External Dust Extraction
Connect the vacuum hose 30 to a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for connecting to
various vacuum cleaners can be found at the
end of this manual.
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote starting control. The vacuum clean-
er starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Operation
Operating Modes
f Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)
f Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
Loosen the clamping lever 25. For a smaller cut-
ting depth, pull the saw away from the base
plate 14; for a larger cutting depth, push the
saw toward the base plate 14. Adjust the de-
sired cutting depth at the cutting -depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever 25 again.
The tightening tension of the clamping lever 25
can be readjusted. For this, unscrew the clamp-
ing lever 25, and screw it back again turned off-
set by at least 30° in anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side
of the blade guard 1.
Loosen the wing bolts 7 and 15. Tilt the saw
sidewards. Adjust the desired measure on the
scale 6. Tighten the wing bolts 7 and 15 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is small-
er than the setting indicated on the cutting-
depth scale 26.
Cutting Marks
The 0° cutting mark (10) indicates the position
of the saw blade for right-angled cuts. The 45°
cutting mark (9) indicates the position of the
saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It
is best to carry out a trial cut.
Starting Operation
f Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, first push the lock-off but-
ton for the On/Off switch 2 and then press the
On/Off switch 3 and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 3.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 3
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
Reduced starting current
The electronic reduced starting current limits
the power consumption when switching the tool
on and enables operation from a 13 ampere
fuse.
