Mounting the Extraction Adapter
(see figure B)
Attach the extraction adapter 25 onto the saw-
dust ejector 16 until it latches. A vacuum hose
with a diameter of 35 mm can be connected to
the extraction adapter 25.
The extraction adapter may not be mounted
when no external dust extraction is con-
nected. Otherwise the extraction channel
can become clogged.
Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction
adapter. Otherwise the extraction system
can become clogged.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction
adapter 25 must be cleaned regularly.
External Dust Extraction
Connect the vacuum hose 31 to a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for connecting to
various vacuum cleaners can be found at the
end of this manual.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Operation

Operating Modes

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.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.

Loosen the clamping lever 26. For a smaller cut-
ting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate 14; for a larger cutting depth, push the
saw toward the base plate 14. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting -depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever 26 again.
The tightening tension of the clamping lever 26
can be readjusted. For this, unscrew the clamp-
ing lever 26, and screw it back again turned off-
set by at least 30° in anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side
of the blade guard 17.
Loosen the wing bolts 7 and 15. Tilt the saw
sidewards. Adjust the desired measure on the
scale 5. Tighten the wing bolts 7 and 15 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is small-
er than the setting indicated on the cutting-
depth scale 27.
Cutting Marks
45 0
The 0° cutting mark (10) indicates the position
of the saw blade for right-angled cuts. The 45°
cutting mark (9) indicates the position of the
saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It
is best to carry out a trial cut.

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Use only original Bosch O-pack batteries
with the voltage given on the type plate of
your machine. The use of other batteries can
lead to injuries and danger of fire.
