__J_ Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and 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 by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Refer to "Recommended sizes of Extension
Cords" in the Accessory section of this
manual.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an
outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user. Improper
grounding can shock, burn or electrocute.
Grounded tools are equipped with three
conductor cord and three prong type plugs.
Before plugging in the tool be certain the
outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage
marked on the nameplate. Do not use "AC
only"rated tools with a DO power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded. If operating the power tool in
damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to
supply the power to your tool. Electrician's
rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase 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 tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is "OFF" before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch "ON" invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool "ON". A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
-2-

ToolUseandCare
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.Do not use tool if switch does
not turn it "ON" or "OFF". Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control. Any
alteration or modification is a misuse and
may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop
a periodic maintenance schedule for your
tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
_ Keep hands away from
cutting area and blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Ho/dthe
saw firmly to prevent loss of control Figures in
this manual illustrate typical hand support of the
saw. NEVER place your hand behind the saw
blade since kickback could cause the saw to
jump backwards over your hand
Keep your body positioned to either side of
the saw blade, but not in line with the saw
blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump
backwards. (See "Causes and Operator
Prevention of Kickback.")
Do not reach underneath the work. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the work. Do not attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If saw is accidentally dropped,
lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
only with the Lower Guard Lift Lever and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
-3-

Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris. Disconnect the
plug from power source. Periodically remove
the blade, clean the upper, lower guards and
the hub area with kerosene and wipe it di_, or
blow it clean with compressed air
Lower guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts"
and "Compound Cuts". Raise lower guard
by Lower Guard Lift Lever. As soon as blade
enters the material, lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is
released.
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding,or loss of control.
Hold tool by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or it
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire willalso
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control and will not allow proper
vari-torque engagement.
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.
The blade washers and the bolt on your saw
have been designed to work as a "VARI-
TORQUE CLUTCH'; Understand the operation
and seLtings of the VARI- TORQUE CLUTCH
because the proper setting of the CLUTCH,
combined with firm handling of the saw will
a//ow you to controlKICKBACK
Do not run the saw while carrying it at your
side. Lower guard may be opened by a
contact with your clothing. Accidental contact
with the spinning saw blade could result in
serious personal injury.
Depending upon use, the switch may not
last the life of the saw. If the switch should
fail in the "OFF" position, the saw may not
start. If it should fail while the saw is
running, the saw may not shut off. If either
occurs, unplug the saw immediately and do not
use until repaired.
This circular saw should not be mounted to
a table and converted to a table saw. Circular
saws are not designed or intended to be used
as table saws.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
OF KICKBACK:
Kickback is asudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misa/igned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lilt up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator.
S S .j*
VARI-TORQUE
CLUTCH
When the blade is pinched or bound t/_zht/yby
the kerr dosing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misa/igned in
the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerr andjump back
toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
-4-

Maintainafirmgripwithbothhandsonthe
sawandpositionyourbodyandarmto
allowyouto resistKICKBACKforces.
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautionsare taken.
When 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
andtake correctiveaction to eliminate the cause
of blade binding. Wet lumber, green lumber or
pressure treated lumber require special
attention during cutting operation to prevent
KICKBACK Avoid cutting nails.Inspect for and
remove all nailsfrom lumber beforecutting
When restarting a saw in a workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade isbinding, itmay walk up
or KICKBACK 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. ,See "Cutting Large Sheets"in this
manual
Do not use dull or damaged blade.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerr causing excessive friction, blade
binding and KICKBACK.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
knobs must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.
Using the saw w/?h an excessive depth of cut
seLting increases loading on the unit and
susceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kenf
/t also increases the surface area of the blade
available for pinching under conditions of kerf
close down.
Use extra caution when making a "Pocket
Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause KICKBACK.
__J_ Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ATTACHING THE BLADE
__J_ Disconnect the plug from
the power source before
making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
1. Press the lock button and turn wrench until
lock button engages. Saw shaft is now locked.
Continue to depress button, turn wrench
clockwise and remove BLADE STUD and
OUTER WASHER (Fig. 2).
2. Retract the lower guard all the way up into
the upper guard. While retracting the lower
guard, check operation and condition of the
LOWER GUARD SPRING.
3. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the
blade point in the same direction as the arrow
on the lower guard.
4. Slide blade through slot in the foot and
mount it against the INNER WASHER on the
shaft. Be sure the large diameter of the INNER
and OUTER washers lay flush against the
blade.

5. Reinstall OUTER WASHER. First tighten
BLADE STUD finger tight, then TIGHTEN
BLADE STUD 1/8 TURN (45 °) WITH THE
WRENCH PROVIDED.
Do not use wrenches with longer handles,
since it may lead to over tightening of the
blade stud.
VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH
This clutching action is provided by the friction
of the OUTER WASHER against the BLADE
and permits the blade shaft to turn when the
blade encounters excessive resistance. When
the BLADE STUD is properly tightened (as
described in No. 5 of Attaching The Blade), the
blade will slip when it encounters excessive
resistance, thus reducing saw's tendency to
KICKBACK.
One setting may not be sufficient for cutting all
materials. If excessive blade slippage occurs,
tighten the blade stud a fraction of a turn more
(less than 1/8 turn). OVERTIGHTENING THE
BLADE STUD NULLIFIES THE EFFECTIVE-
NESS OF THE CLUTCH.

