Working Advice

Tips
When sawing light building materials, ob-
serve 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
workpiece. Position the footplate 2 onto the sur-
face of the work and saw through the material
applying uniform contact pressure and feed. Af-
ter completing the working 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 figures E–F)
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 proce-
dure!
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 maxi-
mum stroke speed. Press the power tool firmly
against the workpiece and allow the saw blade
to slowly plunge into the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the sur-
face of the workpiece, continue sawing along-
side the desired cutting line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be in-
serted turned through by 180° and the sabre
saw can be guided accordingly in a reversed
manner.

Flush Cuts (see figure G)
Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still at-
tached to a wall (e. g. projecting building ele-
ments such as water pipes, etc.) can be sawn off
flush at the wall.
Pay attention that the saw blade always ex-
tends 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 footplate faces against the wall. Switch the
power tool on and saw through the workpiece,
applying constant lateral 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, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder preferably with com-
pressed air or a soft brush. Remove the saw
blade from the power tool for this. Ensure prop-
er operation of the saw blade holder by applying
a suitable lubricant.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to
malfunctions. Therefore, do not saw materials
that produce a lot of dust from below or over-
head.
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.
