Dust/Chip Extraction - Bosch GTS 635-216 Professional Originalbetriebsanleitung

– Move the protective cover (3) down until the saw blade
guard (upper metal rail) is parallel with the surface of the
saw table (21).
– Push the clamping lever (36) down. The clamping lever
must be felt and heard to engage; the protective cover (3)
must be securely and safely fitted.
Always check that the blade guard can move properly
u
before use. Do not use the power tool if the blade
guard cannot move freely and does not close immedi-
ately.
Fitting the parallel guide (see figure e)
The parallel guide (5) can be positioned on either the left or
the right of the saw blade.
– Loosen the clamping handle (38) of the parallel guide
(5). This lightens the load on the V guide (39).
– First insert the parallel guide with the V guide into the
guide groove (30) of the saw table. Then position the par-
allel guide in the front guide groove (25) of the saw table.
The parallel guide can now be moved freely.
– To secure the parallel guide, push the clamping handle
(38) down.
Fitting the additional parallel guide (see figure f)
To saw narrow workpieces and bevel angles, you must fit
the additional parallel guide (40) on the parallel guide (5).
The additional parallel guide can be fitted on the left or right
of the parallel guide (5) as required.
Use the "additional parallel guide" fastening set (41) (two
fastening screws, two washers, two wing nuts) for fitting the
guide.
– Slide the fastening screws through the lateral holes on the
parallel guide (5).
– The heads of the screws are used to guide the additional
parallel guide.
– Slide the additional parallel guide (40) over the heads of
the fastening screws.
– Place the washers on the fastening screws and tighten the
screws using the wing nuts.
Fitting the angle guide (see figure g)
– Push the rail (42) of the angle guide (2) into one of the
guide grooves (28) provided in the saw table.
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 h)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (8) are used for this purpose.
Mounting on a Bosch saw stand (see figure i)
Thanks to their height-adjustable legs, Bosch saw stands
(e.g. GTA 560) provide firm support for the power tool on
any surface.
Bosch Power Tools
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.

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.
The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust,
chips or fragments of the workpiece.
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
To prevent the risk of fire when sawing aluminium,
u
empty the lower saw blade cover and do not use chip
extraction.
Cleaning the lower saw blade cover (see figure j)
You can open the lower saw blade cover (43) to remove
workpiece fragments and large chips.
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Turn the power tool on its side.
– Open the base grid (31) (see figure a).
– Gently pull apart the tabs (44) of the lower saw blade
cover and open the lower saw blade cover (43).
– Remove workpiece fragments and chippings.
– Close the lower saw blade cover (43) again, making sure
that the tabs click into place (44).
– Close the base grid (31).
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
