Technical Data

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.
