Operation
Operating Modes
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure F)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
Loosen the clamping lever 27. For a smaller cut-
ting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate 12; for a larger cutting depth, push the
saw toward the base plate 12. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever 27 again.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Loosen the wing bolts 7 and 14. Tilt the saw
sidewards. Adjust the desired measure on the
scale 5. Tighten the wing bolts 7 and 14 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is small-
er than the setting indicated on the cutting-
depth scale 28.
Cutting Marks (see figure G)
(PKS 55 A/PKS 66 A/PKS 66 AF)
The "CutControl" 9 viewing window, which
folds out to the front, is used for precise guiding
of the circular saw alongside the cutting line on
the workpiece. The "CutControl" 9 viewing win-
dow has a mark each for right-angled cuts and
for 45° cuts.
The 0° cutting mark (30) indicates the position
of the saw blade for right-angled cuts. The 45°
cutting mark (29) indicates the position of the
saw blade for 45° cuts.
Bosch Power Tools
For precise cuts, position the circular saw
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It
is best to carry out a trial cut.

ton for the On/Off switch 1 and then press the
