The JA1012 Dust Extraction Kit includes a dust
shroud and an extraction tube for connecting
the jigsaw to a vacuum hose or vacuum hose
adapter.
6;,The dust shroud must be used when the
extraction tube is connected to a vacuum
cleaner system.
To use this feature, insert extraction tube into
footplate. (Fig. 4).

This jigsaw is equipped with a Bosch tool-less
blade changing system for fast and easy
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).
6;,If the saw blade cannot be inserted into
the plunger, the slots of the blade holder are
not in the correct position.

Your tool is equipped with a protective plastic
overshoe that protects finer surfaces. An
optional heavy-duty steel overshoe for work in
rough conditions is sold separately.
To attach, slide overshoe in direction of arrow
completely onto metal footplate (Fig. 6).
! ! !
To minimize splintering of the top surface of
the material being cut, place the anti-splinter
insert in the blade opening of the footplate’s
plastic overshoe (Fig. 7).
6;, The anti-splinter insert cannot be used
when the footplate is tilted for angle cutting.

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 tool is switched “ON” by the switch button
located at the side of the motor housing. The
switch locks in the “ON” position, a
convenience for continuous operation (Fig. 1).

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger
switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed
can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum
SPM as set on the variable speed dial by the
pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed.
Regardless of the pressure applied on the
trigger, the tool will not operate any faster than
maximum speed setting selected on the
variable speed dial.
"!!6+,3 653@
The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of
your tool allows for continuous operation at
maximum preset SPM without holding the
trigger (Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.

Your tool is equipped with a work light for better
visibility during operation. The tool power cord
must be plugged into a power source before
you activate the light. To turn light ON depress
the work light ON/OFF switch. To turn light off
depress the ON/OFF switch again (Fig. 1).

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.

Your jigsaw is equipped with a two position
chip blower to help keep the cutting line clear
of chips.
By adjusting the chip blower lever the force
of the discharge air may be altered as
follows;

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,
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.

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)
on the clamp(s) (Fig. 13).
"!!
Parallel cuts can be made from 5/8” to 6” in
from the edge of the workpiece.
1. The guide fence surface needs to be
positioned ALONGSIDE the workpiece
(Fig. 14).
2. Hook clamp(s) onto footplate, adjust fence
to desired width and place lock knob(s) on
proper side of clamp(s)
3. Securely tighten lock knob(s) on the
clamp(s) (Fig. 13).

4. Insert jig saw plug into power source, hold
the saw firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly
push the saw forward (Fig. 14).
"!!
Circle cuts can be made from 5” to 16-1/2” in
diameter
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.
