Bosch 0 601 513 003 Original Instructions Manual page 18

18 | English
– 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.
Hood (see figure E)
Fit the hood (16) before you connect the power tool to the
dust extraction system.
Attach the hood (16) to the power tool so that the bracket
locks into place on the shock protection guard (11).
Remove the hood (16) when working without a dust extrac-
tion system and for mitre/bevel cuts. To do this, pull the
hood forwards off the shock protection guard (11).
Connecting the dust extraction (see figures F–G)
Fit the extraction outlet (17) in the recesses of the base
plate (5).
Ensure that the cam on the extraction outlet slots into the
corresponding recess of the base plate (5) as shown in the
figure F.
Connect a dust extraction hose (18) (accessory) to the ex-
traction outlet (17). Connect the dust extraction hose (18)
to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (15).
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have con-
nected the dust extraction system.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
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.
Operating modes
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Pendulum action settings
The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.
You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation
using the adjusting lever (7).
Level 0 No pendulum action
Level I Low pendulum action
Level II Moderate pendulum action
1 609 92A 85Z | (05.08.2022)
Level III High pendulum action
The optimum pendulum level for each application can be de-
termined by a practical test. Note the following recommend-
ations:
– Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner
cutting edge.
– Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin ma-
terials (e.g. sheets).
– Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum ac-
tion.
– You can work on soft materials and saw wood in the direc-
tion of the grain using maximum pendulum action.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure I)
The base plate (5) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The hood (16), the extraction outlet (17) and the anti-
splinter guard (15) cannot be used while mitre/bevel cuts
are being made.
– Push the extraction outlet (17) gently upward and pull it
out of the base plate (5).
– Remove the hood (16) and the anti-splinter guard (15).
– Loosen the screw (19) with the hex key (4) and slide the
base plate (5) slightly towards the power cable.
– The base plate has lock-in points on the left and right so
that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set. Swivel the
base plate (5) to the required position according to the
scale (20). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted us-
ing a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (5) towards the saw blade (10)
as far as it will go.
– Retighten the screw (19).
Moving the base plate (see figure I)
You can move the base plate (5) back for sawing close to
edges.
Loosen the screw (19) and push the base plate (5) towards
the mains cable as far as it will go.
Retighten the screw (19).
Sawing with an offset base plate (5) is only possible with a
mitre/bevel angle of 0°. In addition, the parallel guide with
circle cutter (23) (accessory) as well as the anti-splinter
guard (15) must not be used.
Sawdust blower device
The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow
from the sawdust blower device.
Switch on the sawdust blower device for work in wood,
plastic, etc. with a high level of material removal. Do this by
sliding the switch (6) to the "I" position.
Switch off the sawdust blower device when working in metal
or with a dust extraction system connected. Do this by slid-
ing the switch (6) to the "0" position.
