tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Connecting the Dust Extraction System
(see figures F−G)
Push the extraction outlet (6) into the recesses of the base
plate (11) until it clicks into place.
Insert the dust extraction adapter (23) into an extraction
hose (22) until you hear it click into place. Connect the dust
extraction adapter (23) to the extraction outlet (6) on the
power tool and the extraction hose (22) to a dust extractor
(accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have con-
nected the dust extraction system.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (20).
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
Operating modes
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.
Pendulum action settings
The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.
You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation
using the adjusting lever (8).
No pendulum action
Low pendulum action
Moderate pendulum action
High pendulum action
Bosch Power Tools
The optimum pendulum level for each application can be de-
termined by a practical test. Note the following recommend-
ations:
– Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner
cutting edge.
– Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin ma-
terials (e.g. sheets).
– Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum ac-
tion.
– You can work on soft materials and saw wood using max-
imum pendulum action.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure H)
The base plate (11) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The anti-splinter guard (20) cannot be used while mitre cuts
are being made.
– Remove the extraction outlet (6), the glide shoe (10) and
the anti-splinter guard (20).
– Loosen the screw (25) (e.g. with a screwdriver) and slide
the base plate (11) slightly towards the rechargeable
battery (5).
– The base plate has lock-in points on the left and right so
that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set. Swivel the
base plate (11) to the required position according to the
scale (24). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted us-
ing a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (11) towards the saw
blade (12) as far as it will go.
– Retighten the screw (25).
Cut Control for mitre cuts (see figure I)
To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the
viewing window for Cut Control (13) has a mark (27) for
right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (26) for rightward- and
leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale
(24).
When securing Cut Control with the base for Cut Control
(15) to the base plate (11), use the inner marking (26).
When securing the viewing window for Cut Control (13) dir-
ectly to the glide shoe (10), use the outer marking (28).
The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-
tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for
Cut Control (13) using a non-permanent marker and easily
removed again.
We recommend making a test cut for precise results.
Moving the base plate (see figure H)
You can move the base plate (11) back for sawing close to
edges.
Loosen the screw (25) (e.g. with a screwdriver) and slide
the base plate (11) as far as it will go towards the re-
chargeable battery (5).
Retighten the screw (25).
