Position of the operator (see figure H)
Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always
u
position your body on the same side of the saw blade
as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high
velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with
the saw blade.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
Pay attention to the following instructions:
– Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and press it
securely against the saw table.
– When using narrow workpieces or sawing bevel angles, al-
ways use the push stick (24) and the additional parallel
guide (43) provided.

Sawing
Making straight cuts
– Adjust the parallel guide to the desired cutting width.
– Place the workpiece on the saw table in front of the pro-
tective cover (6).
– Use the crank (19) to raise or lower the saw blade as far
up or down as needed to position the top teeth of the saw
blade (27) approx. 3−6 mm above the workpiece.
– Switch on the power tool.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
If you apply too much pressure, the tip of the saw blade
could overheat and damage the workpiece.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
Sawing a bevel angle
– Set the required saw blade bevel angle.
If the saw blade is tilted to the left, the parallel guide
must be to the right of the blade.
– Follow the work steps set out in the (see "Making straight
cuts", page 25) section
Sawing mitre angles (see figure I)
– Set the required mitre angle on the angle guide (3).
– Place the workpiece on the profile rail (29).
The profile must not be positioned along the cut line. If it
is, loosen the knurled nut (60) and reposition the profile
rail.
– Use the crank (19) to raise or lower the saw blade as far
up or down as needed to position the top teeth of the saw
blade (27) approx. 3−6 mm above the workpiece.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Hold the workpiece against the profile rail (29) with one
hand; place your other hand on the locking knob (56) and

slide the angle guide slowly forwards in the guide groove
(5).
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
Checking and adjusting the basic settings
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.
Adjusting the stops for a standard bevel angle 0°/45°
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Set the saw blade to a bevel angle of 0°.
– Remove the blade guard (6).
Checking (see figure J1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table
(7).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(27) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure J2)
– Loosen the screw (61). This enables the 0° stop (62) to
be moved.
– Loosen the locking lever (17).
– Slide the hand wheel (18) towards the 0° stop until the
leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its
entire length.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (17).
– Retighten the screw (61).
If the angle indicator (54) is not aligned with the 0° mark on
the scale (55) following adjustment, loosen the screw (63)
using a conventional cross-headed screwdriver and align the
angle indicator along the 0° mark.
Repeat the work step above for the bevel angle of 45°
(loosen the screw (64); move the 45° stop (65)). The angle
indicator (54) must not be repositioned when doing this.
Parallelism of the saw blade with the guide grooves of
the angle guide (see figure K)
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Remove the blade guard (6).
Checking
– Use a pencil to mark the first left-hand saw tooth that is
visible at the back above the table insert.
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the edge of the
guide groove (5).
– Move the leg of the angle gauge until it touches the
marked saw tooth and read the distance between the saw
blade and the guide groove.
– Turn the saw blade until the marked tooth at the front lies
above the table insert.
– Move the angle gauge along the guide groove up to the
marked saw tooth.
