Dust/Chip Extraction

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.

 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of

the user or bystanders.

Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-

rials to be worked.

 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

External Dust Extraction

Mount the vacuum hose 31 (accessory) on to the chip ejector

18. Connect the vacuum hose 31 to a vacuum cleaner (acces-

sory). An overview for connecting to various vacuum cleaners

can be found at the end of this manual.

The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle of a

Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote starting con-

trol. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically when the ma-

chine is switched on.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being

worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to

health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Operation

Operating Modes

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure B–C)

 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-

piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be

visible below the workpiece.

Turn cutting-depth indicator 8 to the bottom position  for

sawing without guide rail, or to the upper position  for saw-

ing with guide rail.

Press slider 27 and adjust the desired cutting depth (material

thickness + tooth height of the saw blade) on cutting-depth

scale 6.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle

Loosen the wing bolts 11 and 17. Tilt the saw sidewards.

Adjust the desired measure on the scale 9. Tighten the wing

bolts 11 and 17 again.

The mitre angle of the saw can be adjusted to – 1 ° or +47 °.

For the – 1 ° mitre angle, additionally push button 16 while

tilting, or for the +47 ° mitre angle, push button 12 while tilt-

ing.

Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-

ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 6.

Cutting Marks (see figure D)

The 0° cutting mark (32) indicates the position of the saw

blade for straight cuts. The 45° cutting mark (33) indicates

the position of the saw blade for 45° cuts without using the

guide rail.

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the

On/Off switch 2 and then press the On/Off switch 1 and keep
