feed. After completing the working procedure, switch the ma-
chine off.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the gap somewhat with a suitable tool and pull
out the machine.
Pivoting Footplate (see figure B)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2 adapts to the
required angular position of the surface.
Plunge Cutting (see figures C–D)
 The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable for treat-
ing soft materials such as wood, plaster board or simi-
lar! Do not work metal materials with the plunge cut-
ting 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 workpiece and allow the saw blade to slowly
plunge into the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the surface of the work-
piece, 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 E)
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.
 Pay attention that the saw blade always extends be-
yond 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 compressed air or
a soft brush. Remove the saw blade from the power tool for
this. Ensure proper operation of the saw blade holder by ap-
plying a suitable lubricant.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of
dust from below or overhead.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
