Assembly

Mounting/Replacing the Saw Blade

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

plug.

f When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.

Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.

f Only use saw blades that correspond with the charac-

teristic data given in the operating instructions.

f Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as

the cutting tool.

Selecting a Saw Blade

An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the

end of this manual.

Removal of the Saw Blade (see figure A)

For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place the machine

on the face side of the motor housing.

– Press the spindle lock button 4 and keep it pressed.

f The spindle lock button 4 may be actuated only when

the saw spindle is at a standstill. Otherwise, the power

tool can be damaged.

– With the Allen key 6, unscrew the clamping bolt 18 turning

in rotation direction n.

– Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.

– Remove the clamping flange 19 and the saw blade 20 from

the saw spindle 22.

Mounting the Saw Blade (see figure A)

For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place the machine

on the face side of the motor housing.

– Clean the saw blade 20 and all clamping parts to be assem-

bled.

– Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.

– Place the saw blade 20 on to the mounting flange 21. The

cutting direction of the teeth (direction or arrow on saw

blade) and the direction-of-rotation arrow on the blade

guard 15 must correspond.

– Mount the clamping flange 19 and screw in the clamping

bolt 18 turning in rotation direction o. Observe correct

mounting position of mounting flange 21 and clamping

flange 19.

– Press the spindle lock button 4 and keep it pressed.

– With the Allen key 6, tighten the clamping bolt 18 turning

in rotation direction o. The tightening torque is between

6–9 Nm, which corresponds to hand tight plus ¼ turn.

Dust/Chip Extraction (see figures B–E)

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

plug.

f 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 suita-

ble 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

materials to be worked.

f Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

Note: While sawing, always use the deflection tube 24 or the

dust/chip box 25 so that you will not be hit by thrown about

chips.

The deflection tube 24 can be used with or without dust/chip

extraction. Depending on the application, turn the deflection

tube 24 in such a manner that you are not hit by chips and in-

sert it firmly into the sawdust ejector 16.

External Dust Extraction (see figure B)

Mount the vacuum hose 23 (accessory) on to the saw dust

ejector 16. Connect the vacuum hose 23 to a vacuum cleaner

(accessory). 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.

Integrated Dust Extraction (see figures C–E)

For smaller jobs, the dust/chip box 25 can be used with the

slider 26 shut. For larger jobs, the slider 26 should be open so

that the chips can fall out.
