Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Items included
See the list of items included at the start of the
operating manual.
Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been
supplied before using the power tool for the first time:

– Transport handle (3), 2 screws for assembly
– Screw clamp (30)
– Hex key (44)
– SDS bolt (63)
– Length stop (46), 1 screw for assembly
Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that
all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working
perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the
moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming;
check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit-
ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure
smooth operation must be met.
If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you
must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author-
ised service centre.

Remove the cover for the Bluetooth® Low Energy
u
Module GCY 42 on the power tool, e.g. using a screw-
driver or a large coin. Using unsuitable objects can dam-
age the electronics or the cover.
Fitting individual components
– Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from
their packaging.
– Remove all packing material from the power tool and the
accessories provided.
Fitting the transport handle (see figure A1)
– Screw the transport handle (3) into the corresponding
threads with the screws supplied.
Fitting the Length Stop (see figure A2)
– Screw the length stop (46) into the designated thread on
the left- or right-hand side of the saw table (17) with the
screw supplied.
Stationary or flexible mounting
To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
u
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure B1−B2)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (28) are used for this pur-
pose.
or
– Firmly clamp the base of the power tool to the work sur-
face with commercially available screw clamps.
Mounting on 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 underlay-
ing long workpieces.
Read all the warnings and instructions included with
u
the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol-
low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the
u
power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the
risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport
position.
Flexible installation (not recommended) (see figure B3)
If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to mount
the power tool on a flat and stable work surface, you can im-
provise by setting it up with the tilt protector.
