Transport (see figure X)
Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must
be carried out:
– Loosen the locking screw (33) if it is tightened. Pull the
tool arm fully forwards and retighten the locking screw.
– Make sure that the depth stop (32) is pressed all the way
in and that the adjusting screw (4) fits through the recess
without touching the depth stop when moving the tool
arm.
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
– Remove all accessories that cannot be securely fitted to
the power tool. If possible, transport unused saw blades
in an enclosed container.
– Wind up the mains cable and tie it together with the hook-
and-loop strap (63).
– Carry the power tool by the transport handle (3) or hold it
by the recessed handles (27) on the sides of the saw

Only use the transport devices to transport the power
u
tool and never the protective devices.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
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.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move
freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean at all
times.
Always remove dust and chips after working by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
Clean the guide roller (6) regularly.
