Stationary or flexible mounting

To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
u
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure h)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (8) are used for this purpose.
Mounting on a Bosch saw stand (see figure i)
Thanks to their height-adjustable legs, Bosch saw stands
(e.g. GTA 560) provide firm support for the power tool on
any surface.
Read all the warnings and instructions included with
u
the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol-
low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the
u
power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the
risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport
position.

Dust/chip extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
Capacity
terial wherever possible.
60−100 %
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
30−60 %
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
5−30 %
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
0−5 %
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust,
chips or fragments of the workpiece.
– Switch the power tool off and remove the battery.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
Capacity
– Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
80−100 %
To prevent the risk of fire when sawing aluminium,
u
60−80 %
empty the lower saw blade cover and do not use chip
extraction.
40−60 %
Cleaning the lower saw blade cover (see figure j)
20−40 %
You can open the lower saw blade cover (46) to remove
5−20 %
workpiece fragments and large chips.
0−5 %
– Switch the power tool off and remove the battery from
the power tool.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Tilt the power tool sideways.
– Open the base grid (33) (see figure a).
– Gently pull apart the tabs (47) of the lower saw blade
cover and open the lower saw blade cover (46).
– Remove workpiece fragments and chips.
– Close the lower saw blade cover (46) again, making sure
that the tabs click into place (47).
– Close the base grid (33).
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
External dust extraction (see figure k)
– Firmly insert a suitable dust extraction hose into the dust
extraction adapter (31).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Changing the saw blade (see figures l1−l4)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
