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 in- 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 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 that may ignite 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 the 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 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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. oose clothes, jewelry, 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. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from 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 at 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 and 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 circular saws
Cutting procedures

• DANGER : Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing a loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed, or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top the surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backward, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kick back from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Guard function
Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the guard does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make sure that the guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, at all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing a “plunge cut”. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kickback.
Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on the bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backward,  cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
Additional safety warnings
Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
Do not use the saw above the level of your head. Doing so will mean you have inadequate control of 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.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
Do not operate the power tool when stationary. It is not suitable for operation with a saw table.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
Do not see any ferrous metals. Hot chips may ignite the dust extractor.
Wear a dust mask.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with an internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorized customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.  The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into the main socket elsewhere.
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 .

Technical data

Weight according to
EPTA-Procedure 01:2014| kg| 4.7
Protection class| | / II

The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific models.
Noise/vibration information

Noise emission values were determined according to EN 62841-2-5.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is: Sound pressure level 92 dB(A); sound power level 103 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-5:
Sawing wood: ah < 2.5 m/s 2 , K = 1.5 m/s 2
Sawing metal: ah < 2.5 m/s 2 , K = 1.5 m/s 2
The vibration level and noise emission value is given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardized 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 ain pplications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and oise 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 application tools, keeping their hands warm,  and organizing workflows correctly.

Fitting
Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of which is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Inserting/changing the circular saw blade

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade.
The danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Do not use abrasive wheels as the application tool under any circumstances.
Only use saw blades that match the specifications given in this operating manual and that is tested and marked in accordance with EN 847-1
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the end of these operating instructions.

Removing the saw blade (see figure A)
Set the maximum cutting depth, (see “Setting the cutting depth (see figures B–C) “, page 18). To change tools, we recommend that you place the power tool down on the front side of the motor housing.
– Turn the lever (3) to the front.
– Slide the lock-off switch (2) forwards and press the saw into the base plate (7) until this engages in the position for the saw blade change.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button ( 25).

Do not press the spindle lock button (25) while the
saw spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged if this happens.
– Use the hex key (5) to undo the clamping bolt (20) in the rotational direction ➊.
– Remove the clamping flange (21) and the saw blade (22) from the saw spindle (26).
Fitting the saw blade (see figure A)
Set the maximum cutting depth, (see “Setting the cutting depth (see figures B–C)”, page 18).
To change tools, we recommend that you place the power tool down on the front side of the motor housing.
– Flip the lever (3) forwards.
– Slide the lock-off switch (2) forwards and press the saw into the base plate (7) until this locks into the position for changing the saw blade.
– Clean the saw blade (22) and all the clamping elements to be fitted.
– Place the saw blade (22) on the mounting flange (23). The cutting direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow
on the saw blade) must match the rotational direction of the arrow on the protective guard (15).
– Attach the clamping flange (21) and screw in the clamping bolt (20) in the rotational direction ➋. Ensure that the mounting flange (23) and clamping flange (21) are installed in the correct position.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button (25).
– Use the hex key (5) to tighten the clamping bolt (20) in rotational direction ➋. The tightening torque should be 6–9 Nm, which corresponds to hand-tight plus ¼ turn.
– Flip the lever (3) back. In doing so, the saw will automatically spring back to its home position.

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 bags of dust, 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.
External dust extraction
Connect an extraction hose with a diameter of 35 mm (31) (accessory) to the chip ejector (18). Connect the extraction hose (31) to a dust extractor (accessory). You will find an overview of how to connect various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions. The power tool can be directly connected to the plug socket of a Bosch all-purpose dust extractor with a remote starter. This dust extractor is started up automatically when the power tool is switched on. The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked on. When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.

