Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
fKeepworkareacleanandwelllit.Clutteredordarkareas
invite accidents.
fDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
fKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
fPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
fAvoidbodycontactwithearthedor grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
fDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelectric
shock.
fDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
fWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
fIf operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
fStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
toolwhile youare tiredor under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
fUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
fPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
theoff-position beforeconnecting topower sourceand/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
fRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
fDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
fIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
fDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
fDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
fDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
fMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged,havethepowertoolrepairedbeforeuse. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
fKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained
cuttingtoolswith sharp cuttingedgesare less likelyto bind
and are easier to control.
fUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.

1 619 929 J70 | (23.9.11) Bosch Power Tools
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
fRecharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.
fUse power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
fWhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
fUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
fHaveyour power tool servicedby a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
fHold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
maycontacthiddenwiring.Cuttingaccessorycontacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
fKeep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
undertheworkpiece. Contact withthesawbladecanlead
to injuries.
fApply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
fPay attention that the base plate 7 rests securely on
the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can
break or lead to kickback.
fWhen the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the machine securely.
fUseonlyundamaged saw bladesthat are inperfectcon-
dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-
ence the cut, or lead to kickback.
fDo not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback.
fUse appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
arehiddenintheworkarea or call thelocalutilitycompa-
nyforassistance.Contactwithelectriclinescanlead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
fAlways wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
fDo not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
fIn case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
fUse the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
fUse only original Bosch batteries with the voltage
listed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using
otherbatteries, e.g.imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property
damage through exploding batteries.

Technical Data
Noise/Vibration Information
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
beenmeasured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
whenitis running butnot actually doing thejob. This may signif-
icantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
fromtheeffectsof vibration such as: maintainthetooland the
accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns.

Battery Charging
fUse only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
batterychargerbefore usingyour power toolfor the firsttime.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the machine has been au-
tomatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the Battery
The battery 3is equipped with two locking levels that should
preventthebatteryfromfalling out when pushing the battery un-
lockingbutton 4unintentionally. As long asthe battery is insert-
ed in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring.
Toremove the battery 3, press the batteryunlocking button 4
and pull the battery toward the rear out of the power tool. Do
not exert any force when doing this.
Battery Charge-control Indication
(only for 3.0 Ah battery) (see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
16 indicate the charge condition of the battery 3. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 15 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 3is removed.
When no LED lights up after pushing button 15, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
fWhenmounting thesaw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
endof theseinstructions.UseonlyT-shanksaw blades.Thesaw
blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
fClean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. An
unclean shank cannot be fastened securely.
Insert the saw blade 11 into the stroke rod 17 until it latches.
The SDS lever 12 automatically snaps to the rear and the saw
blade is locked. Do not manually press the lever 12 toward
the rear, otherwise you could damage the machine.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that the back of
the saw blade is positioned in the groove of the guide roller 9.
fCheck the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
fWhen ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such
a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by
the ejected saw blade.
Turn the SDS lever 12 forward towards the contact protector
13 to the stop. The saw blade is released and ejected.
Dust/Chip Extraction
fDusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Asfar as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
fPrevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Connecting the Dust Extraction (see figures D–E)
Insert the vacuum connection 18 into the opening of base
plate 7.
Place a vacuum hose 19 (accessory) onto the vacuum connec-
tion 18. Connect the vacuum hose 19 with a vacuum cleaner
(accessory).An overview for the connectionof various vacuum
cleaners can be found at the end of these instructions.
To enable optimum dust extraction, use the splinter guard 20
if possible.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Splinter Guard (see figure F)
The splinter guard 20can prevent fraying of the surface while
sawingwood.Thesplinterguardcanonly be used with certain
saw blade types, and only at a cutting angle of 0°. When saw-
ing with the splinter guard, the base plate 7may not be offset
to the rear for sawing close to edges.
Insert the splinter guard 20 into base plate 7from the front.

