Assembly
Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. The
u
mains plug must not be connected to the power supply
during assembly or when carrying out any kind of
work on the power tool.
Items Included
See the list of items included at the start of
the operating manual.
Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been
supplied before using the power tool for the first time:
– Sliding mitre saw with mounted saw blade (39)
– Locking knob (11)
– Hex key (16)
– Hex key (17)
– Screw clamp (18)
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.
Extra tools required (not included in the delivery):
– Cross-headed screwdriver
– Open-ended spanner (size: 8 mm)
– Ring spanner, open-ended spanner or socket spanner
(sizes: 10 mm and 17 mm)
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.
Fitting the locking knob (see figure a)
– Screw the locking knob (11) into the corresponding hole
above the lever (12).
Always tighten the locking knob (11) firmly before
u
sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in
the workpiece.
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.
1 609 92A 5RS | (23.06.2020)
Mounting on a work surface (see figure b1)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (8) are used for this purpose.
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
(see figure b2)
(GTA 2500 W, GTA 3700, GTA 3800)
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.
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.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
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 pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
External Dust Extraction
You can also attach a dust extraction hose (35 mm dia-
meter) to the extraction adapter (23) for extraction.
– Connect the dust extraction hose to the extraction ad-
apter (23).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
