Switching Off; Practical Advice - Bosch GSM 18V-216 Professional HEAVY DUTY Originalbetriebsanleitug

Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
– Push the charged battery (34) into the battery bay of the
power tool until the battery is securely locked.
Switching on (see figure L)
– To start the power tool, first press the lock-off button
(7). Then press the on/off switch (8) all the way in and
keep it pressed.
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (8) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Switching off

– To switch off, release the on/off switch (8).

Practical advice

Marking the cutting line (see figure M)
A laser beam shows you the cutting line of the saw blade.
This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing,
without having to open the retracting blade guard.
– To do this, switch on the laser beam by briefly pressing
the on/off switch (8) without pressing the lock-off button
(7).
– Align your mark on the workpiece with the right-hand
edge of the laser line.
Note: Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indic-
ated correctly (see "Adjusting the laser", page 34). The
laser beam can be misplaced due to vibrations from intens-
ive use, for example.
Position of the operator (see figure N)
Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
u
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– 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 (26)): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)
Maximum cutting depth (0°/0°): 70 mm
Replacing insert plates (see figure O)
The insert plates (18) can become worn after prolonged use
of the power tool.
Replace faulty insert plates.
Bosch Power Tools
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Loosen the screws (51) using the hex key (41) 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 (51) 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 new
left-hand insert plate.
Sawing
General sawing instructions
Always tighten the locking knob (19) and the clamp-
u
ing handle (31) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the
saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
u
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of
the intended use.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must
always have a straight edge to face against the fence.
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must
open when the tool arm is guided downwards. When the tool
arm is guided upwards, the retracting blade guard must
close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost po-
sition of the tool arm.
Sawing without slide movement (cutting off) (see figure
P)
– 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 (13) and retighten
Height x width
the locking screw (32).
[mm]
– Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary.
70 x 270
– Press the workpiece firmly against the fences (13) and
70 x 190 (25).
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
45 x 270
sions.
45 x 190
– Switch the power tool on.
45 x 190
– 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.
