Bosch Power Tools

Controlling/Presetting the Stroke Rate

With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 

3

, the 

stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation.

The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the 
working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.

Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw 
blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic 
and aluminium.

After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine 
can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the ma-
chine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for ap-
prox. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

Starting Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To 

switch on

 the power tool, press the On/Off switch 

2

 and 

keep it pressed.

To 

lock

 the pressed On/Off switch 

2

, push the lock-on button 

1

 toward the right or left.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

2

. When 

the On/Off switch 

2

 is locked, press it first and then release it.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Working Advice



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.



When working small or thin work pieces, always use a

sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).

Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign 
objects such as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, 
if required.

Plunge Cutting (see figure D)



The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable for treat-

ing soft materials such as wood, plaster board or simi-

lar! Do not work metal materials with the plunge cut-

ting procedure!

Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is 
possible only with the mitre angle set at 0 °.

Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 

6

 on 

to the workpiece without the saw blade 

10

 touching the work-

piece and switch on. For machines with stroke rate control, 
select the maximum stroke rate. Firmly hold the machine 
against the workpiece and by tilting the machine, slowly 
plunge the saw blade into the workpiece.

When the base plate 

6

 fully lays on the workpiece, continue 

sawing along the desired cutting line.

Parallel Guide with Circle Cutter (Accessory)

For cuts using the parallel guide with circle cutter 

19

 (acces-

sory), the thickness of the material must not exceed a maxi-
mum of 30 mm.

Parallel Cuts (see figure E): Loosen the locking screw 

18

 and 

slide the scale of the parallel guide through the lead 

17

 in the 

base plate. Set the desired cutting width as the scale value on 
the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking screw 

18

.

Circular Cuts (see figure F): Set the locking screw 

18

 to the 

other side of the parallel guide. Slide the scale of the parallel 
guide through the lead 

17

 in the base plate. Drill a hole in the 

workpiece centred in the section to be sawn. Insert the cen-
tring tip 

20

 through the inside opening of the parallel guide and 

into the drilled hole. Set the radius as the scale value on the in-
side edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking screw 

18

.

Coolant/Lubricant

When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied 
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning



For safe and proper working, always keep the machine 

and ventilation slots clean.

Clean the saw blade holder regularly. For this, remove the saw 
blade from the machine and lightly tap out the machine on a 
level surface.

Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of 
dust from below or overhead.



In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as 

far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently 

and install a portable residual current device (PRCD). 

When working metals, conductive dust can settle in the in-
terior of the power tool. The total insulation of the power 
tool can be impaired.

Lubricate the guide roller 

9

 occasionally with a drop of oil.

Check the guide roller 

9

 regularly. If worn, it must be replaced 

through an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to 
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
