Application Tips; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch GST 100 Instrucciones De Servicio

For the working of sensitive materials, the glide
shoe 12 prevents the scratching of the surface.
To attach the glide show, hook it onto the base
plate at the front, press it up at the back and latch.

Application Tips

Plunge Sawing
Only soft materials such as wood, aer-
ated concrete, plaster board, etc. may
be worked with the plunge method.
Cut-outs in wood are possible without predrilling
by piercing with the running machine. This re-
quires a certain amount of practice, however, and
is possible only with short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the
workpiece and switch on. Press the machine
firmly against the workpiece and plunge the saw
blade slowly into the workpiece.
After reaching the required cutting depth, bring
the machine again to the normal working position
so that the complete surface of the base plate
rests on the workpiece and continue to saw along
the cutting line.
After completing the cut, switch off the machine
first and then pull it out of the cut.

Circle cutter/Parallel guide
(Accessory - see Fig.
With the
guide 18 you can make circular cut-outs or par-
allel cuts in materials of up to 30 mm thickness.
For tight-radius curves it is best to use a narrow
saw blade.
Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the heat
produced along the cut line when sawing metal.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before all work on the machine, pull the plug
from the socket!
Always keep the machine and the ventilation
slots clean.
To prevent malfunctions from excessive soil-
ing, materials that produce large amounts of
dust such as plaster board should not be
worked from below or overhead.
To ensure the long-term flawless operation of
the machine, the SDS saw blade holder
should be cleaned regularly. This can be
done, for example, by lightly tapping the ma-
chine with its foot plate against a flat surface.
In extreme operating conditions (e.g.
when working with non-ferrous metals)
the interior of the machine can become
blocked with cuttings. In such cases it is rec-
ommended to use a stationary extractor, re-
duce the cleaning cycles and connect an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
Guide roller 6 should occasionally be checked for
wear and lubricated with a drop of oil. If, after a
long period, it should display extensive wear, it
must be replaced by a professional or at an au-
thorised Bosch Service Station for electric tools.
If the machine should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorised customer
services agent for Bosch power tools.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders,
always include the 10 digit order number of the
machine!
