Bosch Professional GTS 254 Original Instructions Manual page 21

Setting Bevel Angles (saw blade) (see figure A)
The bevel angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
– Loosen the locking lever (16) by turning it anticlockwise.
Note: When the locking lever is fully loosened, gravity
causes the saw blade to tilt into a position that corresponds
to approximately 30°.
– Pull or push the hand wheel (18) along the slotted link un-
til the angle indicator (59) shows the required bevel
angle.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (16).
For quick and precise setting of the standard bevel
angles of 0° and 45°, there are pre-set stops ((24)),((22)).
Setting mitre angles (angle guide) (see figure B)
The mitre angle can be set between 30° (left-hand side) and
30° (right-hand side).
– Loosen the locking knob (60) if it is tightened.
– Turn the angle guide until the angle indicator (61) shows
the required mitre angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (60).
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure C)
The saw table expansion (10) increases the width of the saw
table (4) on the right to a maximum of 950 mm.
– Pull the clamping handle (20) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (10) to the required
length.
– Push the clamping handle (20) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Adjusting the parallel guide
The parallel guide (9) can be positioned on the left or the
right of the saw blade. The marking in the magnifying
glass (62) indicates the set distance of the parallel guide to
the saw blade on the scale (1).
Position the parallel guide on the required side of the saw
blade (see "Fitting the parallel guide (see figure f)",
page 19).
Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is not pulled out
– Loosen the clamping handle (43) of the parallel
guide (9). Move the parallel guide until the marking in the
magnifying glass (62) indicates the required distance
from the saw blade.
When the saw table is not pulled out, the marking on the
scale (1) applies.
– To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (43) back
down.

Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is pulled out (see figure D)
– Position the parallel guide on the right of the saw blade.
Move the parallel guide until the marking in the magnify-
ing glass (62) shows (1) 28 cm on the lower scale.
To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (43) back
down.
– Pull the clamping handle (20) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (10) until the spacing
indicator (63) shows the required distance from the saw
blade on the scale (2).
– Push the clamping handle (20) down.
This fixes the saw table expansion in place.
Adjusting the additional parallel guide (see
figure E)
To saw narrow workpieces and bevel angles, you must fit
the additional parallel guide (47) on the parallel guide (9).
The additional parallel guide can be fitted on the left or right
of the parallel guide (9) as required.
When sawing, workpieces can become jammed between the
parallel guide and the saw blade, caught in the saw blade as
it rises and ejected.
You should therefore set the additional parallel guide so that
the end of the guide is between the front tooth of the saw
blade and the front edge of the riving knife.
– To do so, loosen all of the fastening set's wing nuts (48)
and move the additional parallel guide accordingly.
– Retighten the wing nuts.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on (see figure F1)
– Fold up the safety flap (19).
– To start, press the green "on" button (25).
– Drop the safety flap (19) back down.
Switching off (see figure F2)
– Press the safety flap (19).
Overload protection
The power tool is equipped with an overload protection sys-
tem. In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be
overloaded. In the event of overloading, the power tool auto-
matically shuts off the electronics.
Follow these steps to restart the power tool:
– Allow the power tool to cool down for at least ten minutes.
– Press the restart button (26) and then switch the power
tool back on.
