Sawing Profiles (bevel cuts)
(see figures C1–C3)
– Mount the support extensions 6 left and right
at the front position of the bridge 8.
– Fold the red end stop 9 by 180° to the rear.
– Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
– Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail left-
ward and fold the guide rail 4 upward.
– Mark the desired cutting line on the work-
piece.
– Place down the
workpiece flat
against the stop of
the support exten-
sions 6.
– Fold the guide rail downward and align the
workpiece to the cutting line of mark 11.
– Lock the guide rail with lever 10.
– Tighten the locking knob 3.
– Adjust the base plate of the jigsaw according-
ly to the desired angle.
Notes on the adjustment are given in the op-
erating instructions of the jigsaw.
Note: The folded back red end stop 9 is used as
the stop for the base plate of the power tool.
Sawing Panels (lengthway cuts, recesses)
(see figure D)
– Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
– Remove the guide rail 4 and the bridge 8
from the base unit 1.
– Mount the support extensions 6 left and right
to the base unit 1.
– Depending on the workpiece length, mount
the additional supports 7 reversed (see
figure D) into the inner or outer guide of the
support extensions.
Take care that the cutting line in the
notched area is between the additional sup-
ports, to ensure that you do not saw into
the saw station.
Note: When sawing lengthway cuts, the saw sta-
tion is used only as a supporting surface. The
workpiece cannot be clamped. Therefore, hold
it tightly while sawing.
Bosch Power Tools

Working Advice

Only use the saw blades recommended by
Bosch (see page 76). When using saw blades
that are too thin, danger is given that the cut
runs out of centre.
The base plate of the jigsaw must always be in
the front position.
The thickness of the material to be cut depends
on the sawing capacity of the respective jigsaw.
For further information, see the operating in-
structions of your jigsaw.
To ensure optimal operational safety, the work-
piece must always be affixed.
Sawing
– Position the base plate of the power tool in
such a manner on the guide rail 4 that you al-
ways saw in the direction of locking knob 3.
– Switch on the machine.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform
feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Remove the power tool from the the guide
rail and release the workpiece.
Aligning the Angle Indicator (Horizontally)
(see figure E)
To ensure precise cuts after intensive use, the
angle indicator of the saw station must be
checked and reset as required.
– Turn guide rail 4 until it engages at 0°.
Checking:
The centre line of the angle indicator 13 must be
in line with the 0° mark of the scale 2.
Adjusting:
– Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
– Remove the guide rail 4 and the bridge 8
from the base unit 1.
– Loosen screws 14 using a commercially avail-
able Phillips screwdriver and align the centre
line of the angle indicator alongside the 0°
mark.
– Retighten the screws again.
Transport
– Remove the power tool before transporting.
