Bosch Power Tools

– Tighten the clamping bolt 

16

 with the Allen key 

22

 by turn-

ing in rotation direction 



. The tightening torque is 

6 – 9 Nm, which corresponds to hand tight plus ¼ turn or 
3 graduation marks of the marks

Dust/Chip Extraction



Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.



Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, 
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to 
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause 
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of 
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment 
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– To achieve a high degree of dust extraction, use the vac-

uum cleaner type GAS 25/GAS 50/GAS 50 M for wood 
or GAS 50 MS for wood and/or mineral dust in conjunc-
tion with this power tool.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.

Mounting the Extraction Adapter (see figure B)

Fasten the extraction adapter 

26 

to the base plate 

6

 with the 

fastening screw 

25

.

A vacuum hose with a diameter of 35 mm can be connected to 
the extraction adapter 

26

.



The extraction adapter may not be mounted when no 
external dust extraction is connected. 

Otherwise the ex-

traction channel can become clogged.



Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction adapter. 

Otherwise the extraction system can become clogged.

To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 

26

must be cleaned regularly.

External Dust Extraction

Connect the vacuum hose 

27

 to a vacuum cleaner (accesso-

ry). An overview for connecting to various vacuum cleaners 
can be found at the end of this manual.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being 
worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to 
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Operation

Operating Modes



Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)



Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. 

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be 

visible below the workpiece.

Loosen the clamping lever 

29

. For a smaller cutting depth, 

pull the saw away from the base plate 

6

; for a larger cutting 

depth, push the saw toward the base plate 

6

. Adjust the de-

sired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Tighten the 
clamping lever 

29

 again.

The tightening tension of the clamping lever 

29

 can be read-

justed. For this, unscrew the clamping lever 

29

, and screw it 

back again turned offset by at least 30° in anticlockwise direc-
tion.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle

It is best to place the machine on the face side of the blade 
guard 

4

.

Loosen wing bolt 

11

. Tilt the saw sidewards. Adjust the de-

sired setting at the scale 

13

. Tighten wing bolt 

11

 again.

Note: 

For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-

ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 

28

.

Cutting Marks

The 0 ° cutting mark 

9

 indicates the position of the saw blade 

for right-angled cuts. The 45 ° cutting mark 

10

 indicates the 

position of the saw blade for 45 ° cuts.

For precise cuts, position the circular saw against the work-
piece as shown in the figure. It is best to carry out a trial cut.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery



Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the 
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. 

Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire 
hazard.

Insert the charged battery 

3

 from the front into the base of the 

power tool. Push the battery completely into the base until 
the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is secure-
ly locked.

Switching On and Off

To 

start

 the machine, 

first

 push the lock-off button for the 

On/Off switch 

1

 and 

then

 press the On/Off switch 

2

 and keep 

it pressed.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

2

.

Note: 

For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 

2

 cannot be 

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

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

Run-on Brake

An integrated run-on brake reduces the run-on period of the 
saw blade after switching off the machine.
