Checking and Adjusting the Basic Settings

To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.

A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work quickly and reliably.

  • Bring the power tool into the transport position.
  • Turn the saw table (10) to the 0° detent (45). The lever (12) must be felt to engage in the detent.
  • Fold out the folding fence (16).

Checking (see figure P1)

  • Position the set square (48) with the 90° angle flush with the saw blade (39) between the fence (8) and the saw blade on the saw table (10).

The leg of the set square must be flush with the fence along its entire length.

Setting (see figure P2)

  • Loosen all hex socket screws (49) with the hex key (28) provided.
  • Rotate the fence (8) until the set square is flush along its entire length.
  • Retighten the screws.

  • Bring the power tool into the transport position.
  • Turn the saw table (10) to the 0° detent (45). The lever (12) must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking (see figure Q1)

  • Position the set square (48) with the 90° angle flush with the saw blade (39) between the saw table (10) and the saw blade on the saw table (10).

The leg of the set square must be flush with the saw blade (39) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure Q2)

  • Loosen the clamping bolt (24).
  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (50) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner.
  • Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the set square is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Retighten the clamping bolt (24).
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (50).

If the angle indicator (30) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (31) following adjustment, loosen the screw (52) using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark. (See figure S)

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (10) to the 0° detent (45). The lever (12) must be felt to engage in the detent.
  • Loosen the clamping bolt (24) and use the handle (4) to swivel the tool arm all the way to the left (45°).

Checking (see figure R1)

  • Position the set square (48) with the 45° angle flush with the saw blade (39) between the saw table (10) and the saw blade on the saw table (10).

The leg of the set square must be flush with the saw blade (39) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure R2)

  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (51) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner.
  • Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the set square is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Retighten the clamping bolt (24).
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (51).

If the angle indicator (30) is not aligned with the 45° mark on the scale (31) following adjustment, first check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator once more. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Loosen the clamping bolt (24).
  • Use the tool arm to set the saw blade to a bevel angle of 0°.
  • Retighten the clamping bolt (24).

Checking

The angle indicator(30) must be in line with the 0° mark of the scale (31).

Setting

  • Loosen the screw (52) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
  • Retighten the screw.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (10) to the 0° detent (45). The lever (12) must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking

The angle indicator(13) must be in line with the 0° mark of the scale (14).

Setting

  • Loosen the screw (53) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
  • Retighten the screw.
