Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves)
(see figure R)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a butt
gap is to be sawed.
– Loosen both lock nuts 55 using a commercial
box-end or open-end spanner (size 14 mm).
– Loosen the stop nut 56 and screw the depth
stop 30 all the way up turning in anticlock-
wise direction.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 5 to the posi-
tion at which the requested groove depth is
reached.
– Screw the depth stop in clockwise direction
until the end of the screw faces against the
casing stop 57.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
– Retighten the stop nut 56 first and then the
lock nuts 55.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces,
these must be especially secured against slip-
ping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist be-
tween workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Replacing the Insert Plate (see figure S)
The red insert plates 12 can become worn after
long use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Unscrew the screws 58 using the provided
Phillips screwdriver and remove the old in-
sert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to
the right with the screws 58 so that the saw
blade does not come into contact with the in-
sert plate over the complete length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner
for the left-hand insert plate.

Sawing Profile Strips
Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two dif-
ferent ways:
– Placed against the fence
– Lying flat on the saw ta-
ble
In addition, the cut can be perfomed with or
without slide movement depending on the
width of the profile strip/moulding.
Always make trial cuts with the mitre angle set-
ting first on scrap wood.
Checking and Adjusting the Basic
Adjustment
¢ Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of
the machine must be checked and adjusted as
necessary after intensive use.
A certain level of experience and appropriate
specialty tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service station will handle
this maintenance task quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the Laser
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 17 until it engages at 0°.
– Remove the cover 59. (see figure T1)
Checking: (see figure T2)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the work-
piece.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly
downward with handle 5.
– Align the workpiece in such a manner that
the teeth of the saw blade are in alignment
with the cutting line.
