The anti-splinter guard (15) cannot be used while mitre cuts
are being made.
– Insert a saw blade (9).
– Remove the anti-splinter guard (15).
– Loosen the screw (18) and push the base plate (6)
slightly towards the extraction outlet (5).
– The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on
the left and right so that the precise mitre angle can be
adjusted. Swivel the base plate (6) to the desired posi-
tion according to the scale (19). Other mitre angles can
be adjusted using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (6) towards the saw blade (9)
as far as it will go.
– Slide the bracket (17) so that the guide roller (8) fits
against the back of the saw blade. Precise cuts are only
possible when the guide roller fits closely against the back
of the saw blade.
– Retighten the screw (18).
Cut Control for mitre cuts
(20) (10) (11) (6)
To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the
viewing window for Cut Control (10) has a mark (20) for
right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (21) for rightward- and
leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale
(19).
The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-
tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for
Cut Control (10) using a non-permanent marker and easily
removed again.
We recommend making a test cut for precise results.
Moving the base plate (see figure E)
You can move the base plate (6) back for sawing close to
edges.
Insert a saw blade (9).
Loosen the screw (18) and push the base plate (6) towards
the extraction outlet (5) as far as it will go.
Slide the bracket (17) so that the guide roller (8) fits against
the back of the saw blade. Precise cuts are only possible
when the guide roller fits closely against the back of the saw
blade.
Retighten the screw (18).
Sawing with an offset base plate (6) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In addition, Cut Control must not be used
with the base (11) or the anti-splinter guard (15).
Bosch Power Tools
Sawdust blower device
The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow
from the sawdust blower device.

Starting Operation

u

Switching on/off

u
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2), keep it pressed down and
push the locking mechanism (1) to the right or left.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).
(21) (19)
If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.

Working Advice

u
u
u
Saw with moderate pressure in order to achieve optimal and
precise cutting results.
Jigsaws are primarily designed for curved cuts. The range of
products from Bosch also includes accessories which enable
straight cuts or circular cuts (depending on the jigsaw
model, e.g. parallel guide, guide rail or circle cutter).
Hand-held jigsaws generally tend to go off at an angle, i.e.
under certain circumstances the angle and cutting accuracy
can no longer be ensured. Decisive influencing factors on the
accuracy are the saw blade thickness, cutting length and the
material thickness and strength of the workpiece.
When making long, straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm),
the cutting line may not be entirely precise. In this case, for
precise cuts, it is recommended that you use a Bosch circu-
lar saw.
Therefore, always check using test cuts whether the cutting
result of the selected system meets the requirements of your
application.
To switch on the sawdust blower
device: When working with high mater-
ial removal in wood, plastic and other
similar materials, push the switch (7)
towards the extraction outlet.
To switch off the sawdust blower
device: When working in metal and with
a dust extraction system connected,
push the switch (7) towards the saw
blade.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
without releasing the handle.
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
becomes blocked.
When machining small or thin workpieces, always use
a stable base or saw table (accessory).
