BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
This jigsaw is equipped with the Bosch
"Clic" tooless 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. When
inserting the saw blade, the back of the
blade must rest in the groove of the guide
roller (Fig. 2).
Note: If the saw blade cannot be inserting
into the plunger, the slots of the blade holder
are not positioned as shown, push the blade
ejector lever briefly to the front and release.
To change the saw blade, push the ejector
lever to the center stop; this releases the
saw blade and it is ejected.
When changing the blade, tool should be
held so that the blade is safely ejected.

Your tool is equipped with a protective
plastic overshoe that protects finer surfaces.
To attach, hook overshoe over front of metal
footplate and snap into place at rear of
footplate (Fig. 3).
ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT
To minimize splintering of the top surface of
the material being cut, place the anti-splinter
insert in the blade opening of the footplate,
or the non-marring overshoe.
Note: This insert will only work with blades
that have ground sides such as T301CD,
TB1B, T101D, and T101DP.
