Operating Instructions
Advancing too fast significantly reduces the
performance capability of the machine and
reduces the service life of the saw blade.
Sawing performance and cut quality depend es-
sentially on the condition and the tooth form of the
saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw blades
that are suited for the material to be worked.
Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends
on the type and quality of the wood and whether
lengthways or crossways cutting is required.
When cutting spruce lengthways long spiral
chips are formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to
health and therefore may be worked only with
dust vacuuming.

Practical Advice

Parallel Guide
The parallel guide 14 enables exact cuts along a
work piece edge and cutting strips of the same di-
mension.
Sawing with an auxiliary guide
For cutting large work-pieces or straight edges:
Clamp a board or strip tightly to the work-piece as
an auxiliary guide using screw clamps. Guide the
base plate along the auxiliary guide.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
The swinging protective guard must always be
able to move freely and close on its own accord.
Therefore, always keep the area around the
swinging protective guard clean. Remove dust
and chips by blowing out with compressed air or
with a brush.
If the machine should fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an authorised after-sales
service centre for Bosch power tools.
14
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.
Before use, the oil must be removed again, other-
wise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produce
poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade imme-
diately after use.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit order number
given on the nameplate of the machine.
WARNING! Important instructions for con-
necting a new 3-pin plug to the 2 wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to
the following code:
strain relief
live = brown
neutral = blue
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth
terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this machine it must be
disposed of safely.
