: (see figure T2)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly downward
with handle 5.
– Align the workpiece in such a manner that the teeth of the
saw blade are in alignment with the cutting line.
– Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the
tool arm upward again.
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Switch the laser beam on with switch 29.
The laser beam must be in alignment with the cutting line on
the workpiece over the complete length, also when the tool
arm is lowered.
Adjusting: (see figure T3)
– Loosen the knurled screw 60.
– Turn set screw 61 (horizontal laser positioning) and/or 62
(vertical laser positioning) until the laser beam is flush with
the cutting line on the workpiece over the complete length.
– Carefully tighten the knurled screw again.
