tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust,
chips or fragments of the workpiece.
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
To prevent the risk of fire when sawing aluminium,
u
empty the chip ejector and do not use chip extraction.
Emptying the chip ejector (see figure g)
You can empty the chip ejector (32) to remove workpiece
fragments and large chips.
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Loosen the fastening screw (47) using the hex key (22).
– Pull out the chip ejector (32) and remove the workpiece
fragments and chips.
– Refit the chip ejector on the power tool.
External dust extraction (see figure h)
Use the dust extraction adapter (33) provided to connect a
dust extractor to the chip ejector (32).
– Securely attach the dust extraction adapter (33) and the
dust extraction hose.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Stationary or flexible mounting
To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
u
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure i)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (12) are used for this pur-
pose.

Mounting on a Bosch saw stand (see figure j)
Thanks to their height-adjustable legs, Bosch saw stands
(e.g. GTA 600) provide firm support for the power tool on
any surface.
Read all the warnings and instructions included with
u
the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol-
low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the
u
power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the
risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport
position.
Changing the saw blade (see figures k1−k4)
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective
u
gloves. This poses a risk of injury.
Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of
u
which is higher than the no-load speed of the power
tool.
Only use saw blades that match the specifications
u
given in this operating manual and that are tested and
marked in accordance with EN 847-1
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
u
power tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on
the material you want to saw. This prevents the saw
tooth tips from overheating and the plastic you want to
saw from melting.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
u
break.
Removing the saw blade
– Turn the crank (19) clockwise as far as possible so that
the saw blade (27) is in the highest possible position
above the saw table.
– Open the clamping lever (39) and pull the protective
cover (6) out of the groove on the riving knife (8).
– Additionally, for country version 3 601 M30 5C2 :
Press the push buttons (48) and retract the anti-kickback
pawls (9) from the hole in the riving knife (8).
– Use a screwdriver to lift the table insert (26) at the front
and remove it from the tool chamber.
– Turn the clamping nut (49) using the ring spanner (23)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (50) until it en-
gages.
– Keep pulling the spindle locking lever and unscrew the
clamping nut anticlockwise.
– Remove the clamping flange (51).
– Remove the saw blade (27).
Fitting the saw blade
If necessary, clean all the parts you want to fit before in-
stalling them.
