Choose blades carefully, as the ability of the
jigsaw to follow curves, provide smoother
finishes, or faster cutting is directly related to
the type of blade used (See your Bosch
Dealer).
For tight curves it is best to use a narrow or
scroll blade.
When sawing metal or similar materials, shut
off chip blower and apply coolant/lubricant
alongside the cutting line.
PLUNGE CUTTING
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in
making rough openings in softer materials. It
is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or
pocket cut. Draw lines for the opening, hold
the saw firmly, tilt it forward so that the toe of
the saw foot rests on the work, but with the
blade well clear of the work. Start the motor,
and then very gradually lower the blade.
When it touches, continue pressing down on
the toe of the saw foot slowly pivoting the saw
like a hinge until the blade cuts through and
the foot rests flat on the work. Then saw
ahead on the cutting line. We do not
recommend plunge cutting with a scroll blade
(Fig. 9).
To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,
then back up slightly before rounding the
corner. After the opening is complete, go back
to each corner and cut it from the opposite
direction to square it off. Do not try to plunge
cut into hard materials such as steel.
