Switching Off; Practical Advice - Bosch GCM 10 MX Professional Originalbetriebsanleitung

– Use the handle (3) to swivel the tool arm until the angle
indicator (31) shows the required bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retighten the clamp-
ing handle (26).
To set the standard angles of 0° and 45° quickly and ac-
curately, stop screws are provided ex-works ((33) and
(23)).
– Loosen the clamping handle (26).
– Swivel the tool arm by the handle (3) all the way to the
right (0°) or all the way to the left (45°).
– Retighten the clamping handle (26).
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on (see figure K)
– To start the tool, press the on/off switch (4) and keep it
pressed.
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (4) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downwards by pushing the
lever (2).
– For sawing, the lever (2) must therefore be pushed while
the on/off switch (4) is pressed.

Switching off

– To switch off, release the on/off switch (4).

Practical advice

General sawing instructions
Always tighten the locking knob (10) and the clamp-
u
ing handle (26) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the
saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
u
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must
always have a straight edge to face against the fence.
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must
open when the tool arm is guided downward. When the tool
arm is guided upward, the retracting blade guard must close
again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position
of the tool arm.
Bosch Power Tools
Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of
the intended use.
Position of the operator (see figure L)
Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
u
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of
the tool arm.
Permissible workpiece dimensions
Maximum workpiece dimensions:
Mitre Bevel Height x width [mm]
angle angle
at max. height
0° 0° 89 x 89
45° 0° 86 x 67
0° 45° 44 x 95
45° 45° 44 x 67
Minimum workpiece dimensions (= all workpieces that can
be secured left or right of the saw blade using the supplied
quick-action clamp ): 110 x 130 mm (length x width)
Max. cutting depth (0°/0°): 89 mm
Replacing insert plates (see figure M)
The insert plate (9) can become worn after long use of the
power tool.
Replace faulty insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
– Unscrew the screws (46) using the cross-headed screw-
driver (22) provided and remove the old insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws (46) so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the
possible cutting motion.
Sawing (cutting)
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle.
– Set the height of the adjusting screw (30) so that the
workpiece can be sawn through completely.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Push the lever (2) and slowly guide the tool arm down-
wards using the handle (3).
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Adjusting the depth stop (sawing the groove) (see figure
N)
The adjusting screw (30) of the depth stop has to be turned
clockwise if you want to saw a groove.
