This jigsaw is equipped with a Bosch tool-less

changes of T-shank blades.

6;, This jigsaw does not accept U-shank

blades.

If blade is not properly

installed, then the blade may

unexpectedly dislodge from jigsaw when tool is

energized.

1. To remove a previously-used blade, pull

blade change lever until blade ejects (Fig. 2).

Blade ejects forcefully when

released. Direct away from

yourself or bystanders.

2. Pull the blade change lever to the point that

the notch on the blade clamp's ring line up with

the slot in the center of the clamp (Fig. 2).

3. Insert the saw blade (teeth in cutting

direction) until it the “T” part of the blade shank

is completely inserted in to the blade clamp.

(When inserting the saw blade, the back of the

blade must rest in the grooves in double roller

guide Fig. 3.)

4. When blade change lever is released, it will

spring back to its closed position.

5. Verify that the blade clamp has also

returned to its closed position (which is the

point where slots were previously).

The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate

required depends on the material being cut,

the type of blade being used, and the feed rate

preferred by the operator.

The best speed for a particular application is

largely determined by experience though as a

general rule, slower speeds are for denser

materials and faster speeds for softer materials.

6;, that when the jigsaw is used at low

speed settings for an extended length of time,

the motor temperature will rise due to slower

speeds of the internal cooling fan. In such

cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the

tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the

motor running at high efficiency.

# 

Your Jigsaw is equipped with a variable speed

dial. The blade stroke rate may be adjusted

during cutting operation by presetting the dial

on or between any one of the six numbers (Fig. 5).

The internal electronic feedback system

provides a "soft start", which will reduce the

stresses that occur from a high torque start.

The system also maintains the selected

speed under load for maximum efficiency.

Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained

by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to

suit the material being cut.

The following chart will help you determine

which setting to use for your application. This

chart is intended as a guideline only, and test

cuts in scrap material should be performed

first to determine the best setting.

The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts

up to 45° in either direction (Fig. 8).

6;, before adjusting the footplate, remove

dust shroud and anti-splinter if used.

Open the lock lever to unlock footplate. Push

and hold the footplate firmly towards the back

of tool as shown. While holding the footplate

backwards tilt footplate to desired angle on

bevel scale, then release pressure on footplate

so it engages into detent at desired angle (Fig. 8).

Your tool has detent slots the footplate will

engage at 0° & 45°, and there are additional

position marks for 15°, 22.5° and 30° angles.

Close the lock lever slowly to assure that

footplate is locked at the desired angle.

!!

Always be certain that smaller workpieces

are securely fastened to a bench or other

support. Larger panels may be held in place

by clamps on a bench or sawhorses.

To begin a cut, clearly mark the cutting line,

and rest the front of the footplate on the work.

Engage the switch, and move the blade into

the work using only enough forward pressure

to keep the blade cutting steadily. Do not

force, as this will not make the saw cut faster;

let the blade do the work.

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. Don’t use extraction.

Use of reverse-tooth blade such as the Bosch

T101BR requires the orbital setting to be “0”

and that downward pressure be applied to the

top of the saw.

""!!

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. The longest blade to be used for

plunge cutting is 3-1/8" (80 mm). Footplate

must be set 0° setting. (Fig. 9).

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. Turn the tool on and run at

top speed, and then very gradually lower the

blade (Fig. 10).

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.

Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials

such as steel.

To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,

The JA1010 is used for fast and accurate

straight and circle cutting. It includes the

guide, two clamps for attaching it to the jig

saw (A), and a center pin for guiding circle

cuts (B). The clamps and the centering pin

can be stored on the guide (Fig. 11).

One end of the clamp is used to attach the

guide’s bar to jig saws that have narrow tops

on their footplate mounting slots (C) and the

other end is used to attach the guide’s bar to

jig saws that have wide tops on their footplate

mounting slots (D) (Fig. 12).

When possible, attach the bar to the jig saw

using both clamps for enhanced grip and

precision.

!!"! $

1. Orient the blade clamp so that the proper

end is placed on the jig saw foot from

either side of the tool.

2. Insert guide bar through a clamp, then

through the slots provided in foot, with the

guide’s fence orientated correctly for the

intended application, parallel cutting or

circle cutting. (If possible, place second

clamp on bar from opposite side of jig

saw.)

3. Place lock knob(s) on proper side of

clamp(s) and securely tighten lock knob(s)

Parallel cuts can be made from 5/8” to 6” in

Circle cuts can be made from 5” to 16-1/2” in

1. Determine the center point of the desired

circle.

2. Drill a 3/16” (5 mm) center hole 7/8” (23

mm) deep in workpiece. (For enhanced

precision, drill the hole using a drill press, if

possible).

3. Drill or plunge cut near the circle’s edge,

turn saw off, and disconnect the plug from

power source.

4. Insert guide bar through a clamp, then

through the slots provided in foot, from

either side of foot (Fig. 15). (If possible,

place second clamp on bar from opposite

side of jig saw).

5. Remove guide pin from end of guide, push

pin through proper hole provided in guide,

then into center hole of workpiece. (When

used with a Bosch JS572 jig saw --- or the

JS180 cordless jig saw --- the holes labeled

for the JS572 should be used.) For other jig

saws, one of the other holes should be

used.

6. Measure the distance from the center of the

hole to the desired circle radius. Adjust that

measurement as necessary to account for

the width of the blade:

- When cutting a hole, cut from inside the

intended radius.

- When cutting wheels or discs, cut from the

outside the intended radius.

7. Hook clamp(s) onto footplate, and position

the guide to that adjusted radius

measurement.

8. Place lock knob(s) on proper side of

clamp(s) and securely tighten lock knob(s)

on the clamp(s) (Fig. 13).

9. Insert jig saw plug into power source, hold

the saw firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly

push the saw forward.

• Place small wedges in the cut as shown in

Fig. 16, to keep the inner circle from

spreading when near the end of the cut.

• Use a thick jig saw blade, such as the Bosh

T101TP or T144DP whenever possible.

• Make sure that the jig saw orbital setting is

at 0 (zero)

• Cut slowly so the blade will stay straight in

the cut.
