Safety Instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below 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 (cord-
less) power tool.
Work area safety
u Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
u Do 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.
u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
u Power 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.
u Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-
ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
u Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
u When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
u If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
u Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
u Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
u Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
u Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
u If 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.
u Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
u Do 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 de-
signed.
u Do 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.
u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
u Store 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.
u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 846 | (04.08.2022)
16 | English
u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
u Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
u Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
u Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
u When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other 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.
u Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
u Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
u Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-
ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
u Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
u Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
u Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety instructions for jigsaws
u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
u Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
u Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
u Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
u Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while
sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
u When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool
and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it
has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid
kickback and can place down the power tool securely.
u Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
u Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively
influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
u Do 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.
u Only use the power tool with the base plate. If you do
not use the base plate, you are at risk of not being able to
control the power tool.
u Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
u In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
u Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
u The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
u Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.

Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN62841‑2‑11.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:
Sound pressure level 82dB(A); sound power level
93dB(A). Uncertainty K=5dB.
Wear hearing protection!

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 846 | (04.08.2022)
18 | English
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Battery Charging
u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
u Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
To remove the battery (4), press the release button (5) and
pull the battery upwards and out of the power tool. Do not
use force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
The battery charge indicator (3) indicates the charge condi-
tion of the battery when the power tool is switched on. It
consists of three green LEDs.
LEDs Capacity
3 × continuous green light 66–100%
2 × continuous green light 33–66%
1 × continuous green light 11–33%
1 × slowly flashing green light 0–10%
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator (3) flash
quickly when the temperature of the battery is outside the
operating temperature range of −20 to +50°C and/or the
overload protection has been triggered.
Inserting/changing the saw blade
u When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protect-
ive gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when
used for prolonged periods of time.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades
with a single lug shank (T shank) or with a 1/4" universal
shank (U shank). The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
Inserting the saw blade (seefigure A)
u Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
Adirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
If necessary, remove the hood(8).
Push the saw blade receptacle (14) upwards in the direction
of the arrow. Push the saw blade (10), with the teeth in the
cutting direction, into the saw blade receptacle as far as it
will go.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (12).
u Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose
saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Removing the saw blade (seefigure B)
Push the saw blade receptacle (14) upwards in the direction
of the arrow and remove the saw blade (10).
Saw blade storage compartment (accessory) (see
figureC)
You can keep up to six saw blades that are no longer than
110mm in the saw blade storage compartment (16). Insert
the saw blades with single lug shank (T shank) into the saw
blade storage compartment in the recess intended for these.
You can place up to three saw blades on top of each other.
Close the saw blade storage compartment and push it as far
as it will go into the recess in the base plate (7).
Glide shoe (accessory) (seefigureD)
When machining sensitive surfaces, you can place the glide
shoe (17) on the base plate (7) in order to prevent the sur-
face from being scratched.
To position the glide shoe (17), hook it to the front of the
base plate (7), push it up at the back and allow it to click into
place.
When working with the glide shoe, neither the saw blade
storage compartment(16) nor the CutControlmust be
used.
Anti-splinter guard (accessory) (seefigureE)
The anti-splinter guard (18) (accessory) can prevent splin-
tering of the surface while sawing wood. The anti-splinter
guard can only be used with certain saw blade types and only
at a cutting angle of 0°. When sawing with the anti-splinter
guard, the base plate (7) must not be moved to the rear for
sawing close to edges.
1 609 92A 846 | (04.08.2022) Bosch Power Tools
English | 19
Push the anti-splinter guard (18) into the base plate (7)
from below (as shown in the figure with the groove facing up-
wards).
CutControl (accessory)
CutControl enables the power tool to be guided precisely
along a cutting line marked on the workpiece. CutControl
includes the viewing window (11) with cut marks and the
base (9) for securing to the power tool.
Securing CutControl to the base plate (see figure F)
Firmly insert the viewing window for CutControl (11) into
the brackets on the base (9). Then push the base together
gently and allow it to click into place in the guide (19) on the
base plate (7).
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
u Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Hood (accessories) (see figuresGandH)
Fit the hood (8) before you connect the power tool to the
dust extraction system.
Position the hood (8) on the power tool so that the two outer
brackets engage in the recesses of the housing.
Remove the hood (8) when working without a dust extrac-
tion system and for mitre cuts. To do this, push the hood to-
gether at the level of the outer brackets and remove it by
pulling it forwards.
Connecting the dust extraction system (seefigureI)
Push the dust extraction adapter(20) (accessory) onto an
extraction hose(21) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter(20) to the ex-
traction outlet(6) on the power tool and the extraction
hose(21) to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (18).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Operating modes
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (seefigureJ)
The base plate (7) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The hood (8) and anti-splinter guard (18) cannot be used
while mitre cuts are being made.
– Remove the hood(8), the anti-splinter guard(18) and
the glide shoe(17).
– Pull the saw blade storage compartment(16) out of the
base plate(7).
– Loosen the screw(23) and push the base plate(7)
slightly towards the extraction outlet(6).
– The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on
the left and right so that the precise mitre/bevel angle can
be adjusted. Swivel the base plate(7) to the required po-
sition according to the scale(22). Other mitre/bevel
angles can be adjusted using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate(7) towards the saw blade(10)
as far as it will go.
– Retighten the screw(23).
Cut Control for mitre cuts (see figureK)
To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the
viewing window for CutControl (11) has a mark (24) for
right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (25) for rightward- and
leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale
(22).
The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-
tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for
CutControl (11) using a non-permanent marker and easily
removed again.
We recommend making a test cut for precise results.
Moving the base plate (see figureJ)
You can move the base plate (7) back for sawing close to
edges.
Pull the saw blade storage compartment(16) out of the base
plate(7) or remove the glide shoe(17).
Loosen the screw (23) and push the base plate (7) towards
the extraction outlet (6) as far as it will go.
Retighten the screw (23).
Sawing with an offset base plate (7) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In addition, CutControl must not be used
with the base (9), the parallel guide with circle cutter (27)
(accessory) or the anti-splinter guard (18).

Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Insert the charged battery(4) into the battery receptacle un-
til you feel it engage and it is securely locked in place.
Switching on/off
To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off switch (1)
first. Then press the on/off switch (2) and keep it pressed.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (2) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Controlling the stroke rate
You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool
when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (2) to varying
extents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (2) results in a
low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch
increases the stroke rate.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and
the work conditions and can be determined using practical
tests.
It is recommended that you reduce the stroke rate when
placing the saw blade on the workpiece and when sawing
plastic and aluminium.
During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke rate, the
power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade
and let the power tool run at the maximum stroke rate for
around three minutes to cool down.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the
permitted battery temperature range, the speed is reduced
or the power tool switches off. At reduced speed, the power
tool will run again at full speed once the permitted battery
temperature is reached or the load is reduced. If it automat-
ically shuts down, switch the power tool off, allow the bat-
tery to cool down, then switch the power tool back on.
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator (3) flash
quickly when the temperature of the battery is outside the
operating temperature range of −20 to +50°C and/or the
overload protection has been triggered.
Working Advice
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
u Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
becomes blocked.
u When machining small or thin workpieces, always use
a stable base or saw table (accessory).
Plunge cutting (see figureL)
u Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials,
such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades. Plunge cutting
is possible only with a mitre angle of 0°.
Place the power tool so that the front edge of the base plate
(7) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (10)
touching the workpiece, and switch it on. On power tools
with stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate.
Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow
the saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the base plate (7) rests fully on the workpiece,
continue sawing along the required cutting line.
Parallel guide with circle cutter (accessory)
When working with the parallel guide with circle cutter (27)
(accessory), the workpiece must be no more than 30mm
thick.
Remove the base for CutControl (9) from the base plate
(7). To do this, push the base together gently and remove it
from the guide (19).
Parallel cuts (see figureM): Loosen the locking screw (26)
and slide the scale on the parallel guide through the guide
(19) in the base plate. Adjust the desired cutting width as a
scale value on the inside edge of the base plate. Retighten
the locking screw (26).
Circular cuts (see figureN): Drill a hole large enough to push
the saw blade through on the cutting line within the circle to
be cut. Machine the drill hole with a router or file so that the
saw blade can lie flush with the cutting line.
Position the locking screw (26) on the other side of the par-
allel guide. Slide the scale on the parallel guide through the
guide (19) into the base plate. Drill a hole in the workpiece
in the middle of the section to be cut out. Insert the centring
tip (28) through the inner opening of the parallel guide and
into the drilled hole. Adjust the radius as a scale value on the
inside edge of the base plate. Retighten the locking screw
(26).
Coolant/lubricant
As the material heats up along the cutting line when cutting
metal, you should apply coolant or lubricant.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50°C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
u To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade receptacle regularly. For this, remove
the saw blade from the power tool and lightly tap out the
power tool on a level surface.
If the power tool becomes very dirty, this can lead to serious
faults. For this reason, do not cut materials which generate
large quantities of dust from below or overhead.
If the dust outlet becomes blocked, switch off the power
tool, disconnect the dust extraction system and remove the

Transport
The recommended lithium-ion batteries are subject to legis-
lation on the transport of dangerous goods. The user can
transport the batteries by road without further require-
ments.
When shipping by third parties (e.g.: by air transport or for-
warding agency), special requirements on packaging and la-
belling must be observed. For preparation of the item being
shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is re-
quired.
Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undam-
aged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the bat-
tery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging. Please also observe the possibility of more de-
tailed national regulations.
