The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from
slipping and protects the surface of the work-
piece. The coating of the guide rail allows the cir-
cular saw to glide easily.
Place the circular saw directly onto the guide rail
30. Fasten the guide rail 30 with suitable clamp-
ing devices, e. g., screw clamps, on the work-
piece in such a manner that the narrow leg of the
guide rail 30 faces toward the saw blade.
The guide rail 30 must not extend beyond the
face side of the workpiece where the cut is to
be started.
Switch the power tool on and guide it in the cut-
ting direction applying moderate and steady
feed.
Two guide rails can be connected to one with use
of the connection piece 31. Clamping is carried
out with the four screws located in the connec-
tion piece.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the battery venting slots using
a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. Unintentional actuation
of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots
clean.

The retracting blade guard must always be able
to move freely and retract automatically. There-
fore, always keep the area around the retracting
blade guard clean. Remove dust and chips by
blowing out with compressed 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, other-
wise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produc-
es poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade im-
mediately after use.
If the power tool should fail despite the care tak-
en in manufacturing and testing procedures, re-
pair should be carried out by an after-sales ser-
vice center for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the power tool.
