Jigsaw Bosch 0 601 512 003

The Bosch 0 601 512 003 jigsaw is a corded electric saw designed for versatile cutting tasks in wood, aluminum and non-alloyed steel. It is powered by a 780 W motor and weighs approximately 2.6 kg, providing a balance of power and manageable handling for workshop and on-site applications. The tool delivers a no-load stroke rate up to 3100 spm and a stroke height of 2.6 cm, with cutting depths of up to 150 mm in wood, 20 mm in aluminum and 10 mm in non-alloyed steel. A 4 m power cable supports flexible positioning during work.

Advantages

The Bosch jigsaw offers high power reserves for demanding cuts thanks to its 780 W motor and an overload-capable design. A robust, bend-resistant sole plate increases durability and stability during heavy use, while the new blade clamping system and tool-free blade change enable fast, precise blade swaps. Ergonomic softgrip surfaces improve handling comfort, and electronic speed preselection together with a 4-stage pendulum action allow adaptation from fine to coarse cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and rip cuts in soft and hard wood up to 150 mm depth
• Curved and straight cuts in sheet aluminum up to 20 mm
• Cutting thin non-alloyed steel panels up to 10 mm
• Work that requires frequent blade changes and variable cutting speeds

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the cutting line before switching on the jigsaw. Select the appropriate saw blade for the material and insert it using the tool-free clamping system, ensuring it is locked in place. Set the speed with the electronic preselection and choose the pendulum action stage according to the desired cut quality. Start the tool and guide it steadily along the cutting line, applying consistent, moderate pressure; avoid forcing the blade. After completing the cut, switch off the tool and wait for the blade to stop before setting the jigsaw down or changing blades.

Usage recommendations

Use blades matched to the material and thickness for optimal results, keep the sole plate clean and flat to maintain cutting accuracy, and wear appropriate eye and hearing protection. For long cuts or demanding applications, allow the motor to run at a suitable speed rather than forcing progress to avoid overheating.
