Safety Notes
General Safety Rules
Read all warning notes and in-
structions enc slosed with the
saw stand and the power tool to be mounted.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Safety Warnings for Saw Stands
fPull the plug from the mains receptacle
and/or remove the battery from the power
tool before making adjustments on the tool
or changing tool accessories. Unintentional
switching on of the power tool is the cause of
many accidents.
fAssemble the saw stand in the proper man-
ner before mounting the power tool. Proper
assembly is important to prevent the risk of
a collapse of the saw stand.
fAttach the power tool securely to the saw
stand before using it. Slipping off of the
power tool on the saw stand can lead to loss
of control.
fPlace the saw stand on a firm, level and hor-
izontal surface. If the saw stand can slip off
or wobbles, the power tool or the workpiece
cannot be uniformly and securely guided.
fDo not overload the saw stand and do not
use it as a ladder or scaffolding. Overload-
ing or standing on the saw stand can lead to
the upward shifting of the centre of gravity of
the stand and its tipping over.
fWhen working or transporting, take care
that all bolts and connecting elements are
firmly tightened. The attachment sets for
the power tool must always be firmly
locked. Loose connections can lead to insta-
bility and inexact sawing.
fMount and dismount the power tool only
when it is in the transport position (for in-
structions on the transport position, also
see the operating instructions of the re-
spective power tool). Otherwise, the power
tool can have such an unfavourable centre of
gravity that it cannot be held securely.
fWhen the power tool is mounted to the at-
tachment set, operate it exclusively on the
saw stand. Without the saw stand, the at-
tachment set with the power tool does not
stand securely and can tip over.
fEnsure that long and heavy workpieces do
not affect the equilibrium of the saw stand.
Long and/or heavy workpieces must be sup-
ported at the free end.
fKeep your fingers clear of the hinge points
while pushing the saw stand together or
pulling it apart. Danger of fingers being
crushed or contused.
Symbols
The following symbols can be important for the
operation of your saw stand. Please memorise
the symbols and their meanings. The correct in-
terpretation of the symbols helps you operate
the saw stand better and more secure.
WARNING
Symbol Meaning
The maximum carrying ca-
pacity (power tool + work-
piece) of the saw stand is
180 kg.

parts listed below are provided:
Additionally required tools (not in delivery
scope):
– Phillips screwdriver
– Open-endspanner(10mm,8mm,6mm)
– Adjustable spanner
Assembling the Mobile Stand Base
– Carefully remove all parts included in the de-
livery from their packaging.
– Remove all packaging material. (e. g. cable
ties, etc.)
– For assembly, follow figures A – E. Also ob-
serve the following notes.
For Fig. B:
The wheels are marked for easier assembly (“R”
for right wheel, “L” for left wheel).
Note: Do not over-tighten the nuts. Parts bolted
together must move freely.
For Fig. D:
Observe the correct assembly direction of sup-
porting frame 18, which is indicated by the
marks “R” and “L” matching the wheels.
Note: Do not over-tighten the nuts. Parts bolted
together must move freely.
For Fig. E1:
In this assembly step, the saw stand 2is bolted
together with the supporting frame rest 18 and
the upper frame rest 13.
– Set both rest so that the lateral recesses in
the rests face towards the handle.
– While bolting the saw stand together, take
care that the support 8is always in the fix-
ture of the bottom frame 17.
Note: Only hand-tighten the nuts at first. After
all eight bolts are correctly positioned, they can
be firmly tightened.

Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 S19 | (4/1/09)
Preparing the Saw Stand
Setting Up the Saw Stand
(see figure F)
Before fastening the attachment sets and the
power tool, the stand base must be pulled
apart.
– To relieve the limit bolts 20, lightly pull the
saw stand upward by the handle 6.
– Release lock 3.
This pulls back the limit bolts that lock the
wheels in place.
– Position one foot on the foot lever 14 and
push the handle 6downward with both
hands until the limit bolts can engage again
on the other side of the locking plates 21.
– Tighten lock 3as well as lock 9.
The height-adjustable legs 7are used for level-
ling the saw stand.
– Loosen lock nut 22 and screw the legs in or
out until the saw stand is aligned level.
Preparing the Attachment Sets
(see figures G1–G4)
– To release the attachment set 1, press but-
ton 23 and open lever 24.
– Position the attachment set on the saw stand
2and slide it to the red stop 25.
– Close lever 24 again. The attachment set is
now firmly positioned on the saw stand.
– Measure the distance xbetween the mount-
ing holes and your power tool.
– Release the second attachment set and posi-
tion it at the matching clearance xto the al-
ready fastened attachment set.
– Close lever 24 again.
Fastening the Power Tool to the Attachment
Sets (see figure H)
– Position the power tool in the transport posi-
tion. Notes on the transport position are giv-
en in the operating instructions of the re-
spective power tool.
– Position the movable nuts 26 in the attach-
ment sets so that they match the mounting
holes of the power tool.
– Screw the attachment sets and the power
tool together with the respective washers
and bolts.
Operation
Working Advice
Do not overload the saw stand. Always observe
the maximum carrying capacity of the saw stand
and the two table extensions.
Before working, always make sure that both
locks 9and 3are closed.
Always hold the workpiece firmly, especially the
longer and more heavy section. After cutting
through the workpiece, the centre of gravity
may become dislocated in such an unfavourable
manner that the saw stand tips over.
Preparing the Workpiece Support
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
Adjusting the Height of the Workpiece Support
(see figure I)
– Place your workpiece onto the saw table of
the power tool.
– Loosen locking knob 10 and adjust the height
of the workpiece support 12 so that the
workpiece rests level.
– Retighten the locking knobs again.

1 609 929 S19 | (4/1/09) Bosch Power Tools
Extending the Saw Stand
(see figure J)
The saw stand can be extended on both sides.
– Place your long workpiece onto the saw table
of the power tool.
– Release the respective locking knob 4as re-
quired, and pull the table extension 5out to
the desired position.
– Retighten the locking knobs again.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length
(see figure K)
The length stop 11 can be used for easily sawing
workpieces to the same length.
– Pull the length stop upward to the stop and
position the workpiece support at the de-
sired clearance to the saw blade of the pow-
er tool.
Checking and Adjusting the Basic
Adjustment
After intensive use, the basic settings of the saw
stand must be checked and reset as required, to
ensure safe and proper function.
Experience and appropriate specialty tools are
required for this.
– Remove the power tool with the attachment
sets.
Adjusting Lock 9
(see figure L)
Over time, the lock 9of support 8can become
loose.
– Close lock 9.
– Insert a slotted screwdriver between the saw
stand and nut 27.
– Turn the lock in clockwise direction until the
lever for locking can be firmly closed again.
– Remove the slotted screwdriver and check
the adjustment again.
Adjusting the Limit Bolts of Lock 3
(see figures M1 –M2)
Checking:
– Bring the saw stand into the working position
(completely pulled apart).
Both limit bolts 20 must be completely extend-
ed and without a gap between limit bolts and
locking plate 21.
Adjusting:
– Open nuts 28 (16 mm) a quarter turn on
each side of the stand base.
– Tighten the adjustment screw 29 on the side
that has a gap between limit bolt and locking
plate.
If this does not reduce the gap, loosen the
adjustment screw on the other side.
– Repeat the procedure until both limit bolts
are completely extended again and no gap is
between the limit bolts and the locking plate.
– Tighten nuts 28 again.
Transport
The stand base must be folded together for
transport. (see figure N)
– Slide the table extensions 5all the way in as
well as the workpiece supports 12 and the
length stops 11 all the way down.
– Release lock 9.
– To relieve the limit bolts 20, lightly push the
saw stand downward by the handle 6.
– Release lock 3.
This pulls back the limit bolts that lock the
wheels in place.
– Position one foot on the foot lever 14 and
pull the handle 6upward with both hands un-
til the limit bolts can engage again on the oth-
er side of the locking plates 21.
– Close the lock 3.
