To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction adapter
(25) must be cleaned regularly.
External dust extraction
Connect the dust extraction hose to a dust extractor (access-
ory). You will find an overview of connecting to various dust
extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The power tool can be directly connected to the socket of a
Bosch all-purpose dust extractor with remote starter. This
dust extractor is started up automatically when the power
tool is switched on.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Operating modes
Setting the Cutting Depth (see figure B)
Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
u
piece. A space of less than the height of one full tooth
should be visible under the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever (22). For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate (12); for a larger cut-
ting depth, push the saw towards the base plate (12). Adjust
the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Retighten the clamping lever (22).
If you are unable to fully adjust the cutting depth after
loosening the clamping lever (22), pull the clamping lever
(22) away from the saw and swivel it downwards. Loosen
the clamping lever (22) again. Repeat this process until the
required cutting depth can be set.
If you are unable to adequately fix the cutting depth after
tightening the clamping lever (22), pull the clamping lever
(22) away from the saw and swivel it upwards. Loosen the
clamping lever (22) again. Repeat this process until the cut-
ting depth is fixed.
Adjusting the Mitre/Bevel Angle
We recommend that you place the power tool down on the
front side of the protective guard (15).
Loosen the wing bolt (6). Swivel the saw to the side. Set the
required mitre angle on the scale (5). Retighten the wing
bolt (6).
Note: When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than
the value shown on the cutting depth scale (23).

Cut marks
The 0° cut mark (9) indicates the posi-
tion of the saw blade when making a
right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (8)
45 0
indicates the position of the saw blade
when making a 45° cut.
For a precise cut, place the circular
saw against the workpiece as shown in
the figure. We recommend making a
test cut.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage! The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on/off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (2),
then press and hold the on/off switch (1).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (1).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (1) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
The width of cut varies depending on the saw blade used.
Protect saw blades against shock and impact.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting
direction in order to achieve a high cut quality. Applying too
much pressure will significantly reduce the service life of ap-
plication tools and can damage the power tool.
The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essen-
tially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the
saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades
that are suitable for the material being machined.
Sawing wood
Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type,
wood quality and whether cuts with or against the grain are
required.
Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-
shaped chips.
Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing with a parallel guide (see figure C)
The parallel guide (10) allows you to make precise cuts
along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same
dimensions.
