Plunge Cutting - Bosch JS572E Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Seguridad

Your tool has detent slots the footplate
will engage at 0° & 45°, and there are
additional position marks for 15°, 22.5°
and 30° angles.
Close the lock lever slowly to assure
that footplate is locked at the desired
angle.
Tool Tips
gripping surfaces on the front of the
tool and the switch handle. Failure to
hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surface may result in electric shock or
electrocution if sawing into a blind area
where live wiring exits.
Always be
workpieces are securely fastened to a
bench or other support. Larger panels
may be held in place by clamps on a
bench or sawhorses.
To begin a cut, clearly mark the cutting
line, and rest the front of the footplate
on the work. Engage the switch, and
move the blade into the work using only
enough forward pressure to keep the
blade cutting steadily. Do not force, as
this will not make the saw cut faster; let
the blade do the work.
Choose blades carefully, as the ability of
the jigsaw to follow curves, provide
smoother finishes, or faster cutting is
directly related to the type of blade
used (See your Bosch Dealer).
For tight curves it is best to use a
narrow or scroll blade.
When sawing metal or similar materials,
shut off chip blower and apply
coolant/lubricant alongside the cutting
line. Don't use extraction.
Use of reverse-tooth blade such as the
Bosch T101BR requires the orbital
setting to be "0" and that downward
pressure be applied to the top of the
saw.

Plunge cutting

Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving
in making rough openings in softer
materials. It is not necessary to drill a
hole for an inside or pocket cut. The
longest blade to be used for plunge
cutting is 3-1/8" (80 mm). Footplate
must be set 0° setting. (Fig. 9).

Draw lines for the opening, hold the saw
firmly, tilt it forward so that the toe of
the saw foot rests on the work, but with
the blade well clear of the work. Turn
the tool on and run at top speed, and
then very gradually lower the blade (Fig.
10).
When it touches, continue pressing
down on the toe of the saw foot slowly
pivoting the saw like a hinge until the
blade cuts through and the foot rests
flat on the work. Then saw ahead on the
cutting line. We do not recommend
plunge cutting with a scroll blade. Do
not try to plunge cut into hard materials
such as steel.
To make sharp corners, cut up to the
corner, then back up slightly before
rounding the corner. After the opening
is complete, go back to each corner and
cut it from the opposite direction to
square it off.
