A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the laser
Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be con-
nected to the power supply.
While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool
u
arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the
power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever
(22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure P1)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the
handle (9).
– Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade
line up with the cutting line.
– Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the
tool arm back up.
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Turn on the laser beam using the switch (38).
The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the
workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is
guided downwards.
Setting (see figure P2)
– Turn the set screw (53) with a suitable screwdriver until
the laser beam is parallel to the entire length of the cut-
ting line on the workpiece.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to
right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from
right to left.
Setting the Standard 0° Bevel Angle
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
– Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever
(22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure Q1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table
(16).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(12) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure Q2)
– Loosen the clamping lever (39).
– Slide the stop (42) all the way back.
– Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (55) using a com-
mercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner
(size 10 mm).
– Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg
of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its en-
tire length.
– Re-tighten the clamping lever (39).
– Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (55).
If the angle indicator (41) is not aligned with the 0° mark on
the scale (40) following adjustment, loosen the screw (54)
Bosch Power Tools
using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver
and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
Setting the Standard 45° Bevel Angle (right)
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The
lever (22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
– Turn the stop (29) all the way to the front.
– Loosen the clamping lever (39).
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (9) to the left until the
stop screw (56) rests on the stop (29).
Checking (see figure R1)
– Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the saw table
(16).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(12) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure R2)
– Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (56) using a com-
mercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner
(size 10 mm).
– Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg
of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its en-
tire length.
– Re-tighten the clamping lever (39).
– Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (56).
If the angle indicator (41) is not aligned with the 45° mark on
the scale (40) following adjustment, first check the 0° set-
ting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator once more.
Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.
Aligning the scale for mitre angles
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Turn the saw table (16) to the 0° detent (25). The lever
(22) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure S1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and position it between the
fence (14) and the saw blade (12) on the saw table (16).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(12) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure S2)
– Loosen all four set screws (58) with a cross-headed
screwdriver and turn the saw table (16) together with the
scale (18) until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the
saw blade along its entire length.
– Re-tighten the screws.
If the angle indicator (24) is not aligned with the 0° mark on
the scale (18) following adjustment, loosen the screw (57)
using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indic-
ator along the 0° mark.
Transport (see figure T)
Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must
be carried out:
– Loosen the locking screw (32) if it is tightened. Pull the
tool arm fully forwards and retighten the locking screw.
