Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic
data given in these operation instructions and that are tested
and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.
Use only saw blades recommended by the tool manufacturer,
and suitable for sawing the materials to be cut.
Removing the Saw Blade
– Using the ring spanner 17, lift up the insert plate 3 at the
front and remove it from the notches 36.
– Turn crank 12 clockwise to the stop, so that the saw blade
37 is in the highest possible position above the saw table.
– Turn the clamping nut 48 with the ring spanner 17
(23 mm) and at the same time, pull the spindle lock lever
47 until it engages.
– Keep the spindle lock lever pulled and unscrew the clamp-
ing nut turning in anticlockwise direction.
– Remove the clamping flange 49.
– Remove the saw blade 37.
Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior to assembly.
– Place the new saw blade onto the supporting flange 50 of
the tool spindle 51.
Note: Do not use saw blades that are too small. The clearance
between saw blade and riving knife must not exceed 5 mm
(max.).
 When mounting the saw blade, pay attention that the
cutting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the
saw blade) corresponds with the direction of the arrow
on the blade guard!
– Mount the clamping flange 49 and the clamping nut 48.
– Turn the clamping nut 48 with the ring spanner 17
(23 mm) and at the same time, pull the spindle lock lever
47 until it engages.
– Tighten the clamping nut in clockwise direction.
– Reinsert the insert plate 3. (see figure c3)
Operation
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Transport and Working Position of the Saw Blade
Transport Position
– Turn crank 12 in anticlockwise direction until the teeth of
the saw blade 37 are positioned below the saw table 11.
Working Position
– Turn the crank 12 clockwise, until the teeth of the saw
blade 37 are positioned above the workpiece.
Note: Take care that the blade guard is properly positioned.
When sawing, it must always face against the workpiece.
Increasing the Size of the Saw Table
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Bosch Power Tools
Table Extension/Table Width Enlargement (see figure A)
To increase the saw table surface, the following rails can be
pulled out at the rear as well as on the right-hand side of the
power tool:
Table extension 2 (extends the saw table 11 toward the rear
by 215 mm)
and/or
Table width enlargement 10 (enlarges the saw table 11 to-
ward the right by 285 mm)
– Grasp the requested rail centrally and from below, and pull
it out maximally to the stop.
– To lock in position, tighten the corresponding fastening
knobs (23 or 26) against the guide rods.
For heavy workpieces, it may be required to support the rails.
Sliding Table (see figure B)
With the sliding table 1, workpieces to a maximum width of
350 mm can be sawn.
At the same time, a higher precision is achieved during saw-
ing, especially in conjunction with the angle stop 16. (see
"Sawing Mitre Angles with the Sliding Table", page 35)
– For this, tilt the locking lever 24 toward the right.
In this manner, the sliding table can be moved both toward
the front as well as toward the rear to the stop.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use (see "Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment",
page 35).
Adjusting Mitre Angles (Angle Stop) (see figure C)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 60° (left side) to
60° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 52 in case it is tightened.
– Turn the angle stop until the angle indicator 53 indicates
the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 52 again.
Adjusting Bevel Angles (Saw Blade) (see figure D)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from 0° to 45°.
– Lightly unscrew the locking knob 29 in anticlockwise direc-
tion.
Note: By completely loosening the locking knob, the saw
blade tilts approx. to the 30° position by means of gravity
force.
– Press handwheel 54 toward the rear and hold it in this po-
sition.
This forces the teeth on the connecting link to engage in
the gear ring of the handwheel.
– Turn the handwheel until the angle indicator 55 indicates
the requested bevel angle on the scale 56.
– Tighten the locking knob 29 again.
For quick and precise setting of the standard angles 0°
and 45°, end stops are given at the housing.
