General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provid-

ed with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WARNING

When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following.

Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.

20 | English

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
  ▶ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  ▶ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

▶ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
▶ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
▶ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

▶ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
▶ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
▶ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Mitre Saws

• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
  ▶ Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
  The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
  ▶ Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
  ▶ Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
  ▶ Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
  Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
  Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
  ▶ Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
  ▶ Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.

▶ Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
▶ Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
▶ Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
▶ Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
▶ After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
- Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-back.
▶ Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
▶ Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
▶ Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc. from the sawing area while the machine is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the machine off.

22 | English

▶ Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

▶ Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

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 complete stop.
• Determine the cause of the blockage and correct it.

External Dust Extraction

For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size ∅ 35 mm) can also be connected to the chip ejector 13.

- Connect the vacuum hose with the chip ejector 13.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Changing the Saw Blade (see figures C1 - C4)

▶ When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.

Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.

Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.

Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic data given in these operation instructions and that are tested and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions

For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.

Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of the intended use.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the fence.

Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must open when the tool arm is guided downward. When the tool arm is guided upward, the retracting blade guard must close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position of the tool arm.

Position of the Operator (see figure K)

▶ Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.

- Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.

- Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.

Permissible Workpiece Dimensions

Maximum workpiece sizes:

Mitre/Bevel Angle Height x Width [mm]
Horizontal Vertical
0° 0°	70 x 270
45° 0°	70 x 190
0° 45°	45 x 270

Minimum workpiece sizes (= all workpieces that can be clamped left or right from the saw blade with the supplied material clamp 7): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)

Cutting depth, max. (0°/0°): 70 mm

Replacing Insert Plates (see figure L)

The red insert plates 23 can become worn after prolonged use of the machine.

Replace defective insert plates.

- Bring the power tool into the working position.

- Unscrew the screws 43 with a hex key the old insert plates.

- Insert the new right-hand insert plate.

- Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with the screws 43 so that the saw blade does not come into contact with the insert plate over the complete length of the possible slide motion.

- Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-hand insert plate.

Sawing

▶ Always tighten the locking knob 25 firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.

Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off) (see figure M)

• For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loosen the locking screw 11 if it is tightened. Push the tool arm all the way towards the fences 6 and 21 and retighten the locking screw 11.
• Adjust the requested mitre and/or bevel angle.
• Press the workpiece firmly against the fences 6 and 21.
• Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
• Switch on the machine.
• Press locking switch 17 and slowly guide the tool arm downward by the handle 16.
• Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
• Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
  – Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Sawing with Slide Movement

• For cuts using the slide device 12 (wide workpieces), loosen the locking screw 11 in case it is tightened.
• Adjust the requested mitre and/or bevel angle.
• Press the workpiece firmly against the fences 6 and 21.
• Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
• Pull the tool arm away from the fences 6 and 21 until the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
• Switch on the machine.
• Press locking switch 17 and slowly guide the tool arm downward by the handle 16.
• Now push the tool arm toward the fences 6 and 21 and saw through the workpiece with uniform feed.
• Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
• Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Special Workpieces

When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be especially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.

Provide for special fixtures, if required.

Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment

▶ Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

(4 min) and remove must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use.

English | 27

A certain level of experience and appropriate specialty tools are required for this.

A Bosch after-sales service station will handle this maintenance task quickly and reliably.

Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 0° (Vertical)

• Bring the power tool into the working position.
• Turn the saw table 22 to the 0^ detent 28. The lever 26 must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking: (see figure N1)

- Adjust an angle gauge to 90^ and position it on the saw table 22.

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade 39 over the complete length.

Adjusting: (see figureN2)

• Loosen the lock lever 10.
• Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw 33 using a commercial box-end or open-end spanner (size 10 mm).
• Screw the stop screw in or out until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over the complete length.
• Retighten the lock lever 10 again.
• Afterwards, retighten the lock nut of the stop screw 33 again.

In case the angle indicator 32 is not in a line with the 0^ mark of the scale 31 after the adjustment, loosen the screw 44 using a commercial cross-head screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0^ mark.

Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 45° (Vertical)

• Bring the power tool into the working position.
• Turn the saw table 22 to the 0^ detent 28. The lever 26 must be felt to engage in the detent.
• Loosen the lock lever 10 and tilt the tool arm leftward to the stop (45°) by the handle 16.

Checking: (see figure O1)

- Adjust an angle gauge to 45^ and position it on the saw table 22.

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade 39 over the complete length.

Adjusting: (see figure O2)

• Loosen the lock lever 10.
• Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw 9 using a commercial box-end or open-end spanner (size 10 mm).
• Screw the stop screw in or out until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over the complete length.
• Retighten the lock lever 10 again.
• Afterwards, retighten the lock nut of the stop screw 9 again.

In case the angle indicator 32 is not in a line with the 45° mark of the scale 31, firstly check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator again. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.

Aligning the Angle Indicator (Horizontally) (see figure P)

• Bring the power tool into the working position.
• Turn the saw table 22 to the 0^ detent 28. The lever 26 must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking:

The angle indicator 24 must be in alignment with the 0^ mark of the scale 5.

Adjusting:

• Loosen screw 45 using a cross-head screwdriver and align the angle indicator alongside the 0^ mark.
• Retighten the screw again.

Transport (see figure Q)

Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must be carried out:

• Loosen the locking screw 11 if tightened. Pull the tool arm completely to the front and tighten the locking screw again.
• Bring the machine into the transport position.
• Remove all accessories that cannot be mounted firmly to the power tool. If possible, place unused saw blades in an enclosed container for transport.
• For lifting or transporting, hold the power tool by the recessed grips 4 on the side of the saw table 22.

When transporting the power tool, use only the transport devices and never use the protective devices.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

▶ Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Cleaning

For safe and proper working, always keep the power tool and its ventilation slots clean.

The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean.

Remove dust and chips after each working procedure by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.

Clean the roller 20 regularly.
