Note: Check the power tool for possible dam-
age.
Before further use of the machine, check that all
protective devices are fully functional. Any light-
ly damaged parts must be carefully checked to
ensure flawless operation of the tool. All parts
must be properly mounted and all conditions
fulfilled that ensure faultless operation.
Damaged protective devices and parts must be
immediately replaced by an authorised service
centre.
Mounting the Locking Knob
(see figure A)
– Screw the locking knob 12 into the corre-
sponding drill hole above the lever 13.
Always tighten the locking knob 12 firmly
before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can
become wedged in the workpiece.

Stationary or Flexible Mounting

To ensure safe handling, the machine must
be mounted on a level and stable surface
(e. g., workbench) prior to using.
Mounting to a Working Surface
(see figures B1–B2)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
16 serve for this purpose.
or
– Clamp the power tool with commercially
available screw clamps by the feet to the
working surface.
Mounting to a Bosch Saw Stand
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 underlaying long work-
pieces.
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
Bosch Power Tools
Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the
transport position.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
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 com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
– Press the clip of the dust bag 27 together
and slide the dust bag over the saw dust
ejector 33. The clip must engage into the
groove of the saw dust ejector.
– Release the dust-bag clamp again.
During sawing, the dust bag and the extraction
adapter may never come in contact with moving
tool components.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
