  If the head assembly of your Bosch Saw does not bevel to the desired position, check if the 33.9° stop is engaged. If it is, pull it out and rotate it 90°. Also, the bevel detent override knob setting might be limiting the movement, so adjust the bevel detent override setting.

  If you cannot move the miter adjustment on your Bosch Saw, first check if the lock knob is tightened or the detent is engaged. If so, loosen the lock knob or move it out of the detent. Also, check for sawdust under the table, and if present, vacuum or blow it out, wearing eye protection.

  If the motor of your Bosch Saw doesn't start, first ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out power source issues. Also, check the power source fuse, it should be a 15-Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Worn brushes can also prevent the motor from starting, so they may need replacement. Lastly, make sure the handle is locked into one of the four usable positions.

  If the blade of your Bosch Saw binds, jams, burns wood, or results in rough cuts, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using the saw improperly, so refer to the Basic Saw Operation section. A dull blade can also cause these issues, so replace or sharpen it. Ensure you're using the correct blade, specifically a 12-inch diameter blade designed for the material you're cutting. Finally, a bent blade can also lead to these problems, so consider replacing it.

  If the head assembly of your Bosch Saw does not slide freely or slides during a chop cut, check the slide rail lock knob. If it's tightened, loosen it. If it's not tightened, push the head assembly completely against the stop and then tighten the slide rail lock knob.
