Checking and adjusting the basic settings
- Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
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.
Adjusting the laser
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. Accidental starting of the power tool can lead to injuries.
- Bring the power tool into the work position.
Checking: (see figure K1)
- Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
- Push the locking lever (1) and slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (16).
- 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 upwards.
- Clamp the workpiece.
- Turn on the laser beam using the switch (19).
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.
Setting: (see figure K2)
- Turn the set screw (35) using the cross-headed screwdriver (12) provided until the laser beam is parallel with the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.
Aligning the angle indicator (see figure L)
- Bring the power tool into the transport position.
- Loosen the clamping handle (13) of the angle guide (6).
- Turn the angle guide (6) until it stops at 0°.
Checking
- Set an angle gauge to 90° and position it between the angle guide (6) and the saw blade (31) on the saw table (25).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the angle guide along its entire length.
Setting
- Turn the angle guide (6) until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
- Retighten the clamping handle (13).
- Undo the screw (36) with the cross-headed screwdriver (12) provided and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
- Retighten the screw.
