Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

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.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

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.

Safety Rules for Jigsaws

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Never leave the trigger locked "ON". Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups could cause injury.

Be aware of the location and setting of the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by first pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON" button.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut. The proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.

Keep hands from between the gear housing and saw blade holder. The reciprocating blade holder can pinch your fingers.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback.

Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.

Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders

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.
