Checking and Adjusting the Basic Settings

To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.

A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work quickly and reliably.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (29) to the 0° detent (15). The lever  must be felt to engage in the detent.
  • Pull the lock button (13) up.
  • Turn the adjustment knob (21) slightly to the left and swivel the tool arm from the right to the 0° position until you hear it click into place in the 0° position.
  • Push the lock button (13) back down.

Checking (see figure T1)

  • Position the set square (62) with the 90° angle flush with the saw blade (49) between the saw table (29) and the saw blade on the saw table (29).

The leg of the set square must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure T2)

  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (63) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner.
  • Turn the stop screw (63) as far in or out as needed until the leg of the set square (62) is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Push the lock button (13) back down.
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (63).

If the angle indicator (55) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (56) following adjustment, loosen the screw (65) using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark (see figure W).

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (29) to the 0° detent (15). The lever  must be felt to engage in the detent.
  • Remove the right adjustable fence (19).
  • Turn the right stop (41) until the standard 45° bevel angle engages at the arrow mark.
  • Pull the lock button (13) up.
  • Turn the adjustment knob (21) to the left and swivel the tool arm to the right by the handle (5) as far as it will go.

Checking (see figure U1)

  • Position the set square (62) with the 45° angle flush with the saw blade (49) between the saw table (29) and the right-hand saw blade on the saw table.

The leg of the set square must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure U2)

  • Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (40) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner.
  • Turn the stop screw (40) as far in or out as needed until the leg of the set square (62) is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
  • Push the lock button (13) back down.
  • Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (40).

If the angle indicator (55) is not aligned with the 45° mark on the scale (56) following adjustment, first check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator once more. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.

  • Bring the power tool into the transport position.
  • Loosen the locking knob (12) if it is tightened.
  • Push the lock button (11) down and turn the saw table (29) to the 0° detent (15).
  • Release the lock button (11) again. The saw table must be heard to click into the detent.
  • Remove the adjustable fences (19).

Checking (see figure V1)

  • Position the set square (62) with the 90° angle flush with the saw blade (49) between the fence (18) and the saw blade on the saw table (29).

The leg of the set square must be flush with the fence along its entire length.

Setting (see figure V2)

  • Loosen all hex socket screws (64) with the hex key (24) provided.
  • Rotate the fence (18) until the set square is flush along its entire length.
  • Retighten the screws.

  • Pull the lock button (13) up.
  • Turn the adjustment knob (21) slightly to the left and swivel the tool arm from the right to the 0° position until you hear it click into place in the 0° position.
  • Push the lock button (13) back down.

Checking

The angle indicator(55) must be in line with the 0° mark of the scale (56).

Setting

  • Loosen the screw (65) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
  • Retighten the screw.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Turn the saw table (29) to the 0° detent (15). The lever must be felt to engage in the detent.

Checking

The angle indicator(14) must be in line with the 0° mark of the scale (30).

Setting

  • Loosen the screw (66) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
  • Retighten the screw.
