Stationary or Flexible Mounting
To ensure safe handling, the machine must
be mounted on a level and stable surface
(e. g., workbench) prior to using.
Mounting to a Working Surface
(see figures a–b)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The mount-
ing holes 3 serve for this purpose.
or
– Clamp the power tool with commercially
available screw clamps by the feet to the
working surface.
Mounting to 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 underlaying long work-
pieces.
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the
transport position.
Flexible Mounting (not recommended!)
In exceptional cases, when it is not possible to
mount the machine onto a level and stable work
surface, it can be set up using the tilt protector.
The tilt protector 6 is used for this purpose.
Never remove the tilt protector. Without the
use of the tilt protector, the machine does
not stand safely and can tip over, especially
when sawing at maximum mitre/bevel an-
gles.

Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Always use dust extraction.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the work-
place. Dusts can easily ignite.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by
dust, chips or workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure c)
For basic dust collection, use the dust bag 8
provided.
Check and clean the dust bag each time af-
ter using.
When sawing aluminium, remove the dust
bag to avoid the risk of fire.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come in-
to contact with the movable machine parts.
– Press the clip of the dust bag 8 together and
slide the dust bag over the saw dust ejector
9. The clip must engage into the groove of
the saw dust ejector.
– Always empty the dust bag in good time.
