– Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of
the tool arm.
Permissible workpiece dimensions
Maximum workpiece dimensions:
Mitre angle Bevel angle
0° 0°
45° (right/left) 0°
0° 45°
45° (left) 45°
45° (right) 45°
Minimum workpiece dimensions (= all workpieces that can
be secured left or right of the saw blade using the supplied
screw clamps (28)): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)
Max. cutting depth (0°/0°): 70 mm
Replacing the insert plates (see figure L)
The red insert plates (19) can become worn after prolonged
use of the power tool.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Loosen the screws (50) with a hex key (4 mm) and re-
move the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws (50) so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-
hand insert plate.
Sawing
Always tighten the locking knob (21) and the clamp-
u
ing lever (39) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw
blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
Sawing without slide movement (cutting off) (see figure
M)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces),
loosen the locking screw (32) if it is tightened. Push the
tool arm all the way towards the fence (14) and retighten
the locking screw (32).
– Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle
(9).
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.

Sawing with slide movement
– For cuts made using the slide device (1) (wide work-
pieces), loosen the locking screw (32) if it is tightened.
– Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
Height x width
sions.
[mm]
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence (14) until the saw
70 x 312
blade is in front of the workpiece.
70 x 225
– Switch the power tool on.
45 x 312
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle
(9).
45 x 225
– Now push the tool arm towards the fence (14) and saw
45 x 225
through the workpiece with uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Sawing workpieces of the same length (see figure N)
The length stop (35) (accessory) can be used for easily saw-
ing workpieces to the same length.
The length stop can be mounted on either side of the saw
table extension (13).
– Loosen the locking screw (51) and move the length stop
(35) over the clamping screw (52).
– Retighten the locking screw (51).
– Set the saw table extension (13) to the required length
(see " Extending the saw table (see figure B)", page 30).
Adjusting the depth stop (sawing the groove) (see figure
O)
The depth stop needs to be adjusted if you wish to saw a
groove.
– Swivel the depth stop (31) outwards.
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (9) into the required
position.
– Turn the adjusting screw (4) until the end of the screw
touches the depth stop (31).
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Special workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, there
should be no gap between the workpiece, fence and saw
table.
If necessary, you will need to manufacture special fixtures.
Checking and adjusting the basic settings
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
quickly and reliably.
