Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is: Sound pressure level 93dB(A); sound power level 106dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3dB. Wear hearing protection! The noise emission value given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measur- ing procedure and may be used to compare power tools. It may also be used for a preliminary estimation of noise emis- sions. The noise emission value given represents the main applica- tions of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase noise emissions over the total working period. To estimate noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off, or when it is running but not actually be- ing used, should also be taken into account. This may signi- ficantly reduce noise emissions over the total working period. Assembly u Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. The mains plug must not be connected to the power supply during assembly or when carrying out any kind of work on the power tool. Items Included See the list of items included at the start of the operating manual. Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been supplied before using the power tool for the first time: – Sliding mitre saw with mounted saw blade (40) – Locking knob (11) – Hex key (17) – Hex key (18) – Screw clamp (19) Note: Check the power tool for possible damage. Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming; check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit- ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure smooth operation must be met. If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author- ised service centre. Extra tools required (not included in the delivery): Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 5RR | (02.07.2020)36 | English – Cross-headed screwdriver – Open-ended spanner (size: 8 mm) – Ring spanner, open-ended spanner or socket spanner (sizes: 10 mm and 17 mm) Fitting individual components – Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from their packaging. – Remove all packing material from the power tool and the accessories provided. Fitting the locking knob (see figure a) – Screw the locking knob (11) into the corresponding hole above the lever (12). u Always tighten the locking knob (11) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece. Stationary or flexible mounting u To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work bench) before use. Mounting on a work surface (see figureb1) – Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to the work surface. The holes(8) are used for this purpose.

– Firmly clamp the base of the power tool to the work sur- face with commercially available screw clamps. Mounting on a Bosch saw stand (see figureb2) (GTA 2500 W, GTA 3700, GTA 3800) 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 underlay- ing long workpieces. u Read all the warnings and instructions included with the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol- low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. u Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the risk of collapsing. – Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport position. Dust/Chip Extraction The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health. Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac- tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain- ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists. – Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma- terial wherever possible. – 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. u Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite. The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust, chips or fragments of the workpiece. – Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the socket. – Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop. – Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it. External Dust Extraction You can also attach a dust extraction hose (35mm dia- meter) to the extraction adapter(24) for extraction. – Connect the dust extraction hose to the extraction ad- apter(24). 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. Cleaning the dust extraction adapter To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction adapter (24) must be cleaned regularly. – Pull the dust extraction adapter (24) off the chip ejector (23) with a twisting motion. – Remove workpiece fragments and chippings. – Reattach the dust extraction adapter to the chip ejector with a twisting motion until it engages above the chip ejector holding ring. Changing the saw blade (see figures c1−c4) u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool. u Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade. There is a risk of injury when touching the saw blade. Only use saw blades that have a maximum permitted speed higher than the no-load speed of the power tool. Only use saw blades that match the specifications given in this operating manual and that have been tested and marked in accordance with EN847-1. Only use saw blades that are recommended by the power tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on the material you want to saw. This will prevent the saw teeth overheating when sawing. Removing the Saw Blade – Bring the power tool into the work position. – Unscrew the locking screw(42) by hand until the link- age(43) can hang down freely. – Loosen the fastening screw(44) (by approx. two turns) using the hex key (4 mm)(17).

Start-up u Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid- ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less. Switching on (see figureL) – To switch on the power tool, first slide the lock-off but- ton(2) to the middle and then press and hold the on/off switch(59). Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (59) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation. Switching off – To switch off, release the on/off switch (59). Starting current limitation The electronic starting current limitation feature restricts the power of the power tool when it is switched on and enables operation using a 16 A fuse. Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after being switched on, this means that the starting current limit- ation and restarting protection mechanisms have failed. The power tool should be sent immediately to an after-sales ser- vice. Practical advice General sawing instructions Marking the cutting line (see figure M) Two laser beams indicate the cutting width of the saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, without having to open the retracting blade guard. – Switch on the laser beams with the switch (60). – Position your mark on the workpiece between the two laser lines. Note: Before sawing, check if the cutting width is still indic- ated correctly Adjusting the Laser. Vibrations during intens- ive use, for example, can cause the laser beams to become misaligned. Position of the Operator (see figure N) u Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback. – Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade. – Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of the glide arm (28). Replacing the Insert Plates (see figure O) The red insert plates (9) can become worn after prolonged use of the power tool. Replace defective insert plates. – Bring the power tool into the work position. – Loosen the screws (61) using the hex key (4 mm) (17) and remove the old insert plates. – Insert the new right-hand insert plate. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 5RR | (02.07.2020)40 | English – Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with the screws (61) so that the saw blade does not come into contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the possible slide motion. – Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left- hand insert plate.

