Always direct the cable to the rear away from the
machine.
Clamp material well. Do not support workpiece
with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor
with the saw running (danger of kick-back)!
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
When switching on, the saw blades may not lay
against, touch or jolt into anything!
When sawing, the base plate 2 must always face
against the work piece.
The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
Always switch off the machine and allow to come
to a stop before placing it down.
When the cut is completed, switch off the ma-
chine and then pull the saw blade out of the cut
only after it has come to a standstill (danger of
kick-back).
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Change any
cracked, bent or dull saw blades immediately.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect functioning of
the machine if the original accessories intended
for it are used.
Optional extra
A selection of the illustrated or described accesso-
ries can be found at the end of the operation manual.
Replacing/inserting the saw
blade
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Wear protective gloves to avoid injury
from the sharp cutting edges of the
saw blade both during assembly as
well as when checking afterwards.
When changing the saw blade, take care that the
blade holder is free of material residue (e. g. wood or
metal shavings).

To insert/replace the saw blade, press the slider 3
downward.
Insert the saw blade to stop.
ake care that the saw blade is held firmly and cannot
be pulled out.
PFZ 600 / 600 E (see figure
Loosen the Allen screw 11 with the Allen key 10.
Insert the saw blade 1 between the stroke rod 9 and
the clamping plate 8.
Take care that the securing pin of the stroke rod 9
engages in the hole of the saw blade (Saw blade
cannot be pulled out).
Retighten the Allen screw 11.
Before putting into operation, check the
saw blade for secure seating.
Initial Operation
Check for correct mains voltage: The voltage of
the power source must agree with the voltage spec-
ified on the nameplate of the machine. Equipment
marked with 230 V can also be connected to 220 V.
Switching on and off
Switching on: Press On/Off switch 6 and retain
Switching off: Press and release On/Off switch 6.
Infinitely-variable stroke rate adjust-
ment (PFZ 600 E / 700 PE)
Light application of pressure on on/off switch 6 re-
sults in low stroke rate. Increasing pressure results
in a higher stroke rate.
Stroke rate preselection
(PFZ 600 E / 700 PE)
The required stroke rate can be preselected (also
during operation) using the thumbwheel 7.
After working for longer periods at low stroke rate al-
low the machine to cool down by running it at maxi-
mum stroke rate and no-load for approx. 3 minutes.
Pivoting Base Plate
(see figure
For adapting to and providing a secure rest for vari-
ous materials, the angle of the base plate 2 is varia-
ble.