Always tighten bevel adjustment first, then
the depth adjustment lever (Fig. 5).
For 50° cuts, loosen bevel adjustment lever,
depress 45° stop spring, adjust foot to 50 ° and
tighten lever (Fig. 5). Because of the increased
amount of blade engagement in the work and
decreased stability of the foot, blade binding
may occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot

LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use the large notch in
the foot. For 45 ° bevel cuts, use the small
notch (Fig. 6). The cutting guide notch will
give an approximate line of cut. Make sample
cuts in scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut.
This will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum splintering on
the good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.

SWITCH
_When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
_Always be sure either hand
does not interfere with the
free movement of the lower guard.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.
_ fter completing a cut and
the trigger has been
released, be aware of the necessary time it
takes for the blade to come to a complete
stop during coast down. Do not allow the
saw to brush against your leg or side,
since the lower guard is retractable, it
could catch on your clothing and expose
the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade
exposures that exist in both the upper and
lower guard areas.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:
squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to
reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
CUTTING MASONRY/METAL
This tool is not recommended for continuous
and general usage with metal or masonry cut-
off wheels. If you use your saw for cutting
these materials, use the appropriate wheel for
the material being cut.
When cutting masonry, do not cut a depth of
more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive
passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light
forward pressure. Do not overload motor.
Disconnect plug from power source and clean
dust from air vents frequently. Metal cutting is
done at full depth.
_Clean guards frequently to
assure a rapid return of
lower guard. The lower guard may become
sluggish when cutting masonry materials.
_ brasive Cut Off Wheels
must have a maximum
safe operating speed greater than the "no
load RPM" marked on the tool's
nameplate. Wheels running over the rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
_ Do not use the abrasive
cut off wheel near
flammable materials. Sparks from the
wheel could ignite these materials.
__J_ This machine is not
intended to be used with
Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or other
liquid coolants with this machine may result
in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry
Diamond Wheels is acceptable.
POCKET CUTS
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth adjust-
ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw
forward with cutting guide notch lined up with
the line you've drawn. Raise the lower guard,
using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and
rear handles (Fig. 7).
With the blade just clearing the material to be
cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back
end of saw using the front end of the foot as the
hinge point.

_llow blade to come to a
complete stop before lifting
the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw
backward since blade will climb out of the
materialand KICKBACKwill occur.
Turn saw around and finish the cut in the normal
manner, sawing forward. If corners of your
pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a
jigsaw or hand saw to finish the comers.
CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-
BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 8).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as
shown in (Fig. 9). Be sure to set the depth of the
cut so that you cut through the sheet or board
only and not the table or work bench. The two-
by-fours used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest sides
support the work and rest on the table or bench.
Do not support the work with the narrow sides
as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet
or board to be cut is too large for a table or work
bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floor and secure.

RIP CUTS
The combination blade provided with your saw
is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is
cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood.
Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence
(Fig. 10). Rip Fence is available as an
accessory (not included). To attach fence, insert
fence through slots in foot to desired width as
shown and secure with the wing nut (not
included). )=[_liil

Service
_reventive maintenance
performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We
recommend that all tool service be performed
by a Bosch Factory Service Center or
Authorized Bosch Service Station.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready to use. However it is
recommended that the gears be relubricated
only with Bosch lubricant: WD7LUB or Skil
80111.
Always check the S/'/t'''--it --""_
oil level before OIL -/-_
usin0the To
check and add oil: ,.,,,
Remove plug from LGE
power source and
place the saw's foot on a horizontal surface.
Remove oil plug using the same wrench used
to remove the saw blade. The oil level should
never be below bottom threads in the housing.
When adding oil, fill until oil starts to run out of
oil hole at arrow on housing and replace oil
plug.
NOTE: If oil is extra dirty or thick, replace the
plug and run the saw for one minute to warm
up the oil. Then remove oil plug and turn saw
upside down, to remove all oil. Fill housing
with kerosene. Replace plug and run for one
minute to flush out the gear housing. Drain out
the kerosene and add fresh Bosch lubricant.
With a new saw, change the oil after the first
ten hours of use.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have
been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak
efficiency of the motor, we recommend every
two to six months the brushes be examined.
The brushes should be free from dust and dirt.
Brushes should be replaced when they have
worn clown to 3/16" in length. The brushes
should slide freely in and out of the holders
without sticking.
To check brushes: Disconnect plug from
power source. Unscrew the brush caps on the
motor housing and lift out the brushes; note
which way they face, so that the brushes can
be returned to their original position. Clean the
brush holder openings with compressed air or
a clean cloth and replace the brushes and
caps.
Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes
specially designed for your tool should be
used.
BEARINGS
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings
should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Bearings which become noisy (due to hea W
load or very abrasive material cutting) should
be replaced at once to avoid overheating or
motor failure.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents always
disconnect the tool from
the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. The tool may
be cleaned most effectively with compressed
dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through openings.
_Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from
blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene
or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.

_f an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavi-
er the cord.

Gardezvotre corpspositionn_d'un c_t_ ou de I'autre

Assurez-voustoujoursque le gardeinferieurcouvrela

Lorsque la lameest pinc#e ou gripp#e fermement par le
trait de scie qui se referme,la lamebloque et la r#action
du moteur ram#ne rapidement I'oufil en direction de
I'op#rateu_
Si la lame devient tordue ou mal align#e dans la coupe,
les dents du bord arri#re de la lame peuvents'enfoncer
dans la surface sup#rieure du bois, amenant ainsi la
lame _sortir du trait de scie et_ revenir vers
I'op#rateu_
Le rebond est le r#suitat d'une utifisation erron#e de
I'outil et/ou de m#thodes ou de conditions de
fonctionnement incorrectes, et on peut I'#viter en
