What to do if Bosch CM8S blade or lower guard cuts or contacts left sliding fence when saw is set for bevel cuts?
- N
  Nicholas SingletonSep 12, 2025
  If the Bosch Saw blade or lower guard cuts or contacts the left sliding fence when set for bevel cuts, it means the left sliding fence is not moved out from the path of the saw blade before making the bevel cut. Move the left sliding fence to be clear of the lower guard and saw blade; perform a “dry cut” to check for clearances before making bevel cuts.

What to do if my Bosch CM8S Saw motor does not start?

  James FischerSep 14, 2025
  If the motor of your Bosch Saw doesn't start, here are a few things to check: 1. Make sure the unit is properly plugged into a working outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out power issues. 2. Inspect the power source fuse or time delay fuse. It may require a 15-Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. 3. Worn brushes could also be the cause.
