Sawing with an Auxiliary Guide (see figure F )
For cutting large workpieces or or straight
edges:
Clamp a board or strip (recommended
Thickness of the lath = 10 mm) tightly to the
workpiece as an auxiliary guide using screw
clamps. Guide the base plate along the auxiliary
guide.
Obs.: When using a lath as guide auxiliary, the
maximum depth of cut is reduced for 56 mm.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
• For safe and proper working, always keep the
0machine and its ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able
to move freely and retract automatically.
Therefore, always keep the area around the
retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and
chips by blowing out with compressed air or
with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free
oil. Before use, the oil must be removed again,
otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade
produce poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw
blade immediately after use. If the machine
should fail despite the rigorous manufacturing
and testing procedures, repair should be carried
out by an authorized customer services center
for Bosch power tools.

Safety instructions

WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in
all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and poorly lit areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
toolscreate sparks which may ignite the dust
orfumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while if you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
