Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior
to assembly.
– Press lever 3, swing back the retracting
blade guard 5 to the stop and hold it in this
position.
– Place the new saw blade onto the interior
clamping flange 32.
¢ When mounting the saw blade, pay atten-
tion that the cutting direction of the teeth
(arrow direction on the saw blade) corre-
sponds with the direction of the arrow on
the blade guard!
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard
downward again.
– Place on the clamping flange 31 and the Allen
screw 30. Press the spindle lock 28 until it
engages and tighten the Allen screw turning
in anticlockwise direction.
Operation
¢ Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Transport Safety
(see figure E)
The transport safety-lock 24 enables easier han-
dling of the machine when transporting to vari-
ous working locations.
Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
– Push the tool arm by the handle 1 down a lit-
tle in order to relieve the transport safety-
lock 24.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 24 completely
outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Tighten clamping lever 25 to lock the saw ta-
ble 11.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, swing the
tool arm by handle 1 toward the rear until the
transport safety-lock 24 can be pushed com-
pletely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for trans-
port.
Bosch Power Tools
Clamping the Workpiece
(see figure F)
To ensure optimum working safety, the work-
piece must always be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to
clamp.
– Press the workpiece firmly against the
fence 6.
– Insert the quick-action clamp 14 provided in-
to one of the holes 27 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 33 and adapt the quick-
action clamp to the workpiece. Tighten the
wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the
threaded rod 34 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the quick-action clamp, turn the
threaded rod 34 in anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
¢ When adjusting the cutting angle, never ac-
tuate the On/Off switch 19. Danger of injury
if the machine should accidentally start.
¢ Before sawing, always tighten the clamping
lever 25. Otherwise the saw blade could be-
come jammed in the workpiece.
Adjusting Horizontal Mitre Angles
(see figure G)
The horizontal mitre angle can be set in the
range from 46° (left side) to 46° (right side).
– Release clamping lever 25, if tightened.
This allows the saw table to move freely.
– Turn the saw table 11 left or right by handle
9 until the angle indicator 35 indicates the
desired mitre angle.
– Tighten clamping lever 25 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mi-
tre angles, the saw table 11 engages at the de-
tents of the following standard angles:
–45°/ –30°/–22,5°/ –15°/
0°/ 15°/ 22,5°/ 30°/ 45°
