Detent Override - Bosch 5412L Operating Instructions Manual

Basic Saw Operations
Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override feature allows the detent
action to be locked out, allowing for micro adjust-
ments at any miter angle. When the desired miter
angle is to close to a standard mitering angle that has
a detent slot, this feature prevents the wedge on the
miter arm from slipping into the detent slot on the
base.
1. Lift and hold the miter detent lever (under base
arm).
2. Push the detent override clip forward and latch in
place over edge. Release miter detent lever
(Figure 24).
3. Move miter arm to any position on the miter scale.
4. Lock the miter lock knob to retain miter position.
To Disengage:
5. Loosen miter lock knob and lift the miter detent
lever to release the detent override clip. The clip
should automatically disengage and the table
should lock into any desired miter detent.

Sliding Fences and Base Extensions
So as to provide sufficient (mini-
mum 6") spacing from hand to saw
blade, extend the sliding fences and base extensions
when making extreme bevel, miter or compound
cuts.
The base extensions can also be used to provide
extra support for long workpieces.
Sliding Base:
1. Loosen the base extension clamping levers
(Figure 25).
2. Extend sliding base extensions to the desired
position.
3. Press the levers down to clamp the extensions
into place.
Sliding Fence:
1. Loosen the fence locking knobs (behind fence).
2. Slide fence to proper position.
3. Tighten knobs to lock fence into place.
To Temporarily Remove Sliding Fence:
Some extreme compound angles make it necessary
to remove one of the sliding fences.
1. Unscrew fence knob until at least 1/2" of thread
shows.
2. Slide fence to its centermost position.
3. Lift fence to remove.
4. Tighten knob
After the cut is complete, reinstall the sliding fence.
To reinstall the sliding fence, reverse this procedure.
During transportation, sliding base
extensions and fences should
always be secured in the fully closed position.
