ing to the scale (17). Other mitre/bevel angles can be ad-
justed using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (7) towards the saw blade (10)
as far as it will go.
– Retighten the screw (16).
Moving the base plate (see figure E)
You can move the base plate (7) back for sawing close to
edges.
Fully unscrew the screw (16) using the hex key (4). Remove
the screw together with the profiled plate (18).
Lift the base plate (7). Move the base plate towards the
power cable so that the hole for sawing close to edges (22)
is above the threaded hole in the power tool housing. The
positioning cam (19) must engage in the opening (20) of the
base plate at the same time. Insert the screw (16) along with
the profiled plate (18) in the threaded hole and tighten the
screw.
Sawing with an offset base plate (7) is only possible with a
mitre/bevel angle of 0°. In addition, the parallel guide with
circle cutter (25) (accessory) as well as the anti-splinter
guard (15) must not be used.
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage! The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching on/off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2), press and hold it while also
pressing the locking mechanism (3).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).
If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Preselect the stroke rate
You can preselect the stroke rate and change it during opera-
tion using the stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (1).
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and
the work conditions and can be determined using practical
tests.
It is recommended that you reduce the stroke rate when
placing the saw blade on the workpiece and when sawing
plastic and aluminium.
The number of strokes can be adjusted using six different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.

During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke rate, the
power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade
and let the power tool run at the maximum stroke rate for
around three minutes to cool down.
Working Advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
u
becomes blocked.
When machining small or thin workpieces, always use
u
a stable base or saw table (accessory).
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.
Therefore, always check using test cuts whether the cutting
result of the selected system meets the requirements of your
application.
Before sawing into wood, chipboard, building materials,
etc., check for and remove any foreign objects such as nails,
screws, etc.
Plunge cutting (see figure F)
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials,
u
such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades. Plunge cutting
is possible only with a mitre angle of 0°.
Place the power tool so that the front edge of the base plate
(7) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (10)
touching the workpiece, and switch it on. On power tools
with stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate.
Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow
the saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the base plate (7) rests fully on the workpiece,
continue sawing along the required cutting line.
Parallel guide with circle cutter (accessory)
When working with the parallel guide with circle cutter (25)
(accessory), the workpiece must be no more than 30 mm
thick.
Parallel cuts (see figure G): Loosen the locking screw (24)
and slide the scale on the parallel guide through the guide
(23) in the base plate. Adjust the desired cutting width as a
