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 transport position.
- Turn the saw table (20) to the 0° detent (27). The lever (24) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure U1)
- Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table (20).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure U2)
- Loosen the clamping lever (8).
- Slide the stop (45) all the way back.
- Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (64) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner (size 10 mm).
- Turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
- Re-tighten the clamping lever (8).
- Then re-tighten the lock nut of the stop screw (64).
If the angle indicators (44) and (5) are not in line with the 0° marks on the scale (4) following adjustment, loosen the fastening screws on the angle indicators using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicators with the 0° marks.
- Bring the power tool into the work position.
- Turn the saw table (20) to the 0° detent (27). The lever (24) must be felt to engage in the detent.
- Remove the left-hand adjustable fence (2)
- Turn the left-hand stop (3) until the standard 45° mitre angle engages at the arrow mark.
- Loosen the clamping lever (8).
- Swivel the tool arm by the handle (13) to the left until the stop screw (65) rests on the stop (3).
Checking (see figure V1)
- Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the saw table (20).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure V2)
- Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (65) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner (size 10 mm).
- Turn the stop screw (65) as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
- Retighten the clamping lever (8).
- Then retighten the lock nut of the stop screw (65).
If the angle indicators (44) and (5) are not in line with the 45° marks on the scale (4) following adjustment, first check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicators once more. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.
- Bring the power tool into the work position.
- Turn the saw table (20) to the 0° detent (27). The lever (24) must be felt to engage in the detent.
- Remove the right-hand adjustable fence (2)
- Pull the stop (45) all the way forward.
- Turn the right-hand stop (3) until the standard 45° bevel angle engages at the arrow mark.
- Loosen the clamping lever (8).
- Swivel the tool arm by the handle (13) to the left until the stop screw (66) rests on the stop (3).
Checking (see figure W1)
- Set an angle gauge to 135° and place it on the saw table (20).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure W2)
- Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (66) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner (size 10 mm).
- Turn the stop screw (66) as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
- Retighten the clamping lever (8).
- Then retighten the lock nut of the stop screw (66).
If the angle indicators (44) and (5) are not in line with the 45° marks on the scale (4) following adjustment, first check the 0° setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicators once more. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45° bevel angle.
- Bring the power tool into the work position.
- Turn the saw table (20) to the 0° detent (27). The lever (24) must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking (see figure X1)
- Set an angle gauge to 90° and position it between the fence (1) and the saw blade (49) on the saw table (20).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (49) along its entire length.
Setting (see figure X2)
- Loosen all four set screws (67) using the hex key (4 mm) (39) and turn the saw table (20) together with the scale (28) until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
- Re-tighten the screws again.
If the angle indicator (26) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (28) following adjustment, loosen the screw (68) using a cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.
