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.

!WARNING If the “Lock-ON” button is continuously being depressed,

the trigger can not be released.

CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRy 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.

BLADE ORBIT SELECTOR LEVER

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.

Setting O

Hard materials such as metals or thin sheet metals. This setting can be used with knife blades, grit edge blades,

rasp work and down cutting blades.

Setting I

Soft materials where cleaner cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed.

Setting II

Medium density materials such as harder woods or particle board.

Setting III

Soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. and when fast cutting is more important than a clean cut.

CHIP BLOWER

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;

BLOWER SWITCHED ON For working with wood, plastic and similar materials that produce large amounts of sawdust.

BLOWER SWITCHED OFF For working with metals and when cooling agents are used, or with dust collection accessory.

FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts up to 45° in either direction (Fig. 6).

To adjust footplate, remove dust shroud if used, loosen the footplate screw and slide the footplate slightly forward towards the back of tool, then rotate to desired angle (Fig. 6).

The detent slots will hold the footplate firmly at 0°, and there are additional position marks for 15°, 22.5° 30° and 45° angles. Intermediate angles may be set with a protractor (Fig. 6).

After positioning the footplate, securely tighten the footplate screw (Fig. 6).

JS470EB, JS470E specifications

The Bosch Power Tools JS470E and JS470EB are two exceptional jigsaws designed for both professional and hobbyist craftsmen who prioritize accuracy, power, and versatility in their cutting tasks. Known for their robust construction and innovative features, these jigsaws stand out in the competitive market of power tools.

A significant feature of both models is their powerful 7.0-amp motor, which offers a variable speed range from 500 to 3,100 strokes per minute. This capability enables precise control over cutting speed, making it suitable for various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. The jigsaws also feature Bosch's patented Smart Grip technology, which provides better handling and comfort during extended use, thereby reducing user fatigue.

One of the standout characteristics of the JS470E and JS470EB is the included Bosch Precision Control II system. This technology ensures straight and accurate cuts, minimizing blade wander and resulting in cleaner lines. Both models incorporate a four orbital-action setting, allowing users to adjust the saw’s cutting action based on their specific material and application needs. This versatility makes them suitable for intricate work as well as faster, rough cuts.

Safety is another key consideration in the design of the JS470E and JS470EB. Both tools come equipped with a blade ejection system that allows for quick and tool-free blade changes, reducing downtime. Their robust base plates also add to stability, ensuring that users can achieve consistent results, even when cutting through tough or dense materials.

The JS470EB model further enhances usability with its ergonomic design. It comes with an onboard dust blower that keeps the cutting line visible by clearing away debris, an essential feature during detailed work. Additionally, the tool is equipped with a soft-grip handle, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip, which is especially important during prolonged usage.

In summary, the Bosch Power Tools JS470E and JS470EB jigsaws offer a compelling combination of power, precision, and user-friendly features. Their advanced technologies, such as the Precision Control II system and ergonomic designs, ensure they can meet the demands of various cutting tasks, making them an excellent addition to any toolkit.
