Switching Off; Starting Current Limitation; Practical Advice - Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional Manual Original

– Loosen the clamping handle (13).
– Use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (28) to the left
until the angle indicator (33) shows the required bevel
angle.
– Hold the glide arm (28) in this position and retighten the
clamping handle (13).
The clamping force of the clamping handle must hold the
glide arm securely in place at any bevel angle.
Setting the Right-hand Bevel Angle Range (0° to 45°)
(see figure J)
– Pull the right-hand adjustable fence (5) all the way out.
– Loosen the clamping handle (13).
– Use the handle (1) to tilt the glide arm (28) slightly to the
left from the 0° position and turn the rotary knob (39) un-
til the required bevel angle range is shown.
– Use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (28) to the
right until the angle indicator (21) shows the required
bevel angle.
– Hold the glide arm (28) in this position and retighten the
clamping handle (13).
The clamping force of the clamping handle must hold the
glide arm securely in place at any bevel angle.
Setting the Standard 0° bevel angle
To enable the standard 0° bevel angle to be reset
easily, the rotary knob (39) engages in the left-
hand bevel angle range.
– Swivel the glide arm (28) from the right to the 0° position.
Setting the entire bevel angle range (–47° to +47°)
– Pull both adjustable fences (5) all the way out.
– Loosen the clamping handle (13).
– Use the handle (1) to tilt the glide arm (28) slightly to the
left from the 0° position and turn the rotary knob (39) un-
til the required bevel angle range is shown.
– Use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (28) to the left
or right until the angle indicator (33) or (21) shows the
required bevel angle.
– Hold the glide arm (28) in this position and retighten the
clamping handle (13).
The clamping force of the clamping handle must hold the
glide arm securely in place at any bevel angle.
Setting the Standard 22.5° Bevel Angle (see figure K)
Pull the adjustment knob (34) all the way out and turn it 90°.
Then use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (28) until
you hear the glide arm engage.
Bosch Power Tools
Start-up
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on (see figure L)
– To switch on the power tool, first slide the lock-off but-
ton (2) to the middle and then press and hold the on/off
switch (59).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (59) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Switching off

– To switch off, release the on/off switch (59).

Starting current limitation

The electronic starting current limitation feature restricts the
power of the power tool when it is switched on and enables
operation using a 16 A fuse.
Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after
being switched on, this means that the starting current limit-
ation and restarting protection mechanisms have failed. The
power tool should be sent immediately to an after-sales ser-
vice.

Practical advice

General sawing instructions
Marking the cutting line (see figure M)
Two laser beams indicate the cutting width of the saw blade.
This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing,
without having to open the retracting blade guard.
– Switch on the laser beams with the switch (60).
– Position your mark on the workpiece between the two
laser lines.
Note: Before sawing, check if the cutting width is still indic-
ated correctly Adjusting the Laser. Vibrations during intens-
ive use, for example, can cause the laser beams to become
misaligned.
Position of the Operator (see figure N)
Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
u
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of
the glide arm (28).
Replacing the Insert Plates (see figure O)
The red insert plates (9) can become worn after prolonged
use of the power tool.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Loosen the screws (61) using the hex key (4 mm) (17)
and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
