To adjust the riving knife on the Bosch GKS 85 G saw, follow these steps: 1. Before starting any work on the machine, make sure to unplug the power cord for safety. 2. Always use the riving knife, except when performing plunge cuts. The riving knife helps prevent the saw blade from jamming during cutting. 3. Adjust the riving knife at the minimal cutting depth. Refer to the "Adjusting the Cutting Depth" section on page 18 of the manual for instructions on setting the cutting depth. 4. Position the machine on the face side of the blade guard. 5. Loosen the clamping lever and pull the saw away from the base plate. Then, tighten the clamping lever again. 6. Loosen the screw and adjust the riving knife to the specified measurement shown in the figure. Tighten the screw with a torque between 8-9 Nm. 7. If you need to disassemble or assemble the riving knife, loosen the screw to remove or insert the knife. Afterward, check the adjustment of the riving knife as described previously. 8. For dust and chip extraction, use a suitable dust extraction system for the material you are working with. Ensure good ventilation in the working area and consider wearing a P2 filter-class respirator. 9. Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction adapter to prevent clogging of the extraction system. 10. Regularly clean the extraction adapter to ensure optimum extraction. 11. For external dust extraction, connect a vacuum hose to a compatible vacuum cleaner. 12. Remember to always hold the machine firmly with both hands and provide a secure stance while operating it. Please note that these instructions are based on the Bosch GKS 85 G saw and may not apply to other models or brands.
If the dust/chip extraction system is not working properly on the Bosch GKS 85 G saw, there are a few steps you can take to address the issue: 1. Ensure that the machine and ventilation slots are clean. Regularly remove dust and chips by blowing them out with compressed air or using a brush. 2. Check the retracting blade guard. It should be able to move freely and retract automatically. Keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean to prevent any obstructions. 3. Clean the saw blade immediately after use to remove any resin and glue residue. This will help ensure clean and accurate cuts. 4. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, it should be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent to avoid any safety hazards. Remember to always prioritize safety when working with power tools. Hold the machine firmly with both hands and provide a secure stance. Use suitable detectors to check for hidden utility lines in the work area. Do not operate the saw stationary or use high-speed steel saw blades. Avoid sawing ferrous metals as red hot chips can ignite the dust extraction system. By following these steps, you can help ensure that the dust/chip extraction system on your Bosch GKS 85 G saw works properly.
To adjust the cutting depth on the Bosch GKS 85 G saw, follow these steps: 1. Start by loosening the clamping lever 28. This lever is used to secure the saw blade in place. 2. Once the lever is loosened, you can adjust the cutting depth. For a smaller cutting depth, pull the saw away from the base plate 14. For a larger cutting depth, push the saw toward the base plate 14. 3. Use the cutting-depth scale to set the desired cutting depth. Make sure that less than a full tooth of the blade teeth is visible below the workpiece. 4. After setting the desired cutting depth, tighten the clamping lever 28 to secure the blade in place. 5. If needed, you can also adjust the tightening tension of the clamping lever 28. To do this, unscrew the lever and then screw it back again turned offset by at least 30° in an anticlockwise direction. Please note that for bevel cuts, the cutting depth may be smaller than the setting indicated on the cutting-depth scale. Additionally, always ensure that you follow safety precautions and refer to the manual for more detailed instructions.
