The following work steps are required for exact cuts
using the guide rail 27:
• Place the guide rail 27 on to the workpiece project-
ing lightly over the side. Pay attention that the side
with the rubber lip faces to the workpiece.
• Set the circular saw with the premounted guide-rail
adapter 26 on to the guide rail 27.
• Adjust the desired cutting depth and the bevel
angle. Observe the marks on the guide-rail adapter
26 for preadjustment of the various bevel angles;
see figure F.
• Align the circular saw with guide-rail adapter in such
a manner that the teeth of the saw blade 21 face
against the rubber lip. The position of the saw blade
21 depends on the selected cutting angle. Do not
saw into the guide rail.

• Remove the circular saw with the premounted
guide-rail adapter 26 from the guide rail 27.
• Align the guide rail 27 on the workpiece in such a
manner that the rubber lip lies exactly alongside the
cutting edge.
• The guide rail 27 must not extend beyond the
face side of the workpiece where the cut is to
be started.
• Fasten the guide rail 27 with suitable clamping
devices, e. g., screw clamps, on the workpiece. Set
the circular saw with the premounted guide-rail
adapter 26 on to the guide rail.
• Switch the machine on and guide it in the cutting
direction applying moderate and steady feed.
Two guide rails can be connected to one with use of
the connection piece 28. Clamping is carried out with
the four screws located in the connection piece.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

The retracting blade guard must always be able to
move freely and retract automatically. Therefore, always
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean.
Remove dust and chips by blowing out with com-
pressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.
Before use, the oil must be removed again, otherwise
the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces
poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately
after use.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in man-
ufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch
power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please
always include the 10-digit article number given on the
type plate of the machine.
WARNING! Important instructions for connecting
a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to the fol-
lowing code:
1-45°
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth ter-
minal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this power tool, it must be
disposed of safely.
English–7
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and ventilation slots clean.
