Checking and Adjusting the Basic Settings

To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.

A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work quickly and reliably.

Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be connected to the power supply.

  • While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever (22) must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking

  • Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
  • Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (9).
  • Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade line up with the cutting line.
  • Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the tool arm back up.
  • Clamp the workpiece.
  • Turn on the laser beam using the switch (38).

The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is guided downwards.

Adjusting

  • Turn the set screw (53) with a suitable screwdriver until the laser beam is parallel to the entire length of the cutting line on the workpiece.

One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.

  • Bring the power tool into the transport position.
  • Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever (22) must be felt to engage in the detent.

  • Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table (16).

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (12) along its entire length.

Setting

  • Loosen the clamping lever (39).
  • Slide the stop (42) all the way back.
  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (55) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner (size 10 mm).
  • Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Re-tighten the clamping lever (39).
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (55).

If the angle indicator (41) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (40) following adjustment, loosen the screw (54) using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever (22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
  • Turn the stop (29) all the way to the front.
  • Loosen the clamping lever (39).
  • Swivel the tool arm by the handle (9) to the left until the stop screw (56) rests on the stop (29).

Checking

  • Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the saw table (16).

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (12) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure X)

  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (56) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner (size 10 mm).
  • Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Re-tighten the clamping lever (39).
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (56).

If the angle indicator (41) is not aligned with the 45° mark on the scale (40) following adjustment, first check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator once more. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever (22) must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking

  • Set an angle gauge to 90° and position it between the fence (14) and the saw blade (12) on the saw table (16).

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (12) along its entire length.

Adjusting

  • Loosen all four set screws (58) with a cross-headed screwdriver and turn the saw table (16) together with the scale (18) until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Re-tighten the screws.

If the angle indicator (24) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (18) following adjustment, loosen the screw (57) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
