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
performance.
Installing a Blade
1. Insert the blade into the LockJaw™ blade
holder until
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).
2 Push 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 counter-clockwise and the blade
will automatically eject from the
LockJaw™ blade holder and lock the
collar in the open position.

the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Set 'Dual speed selector switch and
trigger lock' to the center (locked)
position. Slide charged battery pack into
the housing until the battery pack locks
into position (Fig. 1).
Your battery pack is equipped with a
secondary locking latch to prevent the
battery pack from completely falling out
of the handle, should it become loose
due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the
battery pack release button and slide
the battery pack backward. Press the
battery pack release button again and
slide the battery pack completely out of
tool housing.
