BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
This jigsaw is equipped with the Bosch “One
Touch” tool-less blade changing system.
This system makes changing blades simple
and fast.
Insert the saw blade (teeth in cutting
direction) until it latches in the plunger
(Fig. 2.) When inserting the saw blade, the
back of the blade must rest in the groove of
the guide roller (Fig. 3).
Note: If the saw blade cannot be inserted
into the plunger, the slots of the blade holder
are not positioned as shown, or because the
precision control guides are shut, push the
blade ejector lever briefly to the front and
release (Fig. 4).
To change the saw blade, push the ejector
lever to the center stop; this releases the
precision control guides and ejects the saw
blade (Fig. 4).
When changing the blade, tool should be
held so that the blade is safely ejected.
PRECISION CONTROL
The precision control guides were
designed to improve vertical cut
accuracy of the saw blade.
To use this feature simply press the
precision control button to close the guides
for precision control. The saw blade is now
guided laterally by the precision control
guides which enables precision cuts.
The precision control guides can be used for
all applications, including bevel cuts.
Precision control is recommended for cuts in
thick wood, as the cutting angle is
maintained and run-out of the saw blade is
reduced. Refer to Operating Tips for more
information.
DUST EXTRACTION
(Not included, available as accessory)
A vacuum hose adapter tube and dust shroud
(optional accessory) can be attached for dust
and chip extraction. The vacuum hose adapter
tube serves as the connector to the vacuum
hose.
ATTENTION: The vacuum hose adapter must
only be used with dust shroud when
connected to a vacuum.
To use this feature, attach vacuum hose
adapter tube to footplate. When inserting the
adapter tube into the footplate be sure that the
plastic post of the adapter tube engages into
the corresponding hole on the housing (Fig. 5).
