Adjusting The Laser - Bosch GCM 18V-216 DC Professional Notice Originale

– Swivel the depth stop (35) outwards.
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (9) into the required
position.
– Turn the adjusting screw (4) until the end of the screw
touches the depth stop (35).
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Sawing workpieces of the same length (see figure S)
The length stop (46) (accessory) can be used for easily saw-
ing workpieces of the same length.
The length stop can be mounted on either side of the saw
table extension (14).
– Loosen the locking screw (47) and move the length
stop (46) over the clamping screw (48).
– Re-tighten the locking screw (47).
– Set the saw table extension (14) to the required length.
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.
Replacing insert plates (see figure T)
The red insert plates (20) can become worn after prolonged
use of the power tool.
Replace faulty insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Loosen the screws (66) using the hex key (5 mm) (44)
and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws (66) so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the new
left-hand insert plate.

Adjusting the laser

Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be con-
nected to the power supply.
While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool
u
arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the
power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Turn the saw table (17) to the 0° detent (27). The lever
(23) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure U1)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the
handle (9).
– 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 back up.
Bosch Power Tools
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Switch on the laser beams using the laser/worklight on/
off button (54).
The laser beams must be flush with the cutting line on the
workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is
guided downwards.
Removing the Laser Protection Cap (see figure U1)
– Loosen the two screws (67) on the laser protection
cap (10) using the hex key (44).
Setting (see figure U2)
1. Adjusting the right-hand laser beam:
– Turn the right-hand set screw (68) using the hex key (44)
until the entire length of the right-hand laser beam is flush
with the cutting line marked on the workpiece.
This also moves the left-hand laser beam.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to
right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from
right to left.
2. Adjusting the left-hand laser beam:
– Turn the left-hand set screw (68) using the hex key (44)
until the left-hand laser beam is the same distance away
from the cutting line marked on the workpiece as the
right-hand laser beam.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to
right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from
right to left.
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.
Setting the Standard 0° Bevel Angle
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
– Turn the saw table (17) to the 0° detent (27). The lever
(23) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure V1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table
(17).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(13) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure V2)
– Loosen the clamping handle (34).
– Slide the stop (43) all the way back.
– Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (70) using a com-
mercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner
(size 10 mm).
– Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg
of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its en-
tire length.
– Retighten the clamping handle (34).
– Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (70).
