– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Practical advice
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure O)
A laser beam shows you the cutting line of the saw blade.
This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing,
without having to open the retracting blade guard.
– To activate this, turn on the laser beam using the
switch (40).
– Align your mark on the workpiece with the right-hand
edge of the laser line.
Note: Before sawing, check whether the cutting line is still
indicated correctly. The laser beam can be misaligned due to
vibrations from intensive use, for example.

Minimum workpiece dimensions (= all workpieces that can
be secured left or right of the saw blade using the supplied
screw clamps (28)): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)
Max. cutting depth (0°/0°): 70 mm
Adjusting the depth stop (sawing the groove) (see figure
P)
The depth stop needs to be adjusted if you wish to saw a
groove.
– Swivel the depth stop (32) outwards.
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (9) into the required
position.
– Turn the adjusting screw (4) until the end of the screw
touches the depth stop (32).
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Sawing workpieces of the same length (see figure Q)
The length stop (36) (accessory) can be used for easily saw-
ing workpieces of the same length.
The length stop can be mounted on either side of the saw
table extension (13).
– Loosen the locking screw (53) and move the length
stop (36) over the clamping screw (54).
– Re-tighten the locking screw (53).
– Set the saw table extension (13) to the required length.
Bosch Power Tools
Special workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, there
should be no gap between the workpiece, fence and saw
table.
If necessary, you will need to manufacture special fixtures.
Replacing the Insert Plates (see figure R)
The red insert plates (19) can become worn after prolonged
use of the power tool.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Loosen the screws (55) using the hex key (4 mm) (34)
and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws (55) so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-
hand insert plate.

Checking and Adjusting the Basic Settings
70 x 312
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
70 x 225
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
45 x 312
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.
20 x 312
A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
45 x 225
quickly and reliably.
20 x 225
Adjusting the laser
30 x 225
Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be con-
nected to the power supply.
While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool
u
arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the
power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever
(22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure S1)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the
handle (9).
– Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade
line up with the cutting line.
– Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the
tool arm back up.
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Turn on the laser beam using the switch (40).
The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the
workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is
guided downwards.
Setting (see figure S2)
– Turn the set screw (56) with a suitable screwdriver until
the laser beam is parallel to the entire length of the cut-
ting line on the workpiece.
