Saw Blade Storage (see figure A)
Four saw blades with lengths of up to 110 mm can be
stored in the saw blade storage 6. Place the saw
blades with the T-shank into the intended recess of the
saw blade storage. Two saw blades can be placed on
top of each other.
Shut the saw blade storage and slide it to the stop into
the opening of the base plate 7.
Plunge Cutting (see figure H)
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft mate-
rials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards,
etc.!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge
cutting is possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.
Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate
7 on to the workpiece without the saw blade 14 touch-
ing the workpiece and switch on. For machines with
stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate.
Firmly hold the machine against the workpiece and by
tilting the machine, slowly plunge the saw blade into the
workpiece.
When the base plate 7 fully lays on the workpiece, con-
tinue sawing along the desired cutting line.
Parallel Guide with Circle Cutter (Accessory)
For cuts using the parallel guide with circle cutter 34
(accessory), the thickness of the material must not
exceed a maximum of 30 mm.
Parallel Cuts (see figure I): Loosen the locking screw
33 and slide the scale of the parallel guide through the
lead 32 in the base plate. Set the desired cutting width
as the scale value on the inside edge of the base plate.
Tighten the locking screw 33.
Circular Cuts (see figure J): Set the locking screw 33
to the other side of the parallel guide. Slide the scale of
the parallel guide through the lead 32 in the base plate.
Drill a hole in the workpiece centred in the section to be
sawn. Insert the centring tip 35 through the inside
opening of the parallel guide and into the drilled hole.
Set the radius as the scale value on the inside edge of
the base plate. Tighten the locking screw 33.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be
applied alongside cutting line because of the material
heating up.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder regularly. For this, remove
the saw blade from the machine and lightly tap out the
machine on a level surface.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to mal-
functions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce
a lot of dust from below or overhead.
In extreme working conditions, conductive
dust can accumulate in the interior of the
machine when working with metal. The pro-
tective insulation of the machine can be
degraded. The use of a stationary extraction
system is recommended in such cases as well
as frequently blowing out the ventilation slots
and installing a residual current device (RCD).
Lubricate the guide roller 11 occasionally with a drop of
oil.
Check the guide roller 11 regularly. If worn, it must be
replaced through an authorised Bosch after-sales serv-
ice agent.
WARNING! Important instructions for connecting
a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to the fol-
lowing code:
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth ter-
minal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this power tool, it must be
disposed of safely.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in man-
ufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch
power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please
always include the 10-digit article number given on the
type plate of the machine.
