ouble insulation is a design concept used in
electric power tools which eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. It is a recognized and approved
system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and
Federal OSHA authorities.
l Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician.
l WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
l POLARIZED PLUGS. Your tool is equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other); this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not change
the plug in any way.
EA2;@6<;<?1@
l Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
l If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to pre-
vent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed
extension cords.

Electrical Requirements
l Connect this saw to a 120V, 15-amp branch cir-
cuit with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage
the motor.
l Fuses may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if motor is overloaded. Overloading
can occur if you feed the blade into the
workpiece too rapidly or start and stop too often
in a short time.
l Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload or low voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit or
overly long supply circuit wire). Always check
the connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor does not work well.
920A?60?.82
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric
brake which is designed to stop the blade from
spinning in about five (5) seconds after you release
the trigger switch. It is useful when making certain
cuts in wood where a coasting blade would result in
a wide, imprecise cut.

A52A?6442?@D6A05
The electric blade brake of your miter saw has been
designed for highest degree of reliability, but
unexpected circumstances such as contamination on
the commutator and brushes or failure of motor’s
components can cause the brake not to activate. If
this condition occurs, turn the saw “ON” and “OFF”
four to five times without contacting the workpiece. If
the tool operates but the brake does not consistently
stop the blade in about five seconds, DO NOT use
saw and have it serviced immediately.

bevel. If in the DOWN position, press down
slightly on the saw head assembly and pull out
the head assembly lock pin (item 43, page 9); then
allow the saw head to come up (see Figure 3).
2. Unscrew the link knob (item 28, page 9) by hand
from the pivot post and allow the link assembly to
hang. The link knob will stay on the link.

To reduce risk of injury, use saw
blade rated 3800/min (RPM) or
greater.
1. Follow all “Moving Guard Assembly” and “Remov-
ing Blade” steps.
2. Carefully handle the new blade. Check that the
rotation arrow on the blade matches the rotation
arrow on the lower guard. Slide the blade up and
between the sides of the chip deflector and over
the arbor shaft. Move the blade so its arbor hole
goes around the support ring of the inner washer
(see Figures 4 and 5).
3. Place the outer washer over the arbor shaft and
finger-tighten the blade bolt (counterclockwise).
Check that the blade remained on the inner
washer’s support ring.
4. Rotate the blade slowly while pressing the arbor
lock until it fully seats into its lock position.
5. Using the 6/4mm hex key, firmly tighten the blade
bolt 0<B;A2?09<08D6@2. NOTE: This bolt has left-
hand threads. Do not over tighten. A 6mm hex key
may be used as an alternate.
6. Remove the lower guard link from the rear cover
plate screw. Rotate the lower guard and cover
plate around the front cover plate screw until the
cover plate’s slot slides under the rear cover plate
screw head. Fully tighten both cover plate screws
using the 6/4mm hex key.
7. Place the lower guard link back to the original po-
sition, then firmly finger-tighten the link knob to the
pivot post. It may be necessary to retract the lower
guard while tightening the link knob.
8. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade
turns freely.
9. Place the 6/4mm hex key back in storage area.

The dust collection system used on this tool is unique
because it is not attached to the upper guard. This
placement provides superior dust collection for the
majority of cuts. When adjusting or removing any dust
collection components, be sure the saw is unplugged.

The elbow is attached to the top of the dust chute.
NOTE: It is recommended that the elbow is always in
place before operating the tool – it is required to direct
dust and debris away from the operator. The elbow
can be rotated in place. The elbow supports the dust
bag or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner.
%2:<C6;49/<D For cleaning, the elbow may be
removed by pulling up and twisting until it is free of
the dust chute. Reattach the elbow by pressing and

The rubber deflector extends the range of dust and
debris collection and should be left on the tool for
maximum dust pickup efficiency. When slide cutting
extra-tall materials (more than 2-13/16" high), the
rubber deflector will contact and flex over these
materials. It will also contact and flex when the saw is
pulled back before the cut. It will return to its original
shape after the cut.

- Set table at 0° miter and push saw fully back.
- Pull out head assembly lock pin to the release
position.
- Push down saw head and watch the depth stop

NOTE: For best results, Bosch recommends the use
of a table saw with an optional dado blade set for
cutting grooves and non-through cuts. In the event
this is not available, the feature described below is a
convenient alternative.
1. Release (pull out) the head asembly lock pin and
allow the saw head to move fully up. Slide saw
head to the full back position.
2. Pull the depth stop plate out away from the saw
head (see Figure 17).
3. Grip the main handle (item 3, page 8) and push
down the saw head while watching the depth stop
screw contact the top surface of the depth stop
plate. The screw will not pass through the hole in
the plate.
4. Turn the knob at the end of the depth stop screw
(while the threaded end is in contact with stop
plate) and watch the bottom of the saw blade
move. This adjustment sets the depth of cut.

The kerf inserts should be adjusted close to the
blade, but without touching the blade, to avoid tear-
out on the bottom of the workpiece.
1. Hold the saw head assembly down and push in
the head assembly lock pin (item 43 page 9) to
keep the saw in the DOWN position.
2. Loosen the six kerf screws using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Adjust the kerf inserts as close to the blade (teeth)
as possible without touching the blade.
4. Tighten the kerf screws.
NOTE: At extreme bevel angles, the saw blade may
slightly cut into kerf insert.
