tion that it faces against the adjustment screw 6.
Note: Turn the cutter only in the direction indi-
cated in the figure and insert a new cutter only
in the position shown in the figure. Cutting is
not possible with an incorrectly inserted cutter.
Retighten the fastening screw 3 for the upper
cutter and the fastening screw 7 for the bottom
cutter with a tightening torque of 3–4 Nm.
Check the cutter clearance a (see "Adjusting
Cutter Clearance a", page 14).
Upper cutter 4 and bottom cutter 5 may not be
reground.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
