For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be in-
serted turned through by 180° and the sabre
saw can be guided accordingly in a reversed
manner.
Flush Cuts (see figure F)
Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still at-
tached to a wall (e. g. projecting building ele-
ments such as water pipes, etc.) can be sawn off
flush at the wall.
Pay attention that the saw blade always ex-
tends beyond 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 com-
pressed air or a soft brush. Remove the saw
blade from the power tool for this. Ensure prop-
er operation of the saw blade holder by applying
a suitable lubricant.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to
malfunctions. Therefore, do not saw materials
that produce a lot of dust from below or over-
head.
If the replacement of the supply cord is neces-
sary, this has to be done by Bosch or an author-
ized Bosch service agent in order to avoid a safe-
ty hazard.
