General Safety Rules

Read all warning notes and instructions enclosed with the sawing station and the power tool to be mounted. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Safety Warnings for Sawing Stations

Pull the plug from the mains receptacle and/or remove the battery from the power tool before making adjustments on the tool or changing tool accessories. Unintentional switching on of the power tool is the cause of many accidents. - Assemble the sawing station in the proper manner before mounting the power tool. Safe guiding of the power tool is possible only when the sawing station is properly assembled. - Place the sawing station on a firm, level and horizontal surface. If the sawing station can slip off or wobbles, the power tool or the workpiece cannot be uniformly and securely guided. Attach the power tool securely to the sawing station before using it. Slipping off of the power tool on the sawing station can lead to loss of control. Take care that the cable of the power tool does not come between the base unit and the guide rail. When the cable is damaged or cut through, there is danger of electric shock. - Remove the power tool before modifying the sawing station or folding up the guide rails. The power tool can fall down, become damaged or cause injuries. Do not use a defective sawing station. Only an intact sawing station can guide the power tool securely.

Ensure that long and heavy workpieces do not affect the equilibrium of the sawing station. Long and/or heavy workpieces must be supported at the free end. Wear protective gloves when cutting tiles. Sharp edges develop on broken tiles and can cause injuries to the operator. Use the saw station only for cutting the materials listed under Intended Use. Marble or granite as well as tiles with a rough surface structure and natural stone tiles cannot be cut.

Operation Sawing

Preparing for Operation

The saw station must be assembled depending on the respective sawing application:

• Sawing Panels (e.g., laminate flooring panels) Sawing Profiles (e.g., baseboards)

The use of screws/bolts is not required.

Panel (cross section) (see figures A1-A3)

• Mount the support extensions 6 left and right to the base unit 1. Depending on the workpiece size, mount the additional supports 7 to the inner or outer guide of the support extensions.
• Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
• Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail leftward and fold the guide rail 4 upward.
• Mark the desired cutting line on the workpiece.
• Place down the workpiece with the visible side flat against the stop of the base unit 1.
• Fold the guide rail downward and align the workpiece to the cutting line of mark 11.
• Lock the guide rail 4 with locking lever 10.
• Tighten the locking knob 3.

Panel (mitre cuts) (see figure B)

The horizontal metre angle can be set in the range from 45° (left side) to 45° (right side).

• Loosen locking knob 12.
• Turn the guide rail 4 left or right until the angle indicator 13 indicates the requested miter angle.
• Tighten the locking knob 12 again.

For swift and precise adjustment of standard miter angles, the guide rail engages at 0° and 45°.

• For additional worksteps, see "Panel (cross section)" on page 19.

Profile (bevel cuts) (see figures C1-C3)

• Mount the support extensions 6 left and right at the front position of the bridge 8.
• Fold the red end stop 9 by 180° to the rear.
• Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
• Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail leftward and fold the guide rail 4 upward.
• Mark the desired cutting line on the workpiece.
• Place down the workpiece flat against the stop of the support extensions 6.
• Fold the guide rail downward and align the workpiece to the cutting line of mark 11.
• Lock the guide rail 4 with locking lever 10.
• Tighten the locking knob 3.
• Adjust the base plate of the jigsaw accordingly to the desired angle. Notes on the adjustment are given in the operating instructions of the jigsaw.

Note: The folded back red end stop 9 is used as the stop for the base plate of the power tool.

Panel (lengthway cuts, recesses) (see figure D)

• Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
• Remove the guide rail 4 and the bridge 8 from the base unit 1.
• Mount the support extensions 6 left and right to the base unit 1. Depending on the workpiece length, mount the additional supports 7 reversed (see figure D) into the inner or outer guide of the support extensions.

Working with the cutting device

Preparation for work

The cutting device can be adjusted differently depending on the specific application:

Cutting panels (e.g., laminate) Cutting profiles (e.g., solid wood)

It is not necessary to clamp with screws.

Panels (e.g., sheets) (see figures A1-A3)

Insert the support surface according to the basic module 1. Depending on the thickness of the part, insert the support extensions 7 into the inner guides of the support surface. - Turn the adjustment handle counterclockwise about 10 turns to adjust the guide. - Mark the cutting line on the part. Place the part with its front side on the support surface. - Adjust the guide so that the cutting line coincides with marking 11. - Tighten the adjustment handle clockwise 10 turns. Then tighten the adjustment handle.