Operation

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

Operating modes
Setting the cutting depth (see figures B–C)
Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
A space of less than the height of one full tooth should be visible under the workpiece. Turn the cutting depth indicator (8) to the bottom position ➊ for sawing without a guide rail, or to the top position ➋ for sawing with a guide rail. Push the slider (27) to set the required cutting depth (material thickness + tooth height of the saw blade) on the
cutting depth scale (6).
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle
Place the power tool on a level surface, so that the base plate (7) is fully supported. Loosen the wing bolts (11) and (17). Swivel the saw to the side. Set the required mitre/bevel angle on the scale (9). Tighten the front wing bolt (11) or the rear wing bolt (17). Then tighten the wing bolt on the opposite side. Note: Do not exert any force on the auxiliary handle (4) or the saw itself. If this is not adhered to, different mitre/bevel angles can be set unintentionally with the wing bolts (11) and (17).  This means that the base plate (7)  will then no longer lay flat on the surface of the FSN guide rail. If you tighten both wing bolts at the same time, it may be necessary to support the saw from the bottom of the auxiliary handle (4). When doing this, do not exert any force on the auxiliary handle (4) or the saw itself to prevent different settings from being implemented. If the settings have nonetheless turned out to be different, loosen both wing bolts (11) and (17) again. Then set the mitre/bevel angle again as described previously. The saw can be set to a miter/bevel angle of -1° or +47°. To do this, when swiveling, also press the button (16) for a miter/bevel angle of -1° or the button (12) for a miter/bevel angle of +47°.
Note: when making miter cuts, the cutting depth is less than the value shown on the cutting depth scale (6).
Cut marks (see figure D)
The 0° cut mark (32) indicates the position of the aw blade when making a right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (33) indicates the position of the saw blade when making a 45° cut  – when used without a guide rail.
Start-up
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. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
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.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (2),
then press and hold the on/off switch (1).
Pressing the lock-off switch (2) also unlocks the plunge function and allows the power tool to be pushed down.
This causes the application tool to plunge into the workpiece. Raising the power tool causes it to spring back into the starting position and the plunge function locks again.  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.
Starting current limitation
The electronic starting current limitation feature restricts the power of the power tool when it is switched on and enables operation using a 16 A fuse.
Constant electronic control
The Constant Electronic keeps the speed at no load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform performance.
Speed preselection
You can preselect the required speed using the thumbwheel for speed preselection (24), even during operation. The required speed depends on the saw blade used and the material being worked on (see the saw blade overview at the end of these operating instructions). This will prevent the saw teeth from overheating when sawing.
Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
The width of the cut varies depending on the saw blade used.
Protect saw blades against shock and impact. Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool when moving it in the cutting direction significantly reduces the service life of the application tools and can damage the power tool. The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essentially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades that are suitable for the material being machined.
Sawing wood
Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type, wood quality, and whether cuts with or against the grain are required.
Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-shaped chips.
Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health. Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing Plastic
Note: Sawing plastic, in particular PVC, produces long, spiral-shaped chips that can be electrostatically charged. This can lead to the chip ejector (18) becoming clogged. Therefore, you should not work without dust extraction. Switch on the power tool and bring it into contact with the workpiece, sawing it carefully. Then continue working quickly and without interruption so that the saw teeth do not become stuck as quickly.
Sawing non-ferrous metal
Note : Only use a sharp saw blade that is suitable for non-ferrous metal. This guarantees a clean cut and will prevent the saw blade from jamming. Switch on the power tool and bring it into contact with the workpiece, sawing it carefully. Then continue working with less feed and without interruption. For profiles, always begin the cut on the narrow side; for U-shaped profiles, never begin the cut on the open side. Support long profiles to prevent the saw blade jamming and the power tool from kicking back. Sawing lightweight materials (materials containing minerals) u When sawing lightweight materials, take into account the statutory provisions and recommendations of the material manufacturers.
Lightweight materials may only be worked on using dry cuts and with a dust extraction system. Always use the guide rail (29) (accessory).
The dust extractor must be approved for extracting stone dust. Suitable dust extractors are available from Bosch.
Sawing with the guide rail (see figure D)
You can use the guide rail (29) to produce straight cuts. The rubber lip on the guide rail acts as an anti-splinter guard, which prevents the surface from splintering when sawing wooden materials. To fulfill this function, the saw blade must be positioned with its teeth right up against the rubber lip. Before making the first cut with the guide rail (29), the rubber lip must be adapted to the circular saw used. To do so, position the guide rail (29) along the entire length of a workpiece. Set a cutting depth of approx. 9 mm and a right-angled mitre/bevel angle. Switch on the circular saw and guide it evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction. The connector (30) can be used to join two guide rails. The four screws in the connector are used for the purpose of clamping.
Adjusting the base plate to other guide rails (see figure E)
The narrow groove integrated into the base plate (7) can be used for the guide rails shown on the accessories page. To adjust the base plate to guide rails with a wider guide ring that is made by other suppliers, remove the plastic insert (34). Attach the saw to the guide rail and adjust the fitting accuracy of saw and guide rail as required using the two
knurled screws (35).
Sawing with the parallel guide (see figures F–G)
The parallel guide (14) allows you to make precise cuts along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same dimensions. Slide the guide rods on the parallel guide (14)  through the guides in the base plate (7). Attach the wing bolts (10) on both sides as shown in the figure, then screw in the wing bolts(10) without fully tightening them.
Set the required cutting width as the scale value at the respective cut mark(32) or (33) (see “Cut marks (see figure  D)”, page 18). Then tighten the wing bolts (10).
Sawing with an auxiliary guide (see figure H)
For working on large workpieces or for cutting straight edges, you can securely fasten a board or rail to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide. The circular saw can be guided
along the path of this auxiliary guide with the base plate.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
u To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
The protective guard (15) must always be able to move freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to keep the area around the protective guard (15) clean at all times. Remove dust and chips with a paintbrush. Non-coated saw blades can be protected against corrosion using a thin layer of acid-free oil. Remove the oil again before
sawing as failure to do so will stain the wood. Resin or glue residue on the saw blade has a detrimental effect on the quality of the cut. You should therefore clean
saw blades straight after use. 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 center that is authorized to repair  Bosch power tools.
