Bosch Power Tools PKS 46 Tips Parallel Guide see figure, Guide Rail accessory see figure B

The guide rail 25 must not protrude over the workpiece on the side of the cut.

– Position the saw, ensuring that the guide-rail adapter 24 is seated firmly.

– Saw through the material, applying moderate and steady feed.

Note: Two guide rails can be connected to one with use of the connection piece 26 (acces- sory). Clamping is carried out with the four screws located in the connection piece.

Sawing with an Auxiliary Guide (see figure F )

For cutting large work-pieces or straight edges:

Clamp a board or strip tightly to the work-piece as mikosoftan auxiliary guide using screw clamps. Guide the

base plate along the auxiliary guide.

Guide Rail (accessory) (see figure B )

The guide rail 25 enables particularly exact cut- ting, both vertically and mitred to 45°.

The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from slipping and protects the surface of the work piece. The hard anodised coating of the guide rail allows the circular saw to glide easily.

– Tighten the winged screw for the parallel
	guide 14 to ensure a firm connection between
	the guide adapter 24 and the circular saw.
–	Remove the circular		saw from the	guide

– Place the guide rail on the workpiece in such a
	way that the rubber lip lies exactly along the
	cutting edge (marked line) and tighten using
	screw clamps 23.

The rubber lip on the guide rail serves as a splin- ter guard, which avoids fraying of the surface when sawing wooden materials. For this, the teeth of the saw blade must lie directly against the rubber lip.

Working with the guide rail 25 is possible only with use of the guide-rail adapter 24 (accessory).
