Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the power tool, remove
the battery.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
When changing the saw blade, take care that
the saw blade holder is free of material resi-
due, e. g. wood or metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material be-
ing worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be
found at the beginning of these operating in-
structions. Use only saw blades with single-nose
shank. The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A)
Press the saw blade 1 firmly into the saw blade
holder 3 until it can clearly be heard to engage.
This causes the locking sleeve 4 to turn by ap-
prox. 90° and locks the saw blade.
If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking
sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the direction of the arrow
until it locks in the open position and a "click"
can be heard. Then press the saw blade 1 into
the saw blade holder 3 again.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-
ries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be
turned through 180° (with the teeth pointed up-
wards) and re-inserted again.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the power
tool in such a manner that no persons or an-
imals can be injured by the ejected saw
blade.
Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the di-
rection of the arrow. The saw blade 1 is ejected.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your coun-
try for the materials to be worked.
Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Use only original Bosch lithium ion batteries
with the voltage listed on the nameplate of
your power tool. Using other batteries can
lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
To protect the machine against unintentional
starting, set the stroke speed selector switch 6
to the center position. Insert the charged battery
9 from the front into the handle of the power
tool. Push the battery completely into the handle
until the red stripe can no longer be seen and the
battery is securely locked.
Changing the Stroke Speed Setting
The stroke speed setting of the power tool can
be changed with the stroke speed selector
switch 6. However, this is not possible when the
On/Off switch 7 is pressed.
