Working Advice

When sawing small or thin workpieces, always use a
firm support.
Contact Protector
The contact protector 13 attached to the casing prevents ac-
cidental touching of the saw blade during the working proce-
dure and may not be removed.
Plunge Cutting (see figure I)
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is
possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.
Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 7 on
to the workpiece without the saw blade 11 touching the work-
piece 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 7 fully lays on the workpiece, continue
sawing along the desired cutting line.
Parallel Guide with Circle Cutter (Accessory)
Parallel Cuts (see figure J): Loosen the locking screw 24 and
slide the scale of the parallel guide through the lead 10 in
the base plate. Set the desired cutting width as the scale
value on the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking
screw 24.
Circular Cuts (see figure K): Set the locking screw 24 to the
other side of the parallel guide. Slide the scale of the parallel
guide through the lead 10 in the base plate. Drill a hole in the
workpiece centred in the section to be sawn. Insert the cen-
tring tip 26 through the inside opening of the parallel guide
and into the drilled hole. Set the radius as the scale value
on the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking
screw 24.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder regularly. For this, remove the saw
blade from the machine and lightly tap out the machine on a
level surface.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of
dust from below or overhead.

Lubricate the guide roller 9 occasionally with a drop of oil.
Check the guide roller 9 regularly. If worn, it must be replaced
through an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent.
The plastic guide plate 6 should be replaced when worn.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by
an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
