Sawing Mitre Angles (see figure L)
– Adjust the requested mitre angle. (see "Adjusting Mitre An-
gles", page 36)
– Place the workpiece against profile rail 34.
The profile may not be on the cutting line. If so, loosen
knurled nut 53 and move the profile.
– Raise or lower the saw blade with the crank 20 so that the
upper saw teeth project approx. 5 mm above the work-
piece surface.
– Adjust the blade guard according to the workpiece height.
When sawing, the blade guard must always face lightly
against the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– With one hand, press the workpiece against the profile rail
and with the other hand, slowly move the angle stop via
locking knob 62 toward the front in guide groove 9.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
Sawing Mitre Angles with the Sliding Table Locked
– Adjust the requested mitre angle. (see "Adjusting Mitre An-
gles", page 36)
– The angle stop must move freely in the guide groove 9 (left-
ward or rightward).
For this, loosen knurled screw 51, if required.
– Follow the worksteps in section "Sawing Straight Cuts" ac-
cordingly.
Sawing Mitre Angles with the Sliding Table
– Adjust the requested mitre angle. (see "Adjusting Mitre An-
gles", page 36)
– Completely pull clamping handle 29 for the sliding table
upward and pull the sliding table 2 toward the front.
– Position the workpiece on the saw table in front of the
blade guard 5.x.
– Position the angle stop 3 in front of the workpiece in the
lefthand guide groove 9. Lock this position by firmly tight-
ening the knurled screw 51.
– Follow the worksteps in section "Sawing Straight Cuts" ac-
cordingly.
Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
A certain level of experience and appropriate specialty tools
are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service station will handle this mainte-
nance task quickly and reliably.
Setting the Stops for Standard 0°/ 45° Bevel Angles
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Adjust to a 0° bevel angle.
– Tilt the blade guard 5.x toward the rear to the stop.
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 32
over the complete length.
1 609 92A 15S | (29.1.15)
Adjusting: (see figure M2)
– Loosen screw 67.
The 0° stop 28 can now be moved.
– Loosen locking lever 26.
– Move handwheel 19 toward the 0° stop until the leg of the
angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over the complete
length.
– Hold the handwheel in this position and tighten locking le-
ver 26 again.
– Tighten screw 67 again.
When the angle indicator 61 is not in line with the 0° mark of
scale 27, loosen screw 68 with a commercially available
cross-head screwdriver and align the angle indicator along-
side the 0° mark.
Repeat the above mentioned worksteps accordingly for the
45° bevel angle (loosening screw 69; moving the 45° stop
25). In this, the angle indicator 61 must not be misadjusted.
Parallelism of the Saw Blade to the Guide Grooves of the
Angle Stop (see figure N)
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Tilt the blade guard 5.x toward the rear to the stop.
Checking:
– With a pencil, mark the first visible saw tooth on the left
side that projects above the insert plate.
– 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 clearance between saw blade and
guide groove.
– Turn the saw blade until the marked tooth projects above
the right side of the insert plate.
– Move the angle gauge alongside the guide groove to the
marked tooth.
– Measure the clearance between the saw blade and guide
groove again.
Both clearances measured must be identical.
Adjusting:
– Loosen hex socket screws 70 at the front below the saw ta-
ble and hex socket screws 71 at the rear below the saw ta-
ble with the supplied hex key 37.
– Carefully move the saw blade until it is parallel to guide
groove 9.
– Retighten all screws 70 and 71 again.
Adjusting the Saw Table's Clearance Indicator
(see figure O)
– Position the parallel guide on the right side of the saw
blade.
Move the parallel guide until the mark in the lens 64 indi-
cates 33 cm on the bottom scale.
To lock the parallel guide, press clamping handle 47 down
again.
– Completely pull clamping handle 18 upward and pull the
table width enlargement 11 outward to the stop.
