Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 04J | (9.1.13)
Assembly
Avoid unintentional starting of the machine. During as-
sembly and for all work on the machine, the power plug
must not be connected to the mains supply.
Delivery Scope
Before starting the operation of the machine for the first time,
check if all parts listed below have been supplied:
– Sliding mitre saw with premounted saw blade
–Material clamp 29
– Allen key 34
Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before further use of the machine, check that all protective
devices are fully functional. Any lightly damaged parts must
be carefully checked to ensure flawless operation of the tool.
All parts must be properly mounted and all conditions fulfilled
that ensure faultless operation.
Damaged protective devices and parts must be immediately
replaced by an authorised service centre.
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 to a Working Surface (see figures A–B)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw fasteners to the
working surface. The mounting holes 25 serve for this pur-
pose.
or
– Clamp the power tool with commercially available screw
clamps by the feet to the working surface.
Mounting to a Bosch Saw Stand
With the height-adjustable legs, Bosch GTA saw stands pro-
vide firm support for the power tool on any surface. The work-
piece supports of the saw stand are used for underlaying long
workpieces.
Read all safety warnings and instructions included with
the worktable. Failure of observing safety warnings and
instructions can lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause
serious injuries.
Assemble the worktable properly before mounting the
power tool. Perfect assembly is important in order to pre-
vent the risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool in transport position on the saw
stand.
Flexible Mounting (not recommended!) (see figure C)
In exceptional cases, when it is not possible to mount the ma-
chine onto a level and stable work surface, it can be set up us-
ing the tilt protector.
Without the use of the tilt protector, the machine does
not stand safely and can tip over, especially when saw-
ing at maximum mitre/bevel angles.
– Screw the tilt protector 22 in or out until the machine is po-
sitioned level on the working surface.
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
reactions 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 connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Always use dust extraction.
– 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 mate-
rials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by dust, chips or
workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains plug from the
socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and correct it.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size Ø 35 mm) can also
be connected to the dust ejector 2.
– Connect the vacuum hose with the sawdust ejector 2.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Changing the Saw Blade (see figures D1 – D4)
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed is
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic
data given in these operation instructions and that are tested
and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.
Use only saw blades recommended by the tool manufacturer,
and suitable for sawing the materials to be cut.
Removing the Saw Blade
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Turn Allen screw 45 with the Allen key (5 mm) 34 and at
the same time press the spindle lock 44 until it engages.
– Hold the spindle lock 44 pressed and unscrew the Allen
screw 45 in clockwise direction (left-hand thread!).
– Remove the clamping flange 46.
– Press locking switch 9 and swing back the retracting blade
guard 11 to the stop.
– Hold the retracting blade guard in this position and remove
the saw blade 12.
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
