Chip ejector (see figure B)
The chip ejector (18) can turn freely.
An extraction hose with a diameter of 35 mm or a dust/chip
box (30) can be connected to the chip ejector (18).
To ensure optimum extraction, the chip ejector (18) must be
cleaned regularly.
External dust extraction
Connect the dust extraction hose (39) to a dust extractor
(accessory). You will find an overview of how to connect to
various dust extractors at the end of these operating instruc-
tions.
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
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Operating modes
Setting the cutting depth (see figures D–E)
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.
GKS 18V-68 G
The cutting depth can be set using the button for cutting
depth preselection (20).
GKS 18V-68
The cutting depth can be set using the lever for cutting depth
preselection (21).
For a smaller cutting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate (13); for a larger cutting depth, push the saw towards
the base plate (13). Set the required cutting depth on the
scale (17).
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle
We recommend that you place the power tool down on the
front side of the protective guard (16).
GKS 18V-68 G
Loosen the adjusting lever for mitre/bevel angle preselection
(5) and the wing bolt (15). Swivel the saw to the side. Set
the required mitre angle on the scale (7). Retighten the ad-
justing lever (5) and the wing bolt (15).
Note: When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than
the value shown on the cutting depth scale (17).
GKS 18V-68
Loosen the adjusting lever for mitre/bevel angle
preselection (5). Swivel the saw to the side. Set the required
mitre/bevel angle on the scale (7). Screw the adjusting
lever (5) back on again.
Bosch Power Tools
Note: When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than
the value shown on the cutting depth scale (17).
Cut Marks
GKS 18V-68 G
The 0° cut mark (8) indicates the posi-

tion of the saw blade when making a
right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (9)

indicates the position of the saw blade
when making a 45° cut.

Use the left edge of the cut mark as a guide to make the cut,
as shown in the figure. In this case, the waste piece is on the
right-hand side. We recommend making a test cut.

Using the FSN Guide Rail System
GKS 18V-68 G
When using the FSN guide rail system, the power tool can
stay in the holder for the guide rail when making mitre cuts.

When using the guide rail system, al-
ways use the 0° cut mark (8) regard-
less of the cutting angle.
