Bosch PCM 8 S Manual Original página 45

– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece
with reference to the right-hand edge of the
laser line.
Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still in-
dicated correctly (see "Adjusting the Laser",
page 46). The laser beam, as an example, can
misadjust due to vibrations after intensive use.
Position of the Operator (see figure O)
¢ Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in
front of the machine. Always stand aside of
the saw blade. This protects your body
against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the
rotating saw blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the
tool arm.

Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure P)

retighten the locking screw 32.

for its dimensions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Switch on the machine.

Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 25 (wide
workpieces), loosen the locking screw 32 in
case it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate
for its dimensions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 10 far
enough so that the saw blade is in front of
the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly
downward with handle 5.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the
fence 10 and saw through the workpiece ap-
plying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length
(see figure Q)
The length stop 38 can be used for easily sawing
workpieces to the same length.
– Loosen wing nut 54 and position the length
stop to the requested distance to the saw
blade.
– Tighten the wing nut again.
– Position the workpiece against the stop.
Check again with the cutting line marked by
the laser if the length stop is positioned cor-
rectly.
– Saw this and the other workpieces to the
same length according to the work steps in
the section "Sawing".