Sliding Shoe (see figure G)
Theplastic guideplate 6of base plate 7reducessensitive sur-
faces from being scratched up. When cutting metal, use the
steel sliding shoe 21.
To mount the steel sliding shoe 21, slide it onto base plate 7
from the front.
Operation
Operating Modes
fBefore any work on the machine itself (e.g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Orbital Action Settings
Thefour orbital action settingsallow for optimal adaptation of
cutting speed, cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the ma-
terial being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 8,
even during operation.
The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-
tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-
ing recommendations apply:
– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a fin-
er and cleaner cutting edge.
– For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital
action off.
– Forhardmaterialssuch as steel, work withloworbitalaction.
– For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the
grain, work with maximum orbital action.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figure H)
The base plate 7can be swivelled by 45° to the left or right for
mitre cuts.
Remove the vacuum connection 18.
Loosen screw 22 with Allen key 5and slide the base plate 7in
toward the battery 3to the stop.
For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the base plate has ad-
justment notches on the left and right at 0° and 45°. Swivel
the base plate 7to the desired position according to the scale
23. Other mitre angles can be adjusted using a protractor.
Afterwards, push the base plate 7to the stop in the direction
of the saw blade 11.
Tighten the screw 22 again.
The vacuum connection 18 and the splinter guard 20 cannot
be used for bevel cuts.
Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure H)
For sawing close to edges, the base plate 7can be offset to
the rear.
Loosen screw 22 with Allen key 5and slide the base plate 7in
toward the battery 3to the stop.
Tighten the screw 22 again.
When sawing with the base plate 7offset, the parallel guide
with circle cutter 25 as well as the splinter guard 20 may not
be used.
Starting Operation
Inserting the Battery
fUse only original Bosch lithium ion batteries with the
voltagelistedonthenameplateofyourpowertool. Using
other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Insert the charged battery 3from the rear into the base of the
power tool. Press the battery completely into the base until
the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is secure-
ly locked.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, firstly press on the safety switch 1next
to the symbol to deactivate it. Then press and hold the
On/Off switch 2.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 2. Acti-
vate the safety switch 1by pressing on it next to the
symbol .
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 2cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Controlling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 2
enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on ma-
chine.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 2results in a low stroke
rate. Increasing the pressure also increases the stroke rate.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw
blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic
and aluminium.
After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine
canheat up considerably. Remove thesaw blade from the ma-
chine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for ap-
prox. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using the machine as intended for, it cannot be subject
to overload. In case of excessive load or when not within the
permitted battery temperature range of 0–70 °C, the speed
is reduced or the machine switches off. With reduced speed,
themachine will notrun at full speed again untilafter reaching
the permitted battery temperature or when the load is re-
duced. In case of automatic shut-off, switch the machine off,
allow the battery to cool down and then switch the machine
on again.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

Working Advice
fWhen sawing small or thin workpieces, always use a
firm support.
Contact Protector
The contact protector 13 attached to the casing prevents ac-
cidental touching of the saw blade during the working proce-
dure and may not be removed.
Plunge Cutting (see figure I)
fPlunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Useonly short sawblades for plungecutting. Plunge cuttingis
possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.
Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 7on
to the workpiece without the saw blade 11 touching the work-
piece and switch on. For machines with stroke rate control,
select the maximum stroke rate. Firmly hold the machine
against the workpiece and by tilting the machine, slowly
plunge the saw blade into the workpiece.
When the base plate 7fully lays on the workpiece, continue
sawing along the desired cutting line.
Parallel Guide with Circle Cutter (Accessory)
Parallel Cuts (see figure J): Loosen the locking screw 24 and
slide the scale of the parallel guide through the lead 10 in
the base plate. Set the desired cutting width as the scale
value on the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking
screw 24.
Circular Cuts (see figure K): Set the locking screw 24 to the
other side of the parallel guide. Slide the scale of the parallel
guide through the lead 10 in the base plate. Drill a hole in the
workpiece centred in the section to be sawn. Insert the cen-
tring tip 26 through the inside opening of the parallel guide
and into the drilled hole. Set the radius as the scale value
on the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking
screw 24.
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
fBefore any work on the machine itself (e.g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
