INSERTING AND CHANGING THE BLADE
The machine is equipped with a Bosch
"Clic" blade-clamping device. This feature
makes changing blades simple and fast
without additional tools.
FLUSH-CUT SAW BLADE
This blade’s teeth are offset from the blade
guide, which facilitates flush cutting. The
flush-cut saw blade can be attached to the
tool depending on desired sawing direction,
or personal preference (Fig. 3).
Hook the respective small tab for sawing
direction (A) or (B) completely onto hook as
shown in figures 4 or 5 depending on
personal preference.
Then swing the saw blade in the direction of
the arrow and press the large tab onto the
locking spring until it latches.
If necessary, wipe the blade clean. Only then
should the saw teeth protector be removed.
Insert plug into power source and turn tool
on briefly (See Operating Instructions for
Saw Section). This will allow the saw blade
pin to engage into the blade to drive the
blade back and forth. Turn tool off.
To change the blade, place the saw teeth
protector onto the blade and press the
“Clic” button. This causes the tab to spring
out of the locking spring, then remove the
blade.
GENERAL PURPOSE SAW BLADE
The general purpose saw blade can also be
attached depending on desired sawing
direction or personal preference (Fig. 6).
Hook the respective small tab for sawing
direction (C) or (D) completely onto hook as
shown in figures 7 or 8 depending on
personal preference.
Then swing the saw blade in the direction of
the arrow and press the large tab onto the
locking spring until it latches.
