Operating Instructions
Pivoting Footplate (see figure C)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2 adapts
to the required angular position of the surface.
Utility Hook (see figure D)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 10 for hanging
it, e. g., to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out the utility hook
10 to the required position.
When the tool is hanging by the utility hook,
ensure that the saw blade is protected
against unintended contact. Danger of
injury.
Fold the utility hook 10 back in again when you are
ready to continue sawing.
Tips
When sawing light building materials,
observe the statutory provisions and the rec-
ommendations of the material suppliers.
Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for
foreign objects such as nails, screws or similar, and
remove them, if required.
Switch the machine on and guide it toward the work-
piece. Position the footplate 2 onto the surface of the
work and saw through the material applying uniform
contact pressure and feed. After completing the work-
ing procedure, switch the machine off.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off
immediately. Widen the gap somewhat with a suitable
tool and pull out the machine.
Plunge Cutting (see figure E)
The plunge cutting procedure is only suita-
ble for treating soft materials such as wood,
plaster board or similar! Do not work metal
materials with the plunge cutting procedure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
Place the machine with the edge of the footplate 2
onto the workpiece and switch on. For power tools
with stroke speed control, set the maximum stroke
speed. Press the power tool firmly against the work-
piece and allow the saw blade to slowly plunge into
the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the surface of
the workpiece, continue sawing alongside the desired
cutting line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be inserted
turned through by 180° and the sabre saw can be
guided accordingly in a reversed manner.
Flush Cuts (see figure F)
Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still attached
to a wall (e. g. projecting building elements such as
water pipes, etc.) can be sawn off flush at the wall.
2 609 932 557 • 30.11.06
Pay attention that the saw blade always
extends beyond the diameter of the material
being worked. There is danger of kickback.
Position the saw blade directly against the wall and
apply some lateral pressure via the tool until the foot-
plate faces against the wall. Switch the power tool on
and saw through the workpiece, applying constant lat-
eral pressure.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be
applied alongside cutting line because of the material
heating up.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as dur-
ing transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. There is danger of injury
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder regularly using a soft
brush or by blowing out with compressed air. Remove
the saw blade from the power tool for this.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to mal-
functions. Therefore, do not saw materials that pro-
duce a lot of dust from below or overhead.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should
be carried out by an after-sales service centre for
Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please
always include the 10-digit article number given on
the type plate of the machine.
