Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that
all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working
perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the
moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming;
check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit-
ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure
smooth operation must be met.
If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you
must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author-
ised service centre.
Fitting individual components
– Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from
their packaging.
– Remove all packing material from the power tool and the
accessories provided.
– For ease of assembly when fitting the tool elements that
are provided, be aware that the power tool is supplied in
the transport position.
Installing Workpiece Supports (see figure A1)
The workpiece supports (24) can be positioned left, right or
in front of the power tool. The flexible connector system en-
ables a multitude of extension or expansion variants (see
figure G).
– Insert the workpiece support (24) into the openings (47)
on the power tool or into the openings (48) of the second
workpiece support as required.
Never carry the power tool using the workpiece sup-
u
ports.
Only use the transport devices to transport the power
tool.
Fitting the Clamping Wheel (see figure A2)
The clamping wheel (45) fixes the selected bevel angle and
is required for safe operation.
– Unscrew the hex nut from the threaded bolts (49).
– Screw the clamping wheel (45) clockwise onto the
threaded bolts (49) and tighten it.
Fitting the Adjustable Fence (see figure A3)
The adjustable fence (26) must be fitted before sawing.
1 609 92A 7BP | (05.12.2022)
– Slide the fence (26) on the right of the saw blade into the
corresponding groove and tighten the locking screw (44).
The levelled side of the fence must face inwards towards
the saw blade.
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 B1−B2)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (13) are used for this pur-
pose.
or
– Firmly clamp the base of the power tool to the work sur-
face with commercially available screw clamps.
Mounting on a Bosch saw stand
With the height-adjustable legs, Bosch GTA saw stands
provide firm support for the power tool on any surface. The
workpiece supports of the saw stand are used for underlay-
ing long workpieces.
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.
Flexible installation (not recommended) (see figure B3)
If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to mount
the power tool on a flat and stable work surface, you can im-
provise by setting it up with the tilt protector.
Without the tilt protector, the power tool will not be
u
stable and can tip over especially when sawing max-
imum mitre and/or bevel angles.
– Rotate the tilt protector (18) inwards or outwards until
the power tool is positioned straight on the work surface.
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-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
