Adjusting the laser
Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be connected to the power supply.
- While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
- 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.
To ensure precise cuts, the laser beams 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.
Checking (see figure S1)
- Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
- Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (5).
- Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade line up with the cutting line.
- Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the tool arm back up.
- Clamp the workpiece.
- Turn on the laser beam using the switch (36).
The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is guided downwards.
Setting (see figure S2)
- Turn the set screw (61) with a suitable screwdriver until the laser beam is parallel to the entire length of the cutting line on the workpiece.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.
