If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking sleeve
4 approx. 90° in the direction of the arrow 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.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be turned
through 180° (with the teeth pointed upwards) and
re-inserted again.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the
machine 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 direction
of the arrow. The saw blade 1 is ejected.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the Battery
Use only original Bosch lithium ion batteries
with the voltage listed on the nameplate of
your power tool. Using other batteries can lead
to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
To protect the machine against unintentional starting,
set the stroke speed selector switch 7 to the centre
position. Insert the charged battery 11 from the front
into the handle of the power tool. Push the battery
completely into the handle until the red stripe can no
longer be seen and the battery is securely locked.
Changing the Stroke Speed Setting
The stroke speed setting of the power tool can be
changed with the stroke speed selector switch 7.
However, this is not possible when the On/Off switch
9 is pressed.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – central posi-
tion:
The safety lock is activated.
The On/Off switch 9 is blocked and
the machine is secured against
being switched on unintentionally.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – left:
1. Gear, low stroke speed.
18 | English
The low stroke speed is suitable for
sawing hard materials such as steel,
non-ferrous metal, hard plastics or
for precision cuts in wood and
plunge cutting.
The low stroke speed enables saw-
ing with less vibrations.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – right:
2. Gear, high stroke speed.
The high stroke speed is suitable for
sawing soft materials.
The high stroke speed enables
quicker operational progress, e. g.,
for coarse cuts in wood.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 9 and
keep it depressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 9.
Controling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off
switch 9 enables stepless stroke-rate control of the
switched-on machine.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material
and the working conditions and can be determined by
a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the
saw blade engages in the material as well as when
sawing plastic and aluminium.
Temperature Control Indicator
The red LED of the temperature control indicator 12
signals that the battery or the electronics of the power
tool (when the battery is inserted) are not within the
optimum temperature range. In this case, the power
tool will not operate at full capacity.
Temperature control of the battery:
• The red LED 12 lights up continuously after insert-
ing the battery into the charger: The battery is not
within the charging temperature range between
0 °C and 45 °C and cannot be charged.
• The red LED 12 flashes when pushing button 14
or pressing the On/Off switch 9 (when the battery
is inserted): The battery is not wihin the tempera-
ture range for operation of –10 °C to +60 °C.
• The battery switches off at a temperature above
70 °C until the optimum temperature range is
reached again.
Temperature control of the power tool electronics:
• The red LED 12 lights up continuously when
pressing the On/Off switch 9: The temperature of
the power tool electronics is above 75 °C.
• At a temperature above 90 °C , the electronics of
the power tool switch off until the temperature is
within the allowable temperature range again.
