Bosch GCM 10 MX Professional Notice Originale page 27

For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
u
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of
the intended use.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must
always have a straight edge to face against the fence.
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must
open when the tool arm is guided downwards. When the tool
arm is guided upwards, the retracting blade guard must
close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost po-
sition of the tool arm.
Position of the operator (see figure L)
Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
u
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of
the tool arm.
Permissible workpiece dimensions
Maximum workpiece dimensions:
Mitre Bevel Height x width [mm]
angle angle
at max. height
0° 0° 89 x 89
45° 0° 86 x 67
0° 45° 44 x 95
45° 45° 44 x 67
Minimum workpiece dimensions (= all workpieces that can
be secured left or right of the saw blade using the supplied
screw clamp (18)): 110 x 130 mm (length x width)
Maximum cutting depth (0°/0°): 89 mm
Replacing insert plates (see figure M)
The insert plate (9) can become worn after long use of the
power tool.
Replace faulty insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Unscrew the screws (46) using the cross-headed screw-
driver (22) provided and remove the old insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws (46) so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the
possible cutting motion.
Bosch Power Tools
Sawing (cutting)
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle.
– Set the height of the adjusting screw (30) so that the
workpiece can be sawn through completely.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Push the lever (2) and slowly guide the tool arm down-
wards using the handle (3).
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Adjusting the depth stop (sawing the groove) (see figure
N)
The adjusting screw (30) of the depth stop has to be turned
clockwise if you want to saw a groove.
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (3) into the position at
which the required groove depth is reached.
– Turn the adjusting screw (30) clockwise until the end of
the screw touches the housing stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Special workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, there
should be no gap between the workpiece, fence and saw
table.
If necessary, you will need to manufacture special fixtures.
Working on mouldings
at max. width
Mouldings can be sawn in two different ways:
62 x 130
Positioning of
65 x 91
workpiece
32 x 130 – Placed against
the fence
32 x 91
– Lying flat on the
saw table
Always check the set mitre and/or bevel angle first by mak-
ing trial cuts in scrap wood.
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.
Aligning the fence
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
