Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side of the blade
guard 1.
Loosen the wing bolts 7 and 15. Tilt the saw sidewards. Ad-
just the desired measure on the scale 6. Tighten the wing
bolts 7 and 15 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-
ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 26.
Cutting Marks
45
0
The 0° cutting mark 10 indicates the position of the saw blade
for right-angled cuts. The 45° cutting mark 9 indicates the po-
sition of the saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw against the work-
piece as shown in the figure. It is best to carry out a trial cut.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
3 601 EA2 0K./3 601 EA2 0L./3 601 EA2 0F.:
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 3 and keep it
pressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 3, press the lock-on button
2.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 3 or
when it is locked with the lock-on button 2, briefly press the
On/Off switch 3 and then release it.

3 601 EA2 00./3 601 EA2 07./3 601 EA2 001/
3 601 EA2 071:
To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the
On/Off switch 2 and then press the On/Off switch 3 and keep
it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 3.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 3 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Working Advice
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.

Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material
to be worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are
formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.

Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)
The parallel guide 11 enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.
Loosen wing bolt 8 and slide the scale of the parallel guide 11
through the guide in the base plate 14. Adjust the desired cut-
ting width as the scale setting at the respective cutting mark
10 or 9; see Section "Cutting Marks". Tighten wing bolt 8
again.
Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide;
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the
auxiliary guide.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely
and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area
around the retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and
chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-
rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must
be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts.
Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.
