Checking and Adjusting the
Basic Adjustment
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of
the machine must be checked and adjusted as
necessary after intensive use.
A certain level of experience and appropriate
specialty tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service station will handle
this maintenance task quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the Laser
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 17 until it engages at 0°.
– Remove the cover 57. (see figure T1)
Checking: (see figure T2)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the work-
piece.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly
downward with handle 5.
– Align the workpiece in such a manner that
the teeth of the saw blade are in alignment
with the cutting line.
– Hold the workpiece in this position and slow-
ly guide the tool arm upward again.
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Switch the laser beam on with switch 28.
The laser beam must be in alignment with the
cutting line on the workpiece over the complete
length, also when the tool arm is lowered.
Adjusting: (see figure T3)
– Loosen the knurled screw 58.
– Turn set screw 59 (horizontal laser position-
ing) and/or 60 (vertical laser positioning) un-
til the laser beam is flush with the cutting line
on the workpiece over the complete length.
– Carefully tighten the knurled screw again.
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 0° (Vertical)
– Bring the machine into the transport posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 17 until it engages at 0°.

Checking: (see figure U1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
saw table 17.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 8 over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure U2)
– Loosen the clamping lever 30.
– Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw 22 us-
ing a commercial box-end or open-end span-
ner (size 10 mm).
– Screw the stop screw in or out until the leg
of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade
over the complete length.
– Retighten the clamping lever 30 again.
– Afterwards, retighten the lock nut of the stop
screw 22 again.
In case the angle indicator 51 is not in a line with
the 0° mark of the scale 61 after the adjust-
ment, loosen the screw 62 using a commercial
Phillips screwdriver and align the angle indica-
tor along the 0° mark.
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 45°
(Vertical)
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 17 until it engages at 0°.
– Release the clamping lever 30 and tilt the
tool arm leftward to the stop (45°) by the
handle 5.
Checking: (see figure V1)
– Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the
saw table 17.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 8 over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure V2)
– Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw 21 us-
ing a commercial box-end or open-end span-
ner (size 10 mm).
– Screw the stop screw in or out until the leg
of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade
over the complete length.
– Retighten the clamping lever 30 again.
– Afterwards, retighten the lock nut of the stop
screw 21 again.
