Bosch Power Tools 2 609 932 557 | (11.11.08)

A significantly reduced working period after

charging indicates that the battery is used and

must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade

f Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.

maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as

during transport and storage, remove the

battery from the power tool. There is danger

of injury when unintentionally actuating the

On/Off switch.

f When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-

tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching

the saw blade.

f When changing the saw blade, take care

that the saw blade holder is free of material

residue, 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 ar-

row 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.

f 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)

f When ejecting the saw blade, hold the ma-

chine in such a manner that no persons or

animals 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

f 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

connection with wood-treatment additives

(chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by

specialists.

– Provide for good ventilation of the work-

ing place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-

class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your

country for the materials to be worked.

Operation

Operating Modes

Pivoting Footplate (see figure C)

Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2

adapts to the required angular position of the

surface.

Utility Hook (see figure D)

Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 9 for

hanging it, e. g., to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out

the utility hook 9 to the required position.

f When the tool is hanging by the utility hook,

ensure that the saw blade is protected

against unintended contact. Danger of injury.

Fold the utility hook 9 back in again when you

are ready to continue working.
