Fitting the transport handle (see figure A1)
– Screw the transport handle (3) into the corresponding
threads with the screws supplied.
Fitting the Length Stop (see figure A2)
– Screw the length stop (46) into the designated thread on
the left- or right-hand side of the saw table (17) with the
screw supplied.
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 B1−B2)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (28) are used for this pur-
pose.
or
– Firmly clamp the base of the power tool to the work sur-
face with commercially available screw clamps.
Mounting on 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 underlay-
ing long workpieces.
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.
Flexible installation (not recommended) (see figure B3)
If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to mount
the power tool on a flat and stable work surface, you can im-
provise by setting it up with the tilt protector.
Without the tilt protector, the power tool will not be
u
stable and can tip over especially when sawing max-
imum mitre and/or bevel angles.
– Rotate the tilt protector (24) inwards or outwards until
the power tool is positioned straight on the work surface.
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
