Stationary or flexible mounting
u To ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure k)
– Use suitable screw fasteners to secure the power tool to
the work surface. The holes (16) are used for this pur-
pose.
Mounting on a Bosch saw stand (see figure l)
Thanks to their height-adjustable legs, Bosch saw stands
(e.g. GTA 6000) provide firm support for the power tool on
any surface.
u Read all the warnings and instructions included with
the saw stand. Failure to observe the warnings and fol-
low instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
u Assemble the saw stand properly before mounting the
power tool. Correct assembly is important to prevent the
risk of collapsing.
– Mount the power tool on the saw stand in the transport
position.
Changing the saw blade (see figures m1−m4)
u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u When mounting the saw blade, wear protective
gloves. This poses a risk of injury.
u Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of
which is higher than the no-load speed of the power
tool.
u Only use saw blades that match the specifications
given in this operating manual and that are tested and
marked in accordance with EN 847-1
u Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
power tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on
the material you want to saw. This prevents the saw
tooth tips from overheating and the plastic you want to
saw from melting.
u Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
power tool manufacturer and are suitable for using on
the material you want to saw.
u Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
break.
Removing the saw blade
– Turn the crank (20) clockwise as far as possible so that
the saw blade (33) is in the highest possible position
above the saw table.
– Open the clamping lever (49) and pull the protective
cover (6) out of the groove on the riving knife (7).
– Use a screwdriver to lift the table insert (32) at the front
and remove it from the tool chamber.
– Turn the clamping nut (59) using the ring spanner (15)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (60) until it en-
gages.
– Keep pulling the spindle locking lever and unscrew the
clamping nut anti-clockwise.
– Remove the clamping flange (61).
– Remove the saw blade (33).
Fitting the saw blade
If required, clean all the parts you want to fit before installing
them.
– Place the new saw blade on the mounting flange (62) of
the tool spindle (63).
Note: Use sufficiently large saw blades. The radial clearance
between the saw blade and the riving knife must not exceed
3−8mm (max.).
u When mounting the saw blade, ensure that the cutting
direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow on the
saw blade) matches the direction of the arrow on the
riving knife.
– Fit the clamping flange (61) and the clamping nut (59).
– Turn the clamping nut (59) using the ring spanner (15)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (60) until it en-
gages.
– Tighten the clamping nut by turning it clockwise.
– Reinsert the table insert (32).
– Refit the protective cover (6).
Operation
u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Transport position and work position of the saw
blade
Transport position
– Remove the protective cover (6), remove the table insert
(32) and place the riving knife (7) in the bottom position.
Reinsert the table insert (32).
– Turn the crank (20) anticlockwise until the teeth of the
saw blade (33) lie below the saw table (17).
– Push the saw table expansion (11) in fully.
Push the clamping handle (18) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Work position
– Position the riving knife (7) in the top position directly
over the centre of the saw blade, insert the table insert
(32) and fit the protective cover (6).
– Turn the crank (20) clockwise until the top teeth of the
saw blade (33) are approx. 3−6mm above the work-
piece.
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure A)
The saw table expansion (11) increases the width of the saw
table (17) on the right.