Panels (cutting under the blade in horizontal plane) (see fig. B)

The angle of the cut in the horizontal plane can be adjusted from -45° (left) to +45° (right).

• Release the locking handle 12. Turn the guide rail 4 to the left or right until the arrow 13 points to the desired angle.
• Then tighten the locking handle again to secure the set angle.

For quick and precise adjustment of the standard angles of 0° and 45°, the guide rail has preset stops.

Miter cutting (see figures F1-F3)

Turn the locking handle a few turns to release it. Turn the guide rail to the left or right to set the miter angle. Place the stop 15 in the slot of the base 8 approximately in the middle and push it against the workpiece. - Mark the desired cutting line on the workpiece. Place the workpiece with the marked side up and push it against the stop 15. Tilt the guide rail 4 down and align the cutting line of the workpiece exactly with the edge of the stop 15. Press the guide rail down against the workpiece. - Tighten the locking handle 3. - The guide rail is now locked.

Flat cut (see figure G)

The angle of the cut in the horizontal plane can be adjusted from -45° (left) to +45° (right).

• Release the locking handle 12. Turn the guide rail 4 to the left or right until the arrow 13 points to the desired angle.
• Then tighten the locking handle again to secure the set angle.

For quick and precise adjustment of the standard angles of 0° and 45°, the guide rail has preset stops.

• For additional safety instructions, see "Safety Instructions" on page 172.

Working instructions

Cutting grooves (see figures H1-H3)

- Place the groove cutting tool 14 in the slot of the guide rail 4 and on the stop 15. The arrow on the groove cutting tool must point towards you. Turn the groove cutting tool 14 with a steady motion along the length of the groove. - Remove the groove cutting tool 14 from the guide rail 4. Turn the stop 10 to the left to lock the guide rail. - Place the dust extraction adapter 16 on the rear flat surface.

Place the tool on the cone for cutting, so that the cone is positioned correctly under the cutting line and close to the edge of the tool.

When cutting, you should place the cone under the cutting line slightly inward.

• Press simultaneously with both hands on the side handles of the tool until they click into place.

Safety instructions

General safety instructions

Read all warnings and instructions provided with the sawing device or the power tool that is to be mounted. Failure to follow safety instructions and advice may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Safety instructions for sawing devices

Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery from the power tool before making adjustments to the device or changing accessory parts. Accidental starting of power tools is the cause of some accidents.

Assemble the sawing device correctly before mounting the power tool. Only a flawless construction enables safe guidance of the power tool. Place the sawing device on a firm, level and horizontal surface. If the sawing device can slide or wobble, the power tool or workpiece cannot be guided evenly and safely. Mount the power tool securely on the sawing device before using it. Slipping of the power tool on the sawing device can lead to loss of control. Be careful that the power tool cable does not get caught between the base unit and the guide rail. If the cable is damaged or cut, there is a risk of electric shock. Remove the power tool before assembling the sawing device or folding up the guide rail. The power tool could fall down, be damaged or cause injuries. Do not use defective sawing devices. Only a properly functioning sawing device can safely guide the power tool.

Ensure that long and heavy workpieces do not unbalance the sawing device. Long and heavy workpieces must be supported or rested on the free end. Wear protective gloves when cutting tiles. Broken tiles have sharp edges on which you can injure yourself.

Use the sawing device only for cutting materials listed in the intended use. Marble or granite as well as tiles with a rough surface structure and tiles with natural stone cannot be cut.

Description of functions

Intended use

PLS 300: Together with the power tool, the sawing device is intended for cutting longitudinal and cross sections with straight cuts in boards and profiles made of hard and soft wood, as well as aluminum and plastic. Horizontal bevel angles from max. -45° to +45° and vertical bevel angles from max. 0° to 45° can be set. The sawing device is designed to work exclusively with jigsaws from the Bosch home tool program PST.

Use only saw blades recommended by Bosch (see page 223). If you use too thin saw blades, there is a risk that the saw cut will gradually deviate.

PLS 300 Set, PTC 1: Together with the tile cutting device, a device with a saw for cutting ceramic tiles and tiles made of stone materials up to a maximum thickness of 10mm is intended.

The horizontal bevel angle can be adjusted from a maximum of -45° to +45°.
