Sawing mitre angles with the slide carriage locked
– Set the desired mitre angle on the angle guide (3).
– It must be possible to freely move the angle guide (3) in
the guide groove (9) (to the left or right). If necessary,
loosen the knurled screw (54) to achieve this.
– Follow the work steps set out in the (see "Making straight
cuts", page 44) section
Sawing mitre angles using the slide carriage
– Set the desired mitre angle on the angle guide (3).
– Pull the clamping handle (29) for the slide carriage all the
way up and pull the slide carriage (2) forwards.
– Place the workpiece on the saw table in front of the blade
guard (6).
– Position the angle guide (3) in front of the workpiece in
the left guide groove (9). Lock it in this position by tight-
ening the knurled screw (54).
– Follow the work steps set out in the (see "Making straight
cuts", page 44) section
Checking and adjusting the basic settings
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the stops for a standard bevel angle 0°/45°
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Set the saw blade to a bevel angle of 0°.
– Remove the blade guard (6).
Checking (see figure M1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table
(17).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(33) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure M2)
– Loosen the screw (71). This enables the 0° stop (28) to
be moved.
– Loosen the locking lever (26).
– Slide the hand wheel (19) towards the 0° stop until the
leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its
entire length.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (26).
– Retighten the screw (71).
If the angle indicator (64) is not aligned with the 0° mark on
the scale (27) following adjustment, loosen the screw (72)
using a conventional cross-headed screwdriver and align the
angle indicator along the 0° mark.
Repeat the work step above for the bevel angle of 45°
(loosen the screw (73); move the 45° stop (25)). The angle
indicator (64) must not be repositioned when doing this.
Bosch Power Tools
Parallelism of the saw blade with the guide grooves of
the angle guide (see figure N)
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Remove the blade guard (6).
Checking
– Use a pencil to mark the first left-hand saw tooth that is
visible at the back above the table insert.
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the edge of the
guide groove (9).
– Move the leg of the angle gauge until it touches the
marked saw tooth and read the distance between the saw
blade and the guide groove.
– Turn the saw blade until the marked tooth at the front lies
above the table insert.
– Move the angle gauge along the guide groove up to the
marked saw tooth.
– Measure the distance between the saw blade and the
guide groove again.
The two measured distances must be identical.
Setting
– Loosen the hex socket screws (74) at the front beneath
the saw table and the hex socket screws (75) at the rear
beneath the saw table using the hex key (37) provided.
– Carefully move the saw blade until it lies parallel with the
guide groove (9).
– Retighten all screws (74) and (75).
Adjusting the saw table spacing indicator (see figure O)
– Position the parallel guide on the right of the saw blade.
Move the parallel guide until the marking in the magnify-
ing glass (68) shows 33 cm on the lower scale.
To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (51) back
down.
– Pull the clamping handle (18) all the way up and pull the
saw table expansion (11) out as far as possible.
Checking
The upper scale (1) of the spacing indicator (69) must show
the same value as the marking in the magnifying glass (68)
on the lower scale (1).
Setting
– Pull the saw table expansion (11) out fully.
– Loosen the screw (76) with a cross-headed screwdriver
and align the spacing indicator (69) along the 33 cm
mark on the upper scale (1).
Adjusting the parallelism of the parallel guide (see figure
P)
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Remove the blade guard (6).
– Loosen the clamping handle (51) of the parallel guide and
move it until it touches the saw blade.
Checking
The parallel guide (8) must touch the saw blade along its en-
tire length.
