Setting Mitre And Bevel Angles - Bosch GTS 10 XC Professional Manual Original

Note: Use sufficiently large saw blades. The radial clearance
between the saw blade and the riving knife must not exceed
3−8 mm (max.).
When mounting the saw blade, ensure that the cutting
u
direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow on the
saw blade) matches the direction of the arrow on the
riving knife.
– Fit the clamping flange (61) and the clamping nut (59).
– Turn the clamping nut (59) using the ring spanner (15)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (60) until it en-
gages.
– Tighten the clamping nut by turning it clockwise.
– Reinsert the table insert (32).
– Refit the protective cover (6).
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Transport position and work position of the saw
blade
Transport position
– Remove the protective cover (6), remove the table insert
(32) and place the riving knife (7) in the bottom position.
Reinsert the table insert (32).
– Turn the crank (20) anticlockwise until the teeth of the
saw blade (33) lie below the saw table (17).
– Push the saw table expansion (11) in fully.
Push the clamping handle (18) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Work position
– Position the riving knife (7) in the top position directly
over the centre of the saw blade, insert the table insert
(32) and fit the protective cover (6).
– Turn the crank (20) clockwise until the top teeth of the
saw blade (33) are approx. 3−6 mm above the work-
piece.
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure A)
The saw table expansion (11) increases the width of the saw
table (17) on the right.
– Pull the clamping handle (18) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (11) to the required
length.
– Push the clamping handle (18) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Saw table extension (see figure B)
The saw table extension (10) increases the length of the saw
table (17) to the rear.
Bosch Power Tools
– Loosen the locking screw (38) on the left guide rod.
– Pull out the saw table extension (10) to the required
length.
– To fix it in position, tighten the locking screw (38).
You may need to support the saw table extension when
working with heavy workpieces.
Slide carriage (see figure C)
The slide carriage (2) makes it possible to saw workpieces
up to a maximum width of 350 mm.
It also ensures greater sawing precision, in particular when
used in connection with the angle guide (3) (see "Sawing
mitre angles using the slide carriage", page 43).
– Pull the clamping handle (29) for the slide carriage all the
way up.
This makes it possible to move the slide carriage all the
way to the front or back.

Setting mitre and bevel angles

To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Setting Bevel Angles (saw blade) (see figure D)
The bevel angle can be set between -1° and 47°.
– Loosen the locking lever (26) by turning it anticlockwise.
Note: When the locking lever is fully loosened, gravity
causes the saw blade to tilt into a position that corresponds
to approximately 30°.
– Pull or push the hand wheel (19) along the slotted link un-
til the angle indicator (64) shows the required bevel
angle.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (26).
For quick and precise setting of the standard bevel
angles of 0° and 45°, there are pre-set stops ((28)),((25)).
Setting mitre angles (angle guide) (see figure E)
Note: Use appropriate equipment for making tapering cuts
(long tapers).
The mitre angle can be set between 60° (left-hand side)
and 60° (right-hand side).
– Loosen the locking knob (65) if it is tightened.
– Turn the angle guide until the angle indicator (66) shows
the required mitre angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (65).
For quick and precise setting of frequently used mitre
angles, there are stop screws for 45° (on the left- and right-
hand side) and 0° on the angle guide (3) .
– Loosen the locking knob (65) if it is tightened.
– Fold out the adjusting plate (67).
– Turn the angle guide so that the thread of the required
stop screw is to the right of the adjusting plate.
– Fold in the adjusting plate (67) and turn the angle guide
until the thread of the stop screw is flush with the adjust-
ing plate.
