Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure D)
For sawing close to edges, the base plate 4 can
be offset to the rear.
– Completely unscrew the screws 11.
– Lift the base plate 4 off and offset it in such a
manner that the front screw 11 can be
screwed into the rear bolt hole 14. The sec-
ond screw 11 is not required for sawing with
the base plate offset.
– Push the base plate 4 toward the positioning
pin/mark 15 until it engages and slide the as-
sembly plate with the guide roller 5 forwards
against the saw blade back. Then tighten the
screw 11.
Sawing with the base plate 4 offset is possible
only with a mitre angle of 0°. In addition, the par-
allel guide with circle cutter 18 (accessory) as
well as the splinter guard 10 may not be used.

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 2
and keep it pressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 2, push the
lock-on button 1 toward the right or left.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 2. When the On/Off switch 2 is locked,
press it first and then release it.
After longer periods of work at low stroke rate,
the machine can heat up considerably. Remove
the saw blade from the machine and allow the
machine to cool down by running it for approx.
3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.
Bosch Power Tools
Controlling/Presetting the Stroke Rate
(GST 65 E/GST 65 BE)
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the
On/Off switch 2 enables stepless stroke-rate
control of the switched-on machine.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 2 results in
a low stroke rate. Increasing the pressure also in-
creases the stroke rate.
When the On/Off switch 2 is locked, it is not pos-
sible to reduce the stroke rate.
With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselec-
tion 3, the stroke rate can be preset and changed
during operation.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the ma-
terial and the working conditions and can be de-
termined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when
the saw blade engages in the material as well as
when sawing plastic and aluminium.

Working Advice

When working small or thin work pieces, al-
ways use a sturdy support or a saw table (ac-
cessory).
Check wood, press boards, building materials,
etc. for foreign objects such as nails, screws or
similar, and remove them, if required.
Plunge Cutting (see figure E)
The plunge cutting procedure is only suita-
ble for treating soft materials such as wood,
plaster board or similar! Do not work metal
materials with the plunge cutting procedure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
Plunge cutting is possible only with the mitre an-
gle set at 0°.
Place the machine with the front edge of the
base plate 4 on to the workpiece without the saw
blade 6 touching the workpiece and switch on.
For machines with stroke rate control, select the
maximum stroke rate. Firmly hold the machine
against the workpiece and by tilting the machine,
slowly plunge the saw blade into the workpiece.
When the base plate 4 fully lays on the work-
piece, continue sawing along the desired cutting
line.
