External Dust Extraction (see figure E)
Insert the extraction adapter 9 into chip ejector 20 and turn
the extraction adapter 9 in the direction of the arrow until it
can be felt to engage.
Insert a vacuum hose 17 (accessory) into the extraction
adapter 9. Connect the vacuum hose 17 with a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for the connection of various vac-
uum cleaners can be found at the end of these instructions.
The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle of a
Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote starting con-
trol. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically when the ma-
chine is switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Operation

Operating Modes

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure B)
 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the workpiece.
Loosen the screw for depth-of-cut adjustment 8 by turning in
rotation direction .
Using slider 5, adjust the desired cutting depth (material
thickness + tooth height of the application tool) at the cutting-
depth scale ().
Tighten the screw for depth-of-cut adjustment 8 by turning in
rotation direction .

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, firstly actuate the lock-off button 1
toward the front and afterwards, press and hold the On/Off
switch 2 (see figure C).
Actuating lock-off button 1 releases the plunging device at the
same time, and allows for the power tool to be pushed down.
This makes the application tool plunge into the workpiece.
When pulling up, the power tool retracts back to the starting
position and the plunging device is locked again.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 2.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 2 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Bosch Power Tools

Working Advice

Protect application tools against impact and shock.
Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in the cut-
ting direction. Do not pull the machine toward the rear! Exces-
sive feed considerably reduces the service life of the applica-
tion tools and can damage the power tool.
The cutting capacity and the cutting quality primarily depend
on the condition and the tooth form of the application tool.
Therefore, only use sharp application tools suitable for the
material being worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
When performing lengthway cuts in spruce, long, spiral-
shaped chips/shavings develop. These can clog the sawdust
ejector 20.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing Plastic
Note: When sawing plastic, especially PVC, long spiral-
shaped shavings develop, which can be electrostatically
charged. These can clog the sawdust ejector 20. It is recom-
mended to work with dust extraction.
Guide the switched on power tool against the workpiece and
carefully start the cut. Continue the cut with low feed and
without interruption, so that the saw teeth do not gum up too
quickly.
Sawing Non-ferrous Metals
Note: Use only a sharp saw blade that is suitable for non-fer-
rous metals. This ensures a clean cut and prevents blade bind-
ing.
Guide the switched on power tool against the workpiece and
carefully start the cut. Continue the cut with low feed and
without interruption.
When sawing profiles, always begin the cut from the narrow
side; when sawing U-profiles, never start the cut from the
open side. Support long profiles in order to avoid blade bind-
ing and kickback of the power tool.
Cutting Tiles
 When cutting tiles, observe the statutory provisions and
the recommendations of the material manufacturers.
The diamond cutting disc must be approved for cutting tiles.
Suitable diamond cutting discs are available from Bosch.
 Diamond cutting discs become very hot during opera-
tion; do not touch them until they have cooled down.
The power tool can become very hot in the area of the dia-
mond cutting disc. Therefore, allow it to cool down between
two cuts.
 Tiles may only be cut dry and only using dust extrac-
tion.
The vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extraction of
masonry dust. Bosch provides suitable vacuum cleaners.
