English Safety Instructions General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specifica- tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in- structions 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 (cord- less) power tool. Work area safety u Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. u 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. u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety u 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. u Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat- ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. u Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec- tric shock. u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry- ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. u When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten- sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit- able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7N4 | (25.11.2022)32 | English u If operating a power tool in a damp location is un- avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec- ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Personal safety u 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 inatten- tion while operating power tools may result in serious per- sonal injury. u Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in- juries. u 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 en- ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. u 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 in- jury. u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew- ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. u If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex- traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con- nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re- duce dust-related hazards. u 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 in- jury within a fraction of a second. Power tool use and care u 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 de- signed. u 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. u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re- move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing ac- cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. u 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. u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis- alignment 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. u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. u 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 u 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 u 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. u Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever pos- sible. 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. u 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. u 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. 1 609 92A 7N4 | (25.11.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 33 u Never cross your hand over the intended line of cut- ting 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. u Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to re- move 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. u Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the work- piece 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 work- pieces 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. u 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 con- tact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed. u 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. u Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work sur- face reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. u 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 in- terfere 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. u 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. u 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. u 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. u 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. u Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece be- ing thrown. u 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 re- move 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. u 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. u Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury. u Do not let go of the handle once the saw head has reached the lowest position. Always guide the saw head back to the top position by hand. There is a risk of injury if the saw head moves in an uncontrolled manner. u Keep your work area clean. Material mixtures are partic- ularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or ex- plode. u 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 kickback. u Do not use saw blades made from high speed steel (HSS). Such saw blades can easily break. u Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. u Never remove cuttings, wood chips, etc. from the cut- ting area while the power tool is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the power tool off. u 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 an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au- thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Permitted workpiece dimensions (maximum/minimum): (see "Permissible workpiece dimensions", page41) Noise Information Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-3-9. 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.

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. Self-generated dust extraction (seefigured) For basic chip collection, use the dust bag(1) provided. – Place the dust bag(1) onto the extraction adapter(35) and turn so that the pin of the extraction adapter locks in place in the recess of the dust bag. During sawing, the dust bag must not come into contact with moving tool components. Always empty the dust bag in good time. u Check and clean the dust bag each time after using. u When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag to avoid the risk of fire. External Dust Extraction You can also attach a dust extraction hose (mm diameter) to the extraction adapter(35) for extraction. – Connect the dust extraction hose to the extraction adapter(35). 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 (35) must be cleaned regularly. – Pull the dust extraction adapter (35) off the chip ejector (36) 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 e1−e4) u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7N4 | (25.11.2022)38 | English 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.

The workpiece support on the saw table can be extended left and right using the extension bar (16). – Push the clamping lever (18) inwards. – Pull out the extension bar (16) to the required length (maximum 204 mm). – To lock the extension bar in place, push the clamping lever (18) back out. Moving the fence (see figuresD–E) When sawing mitre and/or bevel angles, you have to pull the left-hand or right-hand adjustable fence(7) outwards depending on the cutting direction, or remove it completely. Bevel angle Mitre angle 0°–47° (left) ≤ 44° (right/left) – Loosen the locking screw(46). – Pull the left-hand adjustable fence(7) all the way out. 0°–47° (left) ≥ 45° (right/left) – Loosen the locking screw(46). – Pull the left-hand adjustable fence(7) all the way out. – Lift the adjustable fence upwards and out of the way. – Remove the locking screw(46). 0°–47° (right) ≤ 44° (right/left) – Loosen the locking screw(46). – Pull the right-hand adjustable fence(7) all the way out. – Lift the adjustable fence upwards and out of the way. 0°–47° (right) ≥ 45° (right/left) Adjusting the damping of the glide arm (see figureF) The glide mechanism of the glide arm(23) is preset at the factory and is not damped when the power tool is delivered. The damping of the glide mechanism can be adjusted using the damper(47): Hard – for more controlled work movements; Soft – for fast saw cuts. – For softer damping, loosen the two set screws(48) using the hex key (4 mm)(30) – or – tighten the two set screws(48) for harder damping. Clamping the Workpiece (see figure G) To ensure maximum safety while working, the workpiece must always be firmly clamped. Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp firmly. – Press the workpiece firmly against the fence (8). – Insert the supplied screw clamp (19) into one of the holes (49) intended for this purpose. – Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod (50). Setting mitre and bevel angles 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. u Always tighten the locking knob (11) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece. Adjusting the horizontal mitre angle Setting Standard Mitre Angles (see figure H) For quick and precise setting of commonly used mitre angles, detents (14) are provided on the saw table: Leftward Rightward
