Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-
shaped chips.
Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing with a parallel guide (see figure F)
The parallel guide (10) allows you to make precise cuts
along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same
dimensions.
Loosen the wing bolt (8) and slide the scale of the parallel
guide (10) through the guide in the base plate (13). Adjust
the desired cutting width as a scale value at the correspond-
ing (30) or (31) cut mark, see the section "Cut marks".
Retighten the wing bolt (8).
Sawing with the guide rail (see figures G–I)
You can use the guide rail (32) to make straight cuts.
The adhesive layer prevents the guide rail from slipping and
preserves the surface of the workpiece.
The guide rail (32) can be extended. To do this, turn the
guide rail (32) 180° and fit both guide rails (32) together.
Press the button (33) to lock them in place. To detach them,
press the button (33) on the other side and pull the guide
rails (32) apart.
The guide rail (32) has two marks on its upper side. Use the
side with the "90°" mark for right-angled cuts, and the side
with the "45°" mark for all other mitre/bevel cuts.
The rubber lip on the guide rail provides an anti-splinter
guard for 90° and 45° cuts that prevents the surface of
wooden materials from splintering when sawn.
The rubber lip adapts to your circular saw during the first
cut, when some of it is sawn off.
Note: The guide rail (32) must be always be flush with the
side of the workpiece being sawn into and must not pro-
trude.
If the guide rail (32) does protrude over the end of the work-
piece, do not rest the circular saw on the guide rail (32)
without holding on tightly to the circular saw. The guide rail
(32) is made of plastic and cannot support the weight of the
circular saw.
Fasten the guide rail (32) to the workpiece using the special
screw clamps (34). Make sure that the curvature on the in-
side of the screw clamp (34) fits in the corresponding recess
on the guide rail (32).
Switch on the power tool and push it gently in the cutting dir-
ection, guiding it evenly.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Bosch Power Tools
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move
freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean at all
times. Remove dust and chips with a paintbrush.
Non-coated saw blades can be protected against corrosion
using a thin layer of acid-free oil. Remove the oil again before
sawing as failure to do so will stain the wood.
Resin or glue residue on the saw blade has a detrimental ef-
fect on the quality of the cut. You should therefore clean saw
blades straight after use.
