piece as an auxiliary guide. The circular saw can be guided
along the path of this auxiliary guide with the base plate.
Sawing with a guide rail (see figure E)
You can use the guide rail (34) to produce straight cuts.
Note: Only use the guide rail (34) for right-angled cuts. At-
tempting mitre/bevel cuts could damage the guide rail (34) .
The adhesive layer prevents the guide rail from slipping and
preserves the surface of the workpiece. The guide rail's coat-
ing allows the power tool to glide more easily.
Fasten the guide rail (34) to the workpiece using suitable
clamping devices, e.g. screw clamps. Put the power tool
with mounted guide rail adapter on the guide rail.
Note: Mount the parallel guide/guide rail adapter (32) on
the power tool with the Bosch logo facing down.
The guide rail (34) must not protrude over the edge of
the workpiece being sawn into.
Switch on the power tool and push it gently in the cutting dir-
ection, guiding it evenly.
Working with parallel guide/guide rail adapter and
extraction hose
First, mount the dust extraction adapter (29) with extraction
hose (30) and then the parallel guide/guide adapter (32).
Note: Use only the intended screws to fix the parallel guide/
guide adapter (32) and the dust extraction adapter (29).
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.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

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.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move
freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean at all
times. Remove dust and chips with a paintbrush.
Non-coated saw blades can be protected against corrosion
using a thin layer of acid-free oil. Remove the oil again before
sawing as failure to do so will stain the wood.
Bosch Power Tools
Resin or glue residue on the saw blade has a detrimental ef-
fect on the quality of the cut. You should therefore clean saw
blades straight after use.
