Preparing for operation

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.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported.

The saw table can be extended left and right using the saw table extensions (23).

  • Loosen the clamping screw (22).
  • Pull out the saw table extension (23) to the required length.
  • Retighten the clamping screw (22) to fix the saw table extension.

The flexible connector system of the workpiece supports (24) enables a multitude of extension or expansion variants.

  • Insert the workpiece support (24) into the openings (47) on the power tool or into the openings (48) of the second workpiece support as required.
  • Never carry the power tool using the workpiece supports.
    Only use the transport devices to transport the power tool.

When sawing mitre and/or bevel angles, you have to pull the left-hand or right-hand adjustable fence (26) outwards depending on the cutting direction, or remove it completely.

  • Loosen the left-hand/right-hand locking screw (44).
  • Pull the left-hand/right-hand adjustable fence (26) all the way out.

  • Loosen the left-hand/right-hand locking screw (44).
  • Pull the left-hand/right-hand adjustable fence (26) all the way out.
  • Lift the adjustable fence upwards and out of the way.

To ensure maximum safety while working, the workpiece must always be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp firmly.

  • Press the workpiece firmly against the fences (26) and (25).
  • Insert the supplied screw clamp (41) into one of the corresponding holes (42).
  • Adjust the threaded rod (40) of the screw clamp to the workpiece height.
  • Tighten the threaded rod (40) to fix the workpiece in place.
