Assembly
Disconnect battery pack
from tool before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Preparing the Saw
BLADE SELECTION
No one blade can be efficient on all cutting
jobs. Different materials require specially
designed blades. Since your reciprocating saw
can cut so many materials, many types of
BOSCH blades are available. Be sure to use
the proper blade to ensure proper cutting
performance.
INSTALLING A BLADE
1. Insert the blade into the blade holder by
twisting the collar in direction of arrow until it
stops (Fig. 2).
2. Insert a blade into blade slot until blades
shoulder rests against the collar.
3. Release collar and spring loaded collar will
securely clamp the blade. (Note: If the collar
does not return to it’s original position, rotate
the collar in direction opposite of the arrow.)
4 Push in and pull out on the blade to be
sure the pin in the clamp housing goes
through the hole in the blade to hold the blade
securely. The blade may be inserted with the
teeth facing down or up.
5. To remove the blade, rotate the collar in
direction of arrow while pulling the blade out of
the blade slot. (Note: be careful, blade may be
hot.)
Make sure that the front
end of the blade extends
through the footplate for the entire stroke
length. Do not use specialty blades that are
very short or those with a significant cant.
Blade must not contact footplate. A blade
which is too short or tilted could jam inside the
foot and snap.
