– Mount the clamping flange 23 and screw in the clamping
bolt 24 turning in rotation direction . Observe correct
mounting position of mounting flange 21 and clamping
flange 23.
– Press the spindle lock button 17 and keep it pressed.
– Tighten the clamping bolt 19 with the Allen key 24 by turn-
ing in rotation direction . The tightening torque is
6–9 Nm, which corresponds to hand tight plus ¼ turn or
3 graduation marks of the marks 25 on the blade guard 7.

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 Dust 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 dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– To achieve a high degree of dust extraction, use the vac-
uum cleaner type GAS 25/GAS 50/GAS 50 M for wood
or GAS 50 MS for wood and/or mineral dust in conjunc-
tion with this power tool.
– 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.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter (see figure G)
Fasten the extraction adapter 33 to the base plate 9 with the
fastening screw 32.
A vacuum hose with a diameter of 35 mm can be connected to
the extraction adapter 33.
 The extraction adapter may not be mounted when no
external dust extraction is connected. Otherwise the ex-
traction channel can become clogged.
 Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction adapter.
Otherwise the extraction system can become clogged.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 33
must be cleaned regularly.
External Dust Extraction
Connect the vacuum hose 34 to a vacuum cleaner (accesso-
ry). An overview for connecting to various vacuum cleaners
can be found at the end of this manual.
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.
Operation

Operating Modes

 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
Bosch Power Tools
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)
 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever 30. For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate 9; for a larger cutting
depth, push the saw toward the base plate 9. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Tighten the
clamping lever 30 again.
The tightening tension of the clamping lever 30 can be read-
justed. For this, unscrew the clamping lever 30, and screw it
back again turned offset by at least 30° in anticlockwise direc-
tion.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side of the blade
guard 7.
Loosen wing bolt 15. Tilt the saw sidewards. Adjust the de-
sired setting at the scale 16. Tighten wing bolt 15 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-
ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 29.
Cutting Marks
0° 45°
The 0° cutting mark 12 indicates the position of the saw blade
for right-angled cuts. The 45° cutting mark 13 indicates the
position of the saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw against the work-
piece as shown in the figure. It is best to carry out a trial cut.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery
Insert the charged battery 6 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 2 and then press the On/Off switch 3 and keep
it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 3.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 3 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.
