I just bought a cheap Bosch mitre saw from eBay in pretty good working condition.
Only thing is that its covered in what I have been told is floorboard adhesive. Kind of light brown glue.
Its over all the metal and plastic.
Is there a solvent that won't harm the metal or plastic and tools I can use to remove it?

Obviously you'll want to do a test on some inconspicuous portion of the tool to determine whether the solvent damages the plastic housing, rubber wiring and grommets, decals, etc. Use water sparingly to avoid damaging the motor.
