Bosch GKS 24 V PROFESSIONAL Bedienungsanleitung Seite 15

The saw blade and riving knife must not be-
come stuck in the cut. The saw teeth setting
must be wider and the main body of the saw
blade thinner than the thickness of the riving
knife.
Protect saw blades against shock and impact.
Do not wedge the saw blade.
If the saw blade jams, switch off the machine
immediately.
After switching off, do not slow down the saw
blade by exerting side pressure.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Change
cracked, bent or dull saw blades immediately.
Saw blades of high alloy, high-speed steel
must not be used.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Battery and Battery Charger
The enclosed operating instructions for the
battery charger must be read carefully!
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
Allow a heated battery to cool before charging.
Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger
of explosion! Do not place the battery on radi-
ators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer
time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage.
Do not open the battery, and protect it from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Do not dispose of the battery in household
waste or discard into fire or water.

Before Putting into Operation
Battery Charging
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles.
To remove the battery 1, press the unlocking but-
tons 2 and pull out the battery to the rear. Do not
exert any force.
Please refer to the enclosed "Battery Charger" in-
structions for the operation of the battery charger
as well as for a description of the charging proc-
ess.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
A long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner. A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the batteries are used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes on environmental protec-
tion.
Checking the Adjustment of the
Riving Knife (see figures
Before any work on the machine itself, re-
move the battery.
For safety reasons the riving knife 15 must al-
ways be used. The riving knife avoids seizing of
the saw blade while sawing.
The adjustment is carried out at minimal cutting
depth, as described in section "Adjusting the Cut-
ting Depth".
It is best to place the machine on the face side of
the blade guard.
Loosen clamping lever 24, press the saw away
from the base plate 16 and tighten clamping le-
ver 24 again.
Loosen the screw 26, adjust the riving knife 15
and retighten the screw. Observe the values
given in the figure.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth
(see figure
Before any work on the machine itself, re-
move the battery.
To achieve an optimum cut, the saw blade
must not protrude more than 3 mm at the
most from the material.
