Stationary Or Flexible Mounting; Dust/Chip Extraction - Bosch PCM 8 S Manual Original

Mounting the Saw Table Extension and the
Length Stop (see figure A)
The saw table extension 39 and the length stop
38 can be positioned left or right from the ma-
chine.
– Mount the saw table extension and the
length stop to the requested extension bar
19 as required and tighten the corresponding
wing nut.
Mounting the Extension Bars (see figure A)
For mounting, use the extension-bar fastening
kit 40. (2 U-profiles with screws)
– Tilt the power tool in such a manner that the
extension bars can be affixed to the bottom
side of the saw-table casing.
– Hold a U-profile over a casing fin 41 so that
the drill holes of both parts are in alignment.
– Insert an extension bar through the drill
holes 18, the U-profile and the casing fins to
the stop.
– Tighten the screw of the U-profile to secure
the extension bar.
– Repeat the work steps for the second exten-
sion bar on the other side of the saw-table
casing.
Mounting the Locking Knob (see figure B)
– Screw the locking knob 13 into the corre-
sponding threaded hole below the insert
plates 12.
¢ Always tighten the locking knob 13 firmly
before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can
become wedged in the workpiece.

Bosch Power Tools

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 with Base Unit (see figures D1 – D2)
For mounting, use the base-unit fastening kit 43.
(24 screws with nuts for assembly, 4 screws
with nuts for fastening of the machine, 4 wash-
ers)
– Screw the base unit 42 together. Tighten the
screws firmly.
– Fasten the power tool to the supporting sur-
face of the base unit. For this, use the mount-
ing holes 16 of the power tool as well as the
slots in the base unit.
Mounting without Base Unit (see figure E)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
16 serve for this purpose.

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.
