Mounting Individual Components
– Carefully remove all parts provided from
their packaging.
Remove all packing material from the power
tool and the accessories provided.
Mounting the Tilt-guard (see figure A)
Before using the power tool for the first time,
the metal bar of the tilt protector 26 must be
mounted.
– Insert the metal bar of tilt protector 26 into
the drill holes 30 of base plate intended for
this purpose.
– Affix the metal bar of tilt protector with fas-
tening screw 31.
f Never remove the tilt protector. Without the
use of the tilt protector, the machine does
not stand safely and can tip over, especially
when sawing at maximum mitre/bevel an-
gles.
Mounting the Locking Knob (see figure B)
Before putting the chop and mitre saw into op-
eration for the first time, the locking knob 8 (for
locking variable horizontal mitre angles) must
be mounted.
– Remove the screw mounted in the locking-
knob hole for shipping purposes.
– Screw the locking knob 8 into the corre-
sponding drill hole above the lever 9.
f Always tighten the locking knob 8 firmly be-
fore sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can
become wedged in the workpiece.
Stationary or Flexible Mounting
f 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 D1 – D2)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
13 serve for this purpose.
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 provide firm support for the power tool
on any surface. The workpiece supports of the
saw stand are used for underlaying long work-
pieces.
f
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
f Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the
transport position.
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 reac-
tions 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 con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– 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 materials to be worked.
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 com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
