The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail
from slipping and protects the surface of the
workpiece. The coating of the guide rail allows
the circular saw to glide easily.
Place the circular saw directly onto the guide
rail 33. Fasten the guide rail 33 with suitable
clamping devices, e. g., screw clamps, on the
workpiece in such a manner that the narrow leg
of the guide rail 33 faces toward the saw blade.
The guide rail 33 must not extend beyond the
face side of the workpiece where the cut is to
be started.
Switch the machine on and guide it in the cut-
ting direction applying moderate and steady
feed.
Two guide rails can be connected to one with
use of the connection piece 34. Clamping is car-
ried out with the four screws located in the con-
nection piece.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the bat-
tery using a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Bosch Power Tools
The retracting blade guard must always be able
to move freely and retract automatically. There-
fore, always keep the area around the retracting
blade guard clean. Remove dust and chips by
blowing out with compressed air or with a
brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protect-
ed against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free
oil. Before use, the oil must be removed again,
otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produc-
es poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade im-
mediately after use.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
