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

!WARNING Unplug tool from power source before changing blade

or making any adjustments.

1.Insert the blade into the LockJaw™ blade holder until the locking collar automatically rotates clockwise and locks the blade in place (Fig. 2). Note: if the blade will not lock automatically, rotate the locking collar counter-

clockwise until it clicks and locks in the open position (Fig. 3).

2Push 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.

3.To remove the blade, rotate the locking collar counter-clockwise and the blade will automatically eject from the LockJaw™ blade holder and lock the collar in the open position.

!WARNING 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.
