▶ Rip Cuts
The combination blade provided with your saw is
for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is cutting
lengthwise with the grain of the wood. Narrow rip
cuts are easy to do with a rip fence (Fig. 14). To
attach optional rip fence, insert fence through slots
in foot to desired width as shown and secure with
the knob.
sure the rip fence does not touch or interfere
with the free movement of the lower guard or
contact the saw blade.
▶ Rip Board Guide
When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence may
not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp or nail a
straight piece of 1" (25 mm) lumber to the sheet
as a guide (Fig. 15). Use the right side of the foot
against the board guide.
To avoid accidents, always disconnect battery pack from tool before cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
▶ Service
NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE.
Preventive maintenance performed by un au-
thorized personnel may result in misplacing
of internal wires and components which could
cause serious hazard. We recom mend that all tool
service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
▶ Batteries
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased tool
performance or significantly shorter running time
between charges then it is time to replace the
battery pack. Failure to do so can cause the tool to
operate improperly or damage the charger.
