Cut Control for mitre cuts
(19) (9) (10) (5)
To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the
viewing window for Cut Control (9) has a mark (19) for
right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (20) for rightward- and
leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale
(18).
The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-
tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for
Cut Control (9) using a non-permanent marker and easily
removed again.
We recommend making a test cut for precise results.
Moving the base plate (see figure E)
You can move the base plate (5) back for sawing close to
edges.
Insert a saw blade (8).
Loosen the screw (17) and push the base plate (5) towards
the extraction outlet (4) as far as it will go.
Slide the bracket (16) so that the guide roller (7) fits against
the back of the saw blade. Precise cuts are only possible
when the guide roller fits closely against the back of the saw
blade.
Retighten the screw (17).
Sawing with an offset base plate (5) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In addition, Cut Control must not be used
with the base (10) or the anti-splinter guard (14).
Sawdust blower device
The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow
from the sawdust blower device.
To switch on the sawdust blower
device: When working with high mater-
ial removal in wood, plastic and other
similar materials, push the switch (6)
towards the extraction outlet.
To switch off the sawdust blower
device: When working in metal and with
a dust extraction system connected,
push the switch (6) towards the saw
blade.
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
Bosch Power Tools
Switching on/off
u
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2), keep it pressed down and
push the locking mechanism (1) to the right or left.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).
(20) (18)
If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Working Advice
u
u
u
Saw with moderate pressure in order to achieve optimal and
precise cutting results.
When making long, straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm),
the cutting line may not be entirely precise. In this case, for
precise cuts, it is recommended that you use a Bosch circu-
lar saw.
Plunge cutting (see figure G)
u
For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades. Plunge cutting
is possible only with a mitre angle of 0°.
Place the power tool so that the front edge of the base plate
(5) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (8) touch-
ing the workpiece, and switch it on. On power tools with
stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate. Press
the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow the
saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the base plate (5) rests fully on the workpiece,
continue sawing along the required cutting line.
Coolant/lubricant
As the material heats up along the cutting line when cutting
metal, you should apply coolant or lubricant.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
u
u
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
without releasing the handle.
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
becomes blocked.
When machining small or thin workpieces, always use
a stable base or sawing station (Bosch PLS 300).
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials,
such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
