Safety Instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from the frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for all-purpose saws

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
• Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise, there is a danger of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
• Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kickback.
• When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill. In this manner, you can avoid kickback and can place down the power tool securely.
• Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
• Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback.
• Only use the power tool with the base plate. If you do not use the base plate, you are at risk of not being able to control the power tool.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Technical Data

Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841‑2‑11.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is: Sound pressure level 89 dB(A); and sound power level 97 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 5 dB.

Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K
determined according to EN 62841‑2‑11:
Cutting boards with saw blade NanoBlade Wood Basic 50: ah, B = 2.5 m/s2, K = 1.5 m/s2.

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions. The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and accessories, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

• Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Inserting/changing the saw blade

• When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protective gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when used for prolonged periods of time.
• Avoid contact with the skin when changing a saw blade and use protective gloves in perfect condition. The saw blade can become hot when in operation for a long time.
• Do not pull on the chain and do not pull the chain off the guide unit.

Always replace a complete saw blade with another complete saw blade. The chain cannot be replaced on its own.

Selecting the saw blade
Only use saw blades that are suitable for the material you are going to cut. The saw blade should not be longer than required for the cut you want to make .

• Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
  • Use only clean saw blades. Make sure that the saw blade receptacle is free of chips and sawdust.
  • Note AdvancedCut 50: It is only possible to insert the saw blade at a mitre/bevel angle of 0°.
  • Use the locking lever (6) to open the cover (7) of the saw blade receptacle. Push the saw blade (8) through the opening in the base plate (3) and insert the saw blade into the saw blade receptacle (17). Make sure that the drive shaft and the end of the saw blade fit in the recess on the saw blade receptacle (17).
  • Close the cover of the saw blade receptacle and lock it with the locking lever. The locking lever must audibly engage twice.
  • The chain of the saw blade is automatically tensioned. If the chain slips through or becomes detached from the guide unit, open and close the cover (7) of the saw blade receptacle.
• Removing the saw blade
  Open the locking lever (6) fully open the cover (7) of the saw blade receptacle. Remove the saw blade.

Anti-splinter guard (see figure B)

• The anti-splinter guard (18) can prevent splintering of the surface while sawing wood. It can only be used at a cutting angle of 0°.
• A saw blade (8) must be inserted to assemble the anti splinter guard (18).
• Push the anti-splinter guard into the base plate (3) from below.
• It is also possible to insert the anti-splinter guard into a fitted depth stop (19) or (20) or the hood (21) of the dust extraction system.
• The anti-splinter guard can also be disassembled when the saw blade is removed.

Depth stop (see figure C)

• The depth stop changes the cutting depth of the saw blade.
• Depth stops can only be used at a mitre/bevel angle of 0°.
• Depth stops (19) (A) and (20) (B) can be fitted individually or one top of each other depending on the required cutting depth.
• Push the required depth stop (adapter A or adapter B) into the base plate (3) from below.
• When sawing, always push the rear end of the base plate (3) onto the workpiece being sawn.

Dust/Chip Extraction

• The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.

• Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity.

• Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.

  • Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
  • Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
  • It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
    The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.

• Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

• Connecting the Dust Extraction System (see figures D−E)

  • To optimise the dust extraction, push the hood (21) into the base plate (3) from below.
  • Insert the dust extraction adapter (23) into an extraction hose (22) (35 mm diameter) until you hear it click into place.
  • Connect the dust extraction adapter (23) to the extraction outlet (14) on the power tool and the extraction hose (22) to a dust extractor (accessory).
  • You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
  • The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
  • When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.

Operation

• Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.
• Never bend the saw blade.

Operating modes

• Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (AdvancedCut 50)

• The base plate (3) can be swivelled to the right to make mitre/bevel cuts up to 45°.
• The anti-splinter guard (18), hood (21) for the dust extraction system and the depth stops (19) and (20) cannot be used while mitre/bevel cuts are being made.
• If necessary, remove these components from the base plate.
• Loosen the wing bolt (15) for the mitre/bevel angle setting.
• Swivel the power tool sideways until the required cutting angle is set on the scale (16). Retighten the wing bolt (15).

Cut Control for mitre/bevel cuts (AdvancedCut 50)
Cut Control enables the power tool to be guided precisely along a cutting line marked on the workpiece. Cut Control includes the viewing window (11) with cut marks and the base (13) for securing to the power tool.

• To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the viewing window for Cut Control (11) has a mark (10) for right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (12) for leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale (16).
• The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is proportional.
• It can also be marked on the viewing window for Cut Control (11) using a non-permanent marker and easily removed again. We recommend making a test cut for precise results.

Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.

• Switching on/off

  • To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (1) and keep it pressed.

  • To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (1).
    Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (1) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

  • Preselecting/controlling the speed

  • You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (1) to varying extents. Slight pressure on the on/off switch (1) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

• AdvancedCut 50: You can preselect the speed using the speed preselection thumbwheel (2) .

  • The required speed depends on the material and the working conditions; it can be ascertained through practical tests.
  • It is advisable to reduce the speed when placing the saw blade on the workpiece.
  • During prolonged periods of use at a low speed, the power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade and let the power tool run at maximum speed for around 3 minutes to cool down.

Working Advice

• Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade becomes blocked.

• Always use a sturdy support when working on small or thin workpieces.

  • Saw with moderate pressure in order to achieve optimal and
    precise cutting results. Applying additional pressure increases performance.
    Put the cover (9) on the saw blade (8) after finishing work in order to protect it.
    Sawing with the guide rail (see figures F–G) (AdvancedCut 50)
    Use a guide rail to extend the base plate and increase the size of the contact surface. You can use the guide rail (27) to make straight cuts. You must fit the guide rail adapter (25) for work with the guide rail (27). Insert the guide rail adapter through the four openings in the base plate (3). from the left or right. Lock it using the locking lever (26).
    The guide rail must not protrude over the edge of the workpiece being sawn into.
    Put the saw with the guide rail adapter (25) fitted on the guide rail (27). Switch on the power tool and push it gently in the cutting direction, guiding it evenly.
    Mitre/bevel cuts up to 45° can be produced using the short side of the Bosch (2 609 255 732) plastic guide rail.

  • Plunge cutting (see Figure H)

  • Plunge cuts may only be applied to wood.

  • Plunge cutting is possible only with a mitre/bevel angle of 0°.

  • Place the power tool so that the rear edge of the base plate (3) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (8) touching the workpiece, and switch it on. When using power tools with speed control, select the maximum speed. Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.

  • As soon as the base plate (3) rests fully on the workpiece, continue sawing forward along the required cutting line.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
• To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.

• Always clean the saw blade and saw blade receptacle dry. Use a fine brush (see Figure I) to remove more deeply ingrained dirt.

The saw blade is maintenance-free. The chain of the saw blade does not need to be oiled.
Clean the saw blade receptacle (17) regularly. To do this, remove the saw blade from the power tool and gently tap out the power tool on a flat surface.

If the power tool becomes very dirty, this can lead to serious faults. For this reason, do not cut materials that generate large quantities of dust from below or overhead.

• In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and install a residual current device (RCD) upstream.