Make sure that the depth stop(30) is pressed all the way in and that the adjusting screw(29) fits through the re- cess without touching the depth stop when moving the glide arm. – Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen- sions. – Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary. – Switch on the power tool. – Slowly guide the glide arm(28) downwards using the handle(1). – Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed. – Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop. – Slowly guide the glide arm(28) upwards. Sawing with Slide Movement (see figure Q) u Maintain a firm grip on the handle before switching the power tool on and during the entire sawing pro- cess. Ensure that the movement of the glide arm is controlled during sawing. The glide arm is very easy to move and a moment of inattention could result in serious injury. – Unlock the glide arm(28). Check if the complete glide mechanism is operative by sliding the glide arm(28) back and forth. – Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen- sions. – Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary. – Pull the glide arm(28) away from the fence(6) by the handle(1) until the saw blade is in front of the workpiece. – Switch on the power tool. – Slowly guide the glide arm(28) downwards using the handle(1). – Now push the glide arm(28) towards the fence(6) and saw through the workpiece with uniform feed. – Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop. – Slowly guide the glide arm(28) upwards. Sawing workpieces of the same length (see figureR) The length stop(36) (accessory) can be used for easily saw- ing workpieces of the same length. The length stop can be mounted on either side of the saw table extension(7). – Loosen the locking screw(35) and move the length stop(36) over the clamping screw(62). – Re-tighten the locking screw(35). – Set the saw table extension(7) to the required length. Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing the Groove) (see figure S) The depth stop needs to be adjusted if you wish to saw a groove or use a spacer. – Swivel the depth stop (30) outwards. – Use the handle (1) to swivel the glide arm (28) into the required position. – Turn the adjusting screw (29) until the end of the screw touches the depth stop (30). – Slowly guide the glide arm (28) upwards. Special workpieces When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es- pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, there should be no gap between the workpiece, fence and saw table. If necessary, you will need to manufacture special fixtures. 1 609 92A 5RR | (02.07.2020) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 41 Working on mouldings Mouldings can be sawn in two different ways: Positioning of workpiece Base moulding Crown moulding – Placed against the fence – Lying flat on the saw table Furthermore, you can cut with or without the slide move- ment depending on the width of the moulding. Always check the set mitre and/or bevel angle first by mak- ing trial cuts in scrap wood. Checking and Adjusting the Basic Settings To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use. Experience and suitable special tools are required for this. A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work quickly and reliably. Adjusting the laser Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be con- nected to the power supply. u While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the power tool accidentally can lead to injuries. – Bring the power tool into the work position. – Turn the saw table (38) to the 0° detent (15). The lever (12) must be felt to engage in the detent. Checking (see figure T1) – Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece. – Slowly guide the glide arm (28) downwards using the handle (1). – Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade line up with the cutting line. – Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the glide arm upwards. – Clamp the workpiece. – Switch on the laser beams with the switch (60). The laser beams must be the same distance away (left and right) from the cutting line marked on the workpiece along their entire length, even when lowering the glide arm. Removing the laser protection cap (see figure T2) – Loosen the two screws (63) on the laser protection cap (27) using the hex key (4 mm) (17). Note: To access the front screw on the laser protection cap, the glide arm must be swivelled down slightly until the hex key can be inserted through one of the slots on the retracting blade guard. Adjusting the flush alignment (see figure T3) – Remove the laser protection cap (27).

1. Adjusting the right-hand laser beam:

– Turn the rear set screw (64) using the hex key (18) until the entire length of the right-hand laser beam is flush with the cutting line marked on the workpiece. This also moves the left-hand laser beam. One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.
