Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the 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.
Switching on/off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2), keep it pressed down and push the locking mechanism (1) to the right or left.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2). If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Working Advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade becomes blocked.
When machining small or thin workpieces, always use a stable base or saw table (accessory).
Saw with moderate pressure in order to achieve optimal and precise cutting results.
When making long, straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm), the cutting line may not be entirely precise. In this case, for
precise cuts, it is recommended that you use a Bosch circular saw.
Plunge cutting (see figure G)
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades. Plunge cutting is possible only with a mitre angle of 0°.
Place the power tool so that the front edge of the base plate (6) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (9)
touching the workpiece, and switch it on. On power tools with stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate.
Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the base plate (6) rests fully on the workpiece, continue sawing along the required cutting line.
Coolant/lubricant
As the material heats up along the cutting line when cutting metal, you should apply coolant or lubricant.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorized to repair Bosch power tools.
Clean the saw blade receptacle regularly. For this, remove the saw blade from the power tool and lightly tap out the
