Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figure D)
The base plate 5 can be swivelled by 45° to the
left or right for mitre cuts.
– Loosen the screw 16 and lightly slide the
base plate 5 in the direction of the saw blade
12.
– Various cutting angles can be precisely ad-
justed with an angle measurer.
– Afterwards, push the base plate 5 toward the
battery 3 to the stop.
– Tighten the screw 16 again.
The splinter guard 14 can not be inserted for mi-
tre cuts.
Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure D)
For sawing close to edges, the base plate 5 can
be offset to the rear.
– Loosen screw 16 and push the base plate 5
toward the battery 3 to the stop.
– Tighten the screw 16 again.
Sawing with the base plate 5 offset is possible
only with a mitre angle of 0°. In addition, the
parallel guide with circle cutter 19 (accessory)
as well as the splinter guard 14 may not be used.

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.
Insert the charged battery 3 into the handle until
it can be felt to engage and faces flush against
the handle.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, firstly press on the safety
switch 1 next to the symbol
Then press and hold the On/Off switch 2.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 2. Activate the safety switch 1 by press-
ing on it next to the symbol .
Controling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the
On/Off switch 2 enables stepless stroke-rate
control of the switched-on machine.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 2 results in
a low stroke rate. Increasing the pressure also
increases the stroke rate.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the
material and the working conditions and can be
determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when
the saw blade engages in the material as well as
when sawing plastic and aluminium.
After longer periods of work at low stroke rate,
the machine can heat up considerably. Remove
the saw blade from the machine and allow the
machine to cool down by running it for approx.
3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

Working Advice

When sawing small or thin workpieces, al-
ways use a firm support.
Contact Protector
The contact protector 11 attached to the casing
prevents accidental touching of the saw blade
during the working procedure and may not be
removed.
