Bosch GTA 2600 Professional Mitre Saw Stand Instruction Manual

BOSCH GTA 2600 Professional Mitre Saw Stand General Safety Rules

Read all warning notes and instructions enclosed with the saw stand and the power tool to be mounted. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in elec-tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Safety Warnings for Saw Stands

• Pull the plug from the main 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.
• Assemble the saw stand in the proper manner before mounting the power tool. Proper assembly is important to prevent the risk of a collapse of the saw stand.
• Attach 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.
• Place the saw stand on a firm, level and horizontal surface. If the saw stand can slip off or wobble, the power tool or the workpiece cannot be uniformly and securely guided.
• Do not overload the saw stand and do not use it as a ladder or scaffolding. Overloading or standing on the saw stand can lead to the upward shifting of the centre of grav-ity of the stand and its tipping over.
• When 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 instability and inex-act sawing.
  Mount and dismount the power tool only when it is in the transport position (for instructions on the transport position, also see the operating instructions of the respective power tool). Otherwise, the power tool can have such an unfavourable centre of gravity that it cannot be held securely.
• When the power tool is mounted to the attachment set, operate it exclusively on the saw stand. Without the saw stand, the attachment set with the power tool does not stand securely and can tip over.
• Ensure that long and heavy workpieces do not affect the equilibrium of the saw stand. Long and/or heavy workpieces must be supported at the free end.
• Keep your fingers clear of the hinge points while pushing the saw stand together or pulling it apart. The danger of fingers being crushed or contused.
• Observe valid national and international standards.

Assembling the Saw Stand

Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from their packaging.
Remove all packaging material.
Setting Up the Saw Stand (see figures A1 – A2)
Lay the saw stand upside down on the floor (legs facing up-ward). Push the locking pin 19 in and tilt the leg upward until the locking pin can be heard to engage. Repeat this workstep with the other three legs. Turn around the saw stand to the working position. Ensure that the saw stand is stable and that all locking pins have engaged. The saw stand is easily aligned with the height-adjustable leg 9. Loosen lock nut 20 and screw the leg in or out until the saw stand is aligned level and all four legs face against the floor.
Mounting the Length Stop and Workpiece Support (see figures B1–B2)
Screw the length stop 5 to the workpiece support 1 with car-riage bolt 11 and locking knob 4. Insert the workpiece support 1 into the table extension 2. Tighten the locking knob 7 to lock the workpiece support. Repeat the worksteps with the second workpiece support. Preparing the Saw Stand
Preparing the Attachment Sets (see figure C)Insert one carriage bolt 12 each through assembly-sliding plate 17 and 18. Position assembly-sliding plate 17 with the carriage bolt in the rear slot of the attachment set. Position assembly-sliding plate 18 with the carriage bolt in the front slot of the attachment set. Repeat the worksteps with the second attachment set. for GCM 8 S, GCM 8 SJ, GCM 800 S Insert one carriage bolt 12 through assembly-sliding plate 17 and one carriage bolt 10 through assembly-sliding plate 18. Position assembly-sliding plate 17 with the carriage bolt in the rear slot of the attachment set. Position assembly-sliding plate 18 with the carriage bolt in the front slot of the attachment set and secure the carriage bolt with the nut locking device 15 against falling out.
Repeat the worksteps with the second attachment set.
Fastening the Power Tool to the Attachment Sets (see figure D)
Position the power tool in the transport position. Notes on the transport position are given in the operating instructions of the respective power tool. Raise one side of the power tool and position the carriage bolts of the attachment set at the correct distance to the mounting holes of the power tool.
Note: Power tools with off-set mounting holes can also be fastened with help of the slot in the assembly-sliding plate 18 and the lateral slot in the attachment set 6.
Lower the power tool onto the carriage bolts and loosely screw the attachment set and the power tool together with the washers 13, lock washers 14 and nuts 16. Screw the locking knob 8 into the corresponding hole of the attachment set 6. Repeat the work steps with the second attachment set.
Fastening the Attachment Sets with the Power Tool onto the Saw Stand (see figures E1 – E2)
Align both attachments sets parallel to each other. Position the power tool centred on the saw stand in the sequence shown. Firstly, allow the rounded-off part of the attachment sets to rest against the front rail (1), then slowly and carefully lower the power tool (2) until it is seated securely on the rear rail. If required, move the power tool on attachment sets 6 so that the weight is positioned centrally on the saw stand. Now, firmly tighten the nuts 16 for final fastening of the power tool. Afterward, firmly tighten both locking knobs 8 of the attachment sets.

Operation

Working Advice
Do not overload the saw stand. Always observe the maximum carrying capacity of the saw stand and the two table extensions.
Always hold the workpiece firmly, especially the longer and more heavy section. After cutting through the workpiece, the center of gravity may become dislocated in such an unfavorable manner that the saw stand tips over.

Extending the Saw Stand (see figures F1 – F2)

Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free end. Place your long workpiece onto the saw table of the power tool.
Loosen locking knob 3 and pull the table extension 2 out to the desired clearance.
Retighten the locking knobs again.
Loosen locking knob 7 and adjust the height of the workpiece support 1 so that the workpiece rests level.
Retighten the locking knobs again.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure G)
The material stop 5 can be used for easily sawing workpieces to the same length.
Loosen locking knob 4 and position the length stop 5 to the desired clearance to the saw blade of the power tool.
Retighten the locking knobs again.
Adjusting the Attachment-set Bracket (see figure H)
After intensive use of the saw stand, the bracket that locks the attachment set 6 to the saw table via the locking knob 8 may possibly require readjustment. Remove the power tool from the attachment sets. Turn the attachment set upside down. When the attachment set cannot be locked to the saw stand despite firmly tightening the locking knob, screw the adjustment screw 21 in a clockwise direction. When the attachment set does not fit onto both rails (front and rear) of the saw stand at the same time, screw the adjustment screw 21 in an anticlockwise direction. Check the firm and correct seating of the attachment set and repeat the adjustment, if required.
Repeat the work steps with the second attachment set.
