Loosen wing bolt 17. For a smaller cutting depth, pull the ma-
chine from the base plate 7; for a larger cutting depth, push
the machine toward the base plate 7. Adjust the desired cut-
ting depth at the cutting-depth scale 18. Tighten wing bolt 17
again.
When setting the cutting depth, use the reference mark 31 to
the side of the cutting-depth scale 18.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side of the blade
guard 13.
Loosen wing bolt 10. Tilt the saw sidewards. Adjust the de-
sired setting at the scale 9. Tighten wing bolt 10 again.
When setting the mitre angle, use the reference mark 27 (up-
per edge of the holder).
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-
ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 18.
Cutting Marks
The 0° cutting mark 12 indicates the position of the saw blade
for right-angled cuts. The 45° cutting mark 11 indicates the
position of the saw blade for 45° cuts.
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
 Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool.
Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
Insert the charged battery 1 from the front into the base of the
power tool. Push the battery completely into the base until
the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is secure-
ly locked.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the
On/Off switch 3 and then press the On/Off switch 4 and keep
it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 4.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 4 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Run-on Brake
An integrated run-on brake reduces the run-on period of the
saw blade after switching off the machine.
Temperature Control/Overload Protection Indicator
The red LED indicator 16 will help you in protecting the bat-
tery against overheating and the motor against overloading.
When the LED indicator 16 continuously lights up red, the
temperature of the battery is too high and the machine
switches off automatically.
– Switch the power tool off.
– Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.
The LED indicator 16 flashes red, the power tool is blocked
and switches off automatically.
Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
Bosch Power Tools
The power tool will continue to work as soon as the blockage
is rectified.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Switching on the LED Work Area Illumination
The power light 26 lights up when the On/Off switch 4 is
slightly or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be
illuminated when lighting conditions are insufficient.
Working Advice
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material
to be worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are
formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)
The parallel guide 32 enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.
Set the desired cutting width at the outer edge of the base
plate using the scale on the guides of the parallel guide/guide
rail adapter. (see figure D)
Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure F)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide;
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the
auxiliary guide.
Sawing with Guide Rail (see figure E)
The guide rail 34 is used to carry out straight cuts.
Note: Use the guide rail 34 only for right-angled cuts. When
using for mitre cuts, the guide rail 34 can become damaged.
The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from slipping and
protects the surface of the workpiece. The coating of the
guide rail allows the circular saw to glide easily.
Fasten the guide rail 34 to the workpiece using suitable
clamping devices, e.g. screw clamps. Put the power tool with
mounted guide rail adapter on the guide rail.
Note: Mount the parallel guide/guide rail adapter 32 on the
power tool with the Bosch logo facing down.
