Stationary or Flexible Mounting
To ensure safe handling, the machine must
be mounted on a level and stable surface
(e. g., workbench) prior to using.
Mounting to a Working Surface
(see figures B1–B2)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
16 serve for this purpose.
or
– Clamp the power tool with commercially
available screw clamps by the feet to the
working surface.
Mounting to a Bosch Saw Stand
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 underlaying long work-
pieces.
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the
transport position.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
1 609 929 T11 | (18.1.10)
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by
dust, chips or workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
– Insert the extraction adapter 36 into sawdust
ejector 33.
– Press the clamp of dust bag 27 together and
mount the dust bag over extraction adapter
36.
The clip must engage in the groove of the vac-
uuming adapter.
– Release the dust-bag clamp again.
During sawing, the dust bag and the extraction
adapter may never come in contact with moving
tool components.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, you can also connect the ex-
traction adapter 36 to a vacuum hose
(Ø 32 mm).
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
