The noise emission value given represents the main applica-
tions of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used
for other applications, with different application tools or is
poorly maintained, the noise emission value may differ. This
may significantly increase noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate noise emissions accurately, the times when the
tool is switched off, or when it is running but not actually be-
ing used, should also be taken into account. This may signi-
ficantly reduce noise emissions over the total working
period.
Assembly
Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. The
u
mains plug must not be connected to the power supply
during assembly or when carrying out any kind of
work on the power tool.
Items included
See the list of items included at the start of
the operating manual.
Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been
supplied before using the power tool for the first time:
– Sliding mitre saw with mounted saw blade
– Screw clamp (7)
– Saw table extension (3) with fastening set (2 x clamping
screws (2), 2 x cross-head screws to prevent the saw
table extensions from being pulled out of the saw table)
– Hex key/cross-headed screwdriver (35)
Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that
all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working
perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the
moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming;
check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit-
ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure
smooth operation must be met.
If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you
must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author-
ised service centre.
Fitting the Saw Table Extensions (see figure A)
The saw table can be extended left and right using the saw
table extensions (3).
– Slide the saw table extensions (3) in as far as they will go
through the holes provided in the saw table.
– Turn the power tool upside down so that you can screw in
the two cross-head screws provided to prevent the saw
table extensions from being pulled out of the saw table.
Screw the cross-head screws into the threaded holes
provided in the saw table extensions (3) and use a cross-
headed screwdriver (35) to tighten them.
Bosch Power Tools
– Turn the power tool the right way round again and screw
the clamping screws (2) for fastening the saw table ex-
tensions (3) in place into the threaded holes provided in
the saw table (22).
Stationary or flexible mounting
To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
u
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure B1)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. Use the holes (1) to do this.
Mounting on 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 underlay-
ing long workpieces.
Read all the warnings and instructions included with
u
the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol-
low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the
u
power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the
risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport
position.
Flexible installation (not recommended) (see figure B2)
If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to mount
the power tool on a flat and stable work surface, you can im-
provise by setting it up with the tilt protector.
Without the tilt protector, the power tool will not be
u
stable and can tip over especially when sawing max-
imum mitre and/or bevel angles.
– Rotate the tilt protector (27) inwards or outwards until
the power tool is positioned straight on the work surface.
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
