Level 0 No pendulum action
Level I Low pendulum action
Level II Moderate pendulum action
Level III High pendulum action
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 in the direc-
tion of the grain using maximum pendulum action.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure H)
The base plate (6) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The hood (18), the extraction outlet (19) and the anti-
splinter guard (17) cannot be used while mitre/bevel cuts
are being made.
– Push the extraction outlet (19) gently upwards and pull it
out of the base plate (6).
– Remove the hood (18) and the anti-splinter guard (17).
– Open the base plate clamping lever (22) and push the
base plate (6) slightly towards the power cable.
– 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 (6) to the required position according to the
scale (21). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted us-
ing a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (6) towards the saw blade (11)
as far as it will go.
– Close the clamping lever (22) to lock the base plate in the
set position.
Moving the base plate (see figure H)
You can move the base plate (6) back for sawing close to
edges.
Open the base plate clamping lever (22) and push the base
plate (6) towards the power cable as far as it will go. Close
the clamping lever to lock the base plate.
Sawing with an offset base plate (6) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In all other cases the anti-splinter guard
(17) may not be used.
Sawdust blower device
The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow
from the sawdust blower device.
Switch on the sawdust blower device for work in wood,
plastic, etc. with a high level of material removal. Do this by
sliding the switch (7) to the "I" position.
Bosch Power Tools
Switch off the sawdust blower device when working in metal
or with a dust extraction system connected. Do this by slid-
ing the switch (7) to the "0" position.
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching on the LED worklight
To switch the worklight (12) on or off, press the worklight
button (1).
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
u
you.
Switching On and Off (GST 160 CE)
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (3) for-
wards so that "I" appears on the switch.
To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (3)
backwards so that "0" appears on the switch.
Switching On and Off (GST 160 BCE)
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (3).
To lock the on/off switch (3), keep it pressed down and
push the locking mechanism (2) to the right or left.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3).
If the on/off switch (3) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Restart protection
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (3) to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Constant Electronic control
The Constant Electronic control keeps the stroke rate at no
load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uni-
form performance.
Controlling the stroke rate (GST 160 BCE)
You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool
when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (3) to varying
extents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (3) results in a
low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch
increases the stroke rate.
Preselect the stroke rate
You can also preselect the stroke rate and change it during
operation using the stroke rate preselection thumbwheel
(4).
