External Dust Extraction
Connect the vacuum hose 30 to a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for connecting to
various vacuum cleaners can be found at the
end of this manual.
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote starting control. The vacuum clean-
er starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Operation
Operating Modes
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
Loosen the clamping lever 25. For a smaller cut-
ting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate 14; for a larger cutting depth, push the
saw toward the base plate 14. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting -depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever 25 again.
The tightening tension of the clamping lever 25
can be readjusted. For this, unscrew the clamp-
ing lever 25, and screw it back again turned off-
set by at least 30° in anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side
of the blade guard 1.
Loosen the wing bolts 7 and 15. Tilt the saw
sidewards. Adjust the desired measure on the
scale 6. Tighten the wing bolts 7 and 15 again.

Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is small-
er than the setting indicated on the cutting-
depth scale 26.
Cutting Marks
45
0
The 0° cutting mark (10) indicates the position
of the saw blade for right-angled cuts. The 45°
cutting mark (9) indicates the position of the
saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It
is best to carry out a trial cut.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, first push the lock-off but-
ton for the On/Off switch 2 and then press the
On/Off switch 3 and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 3.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 3
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
Reduced starting current
The electronic reduced starting current limits
the power consumption when switching the tool
on and enables operation from a 13 ampere
fuse.
