Mounting to a Bosch Saw Stand
With the height-adjustable legs, Bosch GTA saw
stands provide firm support for the power tool
on any surface. The workpiece supports of the
saw stand are used for underlaying long work-
pieces.
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the
transport position.
Flexible Mounting (not recommended!)
(see figure B)
In exceptional cases, when it is not possible to
mount the machine onto a level and stable work
surface, it can be set up using the tilt protector.
Without the use of the tilt protector, the
machine does not stand safely and can tip
over, especially when sawing at maximum
mitre/bevel angles.
– Pull the metal bar of the tilt protector 33 out
forwards to the stop.
– Screw the tilt protector 31 in or out until the
machine stands level on the working surface.
Lock this position with the lock nut 32.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– Always use dust extraction.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the work-
place. Dusts can easily ignite.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by
dust, chips or workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
For basic dust collection, use the dust bag 34
provided.
Check and clean the dust bag each time af-
ter using.
When sawing aluminium, remove the dust
bag to avoid the risk of fire.
– Press the clip of the dust bag 34 together
and slide the dust bag over the saw dust
ejector 22. The clip must engage into the
groove of the saw dust ejector.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come in-
to contact with the movable machine parts.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size
Ø 36 mm) can also be connected to the dust
ejector 22.
– Connect the vacuum hose with the sawdust
ejector 22.
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.
