The following work steps are required for exact
cuts using the guide rail 29:
– Place the guide rail 29 on to the workpiece
projecting lightly over the side. Pay attention
that the side with the rubber lip faces to the
workpiece.
– Set the circular saw with the premounted
guide-rail adapter 28 on to the guide rail 29.
– Adjust the desired cutting depth and the bev-
el angle. Observe the marks on the guide-rail
adapter 28 for preadjustment of the various
bevel angles; see figure G.
– Align the circular saw with guide-rail adapter
in such a manner that the teeth of the saw
blade 21 face against the rubber lip. The po-
sition of the saw blade 21 depends on the se-
lected cutting angle. Do not saw into the
guide rail.

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.
The retracting blade guard must always be able
to move freely and retract automatically. There-
fore, always keep the area around the retracting
blade guard clean. Remove dust and chips by
blowing out with compressed air or with a
brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protect-
ed against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free
oil. Before use, the oil must be removed again,
otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produc-
es poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade im-
mediately after use.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing 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.
