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 insure 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
!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 canted could jam inside the foot and snap.
