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 ensure proper cutting

performance.

"#

1. Insert the blade into the blade holder by

twisting the collar in direction of arrow until it

stops (Fig. 2).

2. Insert a blade into blade slot until blades

shoulder rests against the collar.

3. Release collar and spring loaded collar will

securely clamp the blade. (8=. If the collar

does not return to it’s original position, rotate

the collar in direction opposite of the arrow.)

4 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

s

ecurely. The blade may be inserted with the

teeth facing down or up.

5. To remove the blade, rotate the collar in

direction of arrow while pulling the blade out of

the blade slot. (8=. be careful, blade may be

hot.)

Make sure that the front end

of the blade extends through

the footplate for the entire stroke length. Do

not use specialty blades that are very short or

those with a significant cant. Blade must not

contact footplate. A blade which is too short or

tilted could jam inside the foot and snap.

1. The charger was designed to fast charge

the battery only when the battery

temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and

113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or

too cold, the charger will not fast charge the

battery. (This may happen if the battery pack

is hot from heavy use). When the battery

temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C)

and 113˚F (45˚C), the charger will

automatically begin charging.

2. A substantial drop in operating time per

charge may mean that the battery pack is

nearing the end of its life and should be

replaced.

3. Remember to unplug charger during

storage period.

4. If battery does not charge properly:

a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging

in some other electrical device.

b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a

light switch which turns power “off” when

lights are turned off.

c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.

Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if

necessary.

d. If you still do not get proper charging,

take or send tool, battery pack and charger

to your local Bosch Service Center. See

“Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for

names and addresses.

sold by Bosch will void the warranty.

The lithium ion battery is protected against

deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell

Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is empty,

the tool is switched off by means of a

protective circuit.

The battery is supplied partially charged.

Completely charge the battery before using

your cordless screwdriver for the first time.

The lithium ion battery can be charged at any

time, without reducing its service life.

Interrupting the charging procedure does not

damage the battery.

Plug charger cord into your standard power

outlet, then insert battery pack into charger

(Fig. 4).

The charger’s green indicator light will begin to

“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is

receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will

automatically stop when the battery pack is

fully charged.

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”

(and becomes a steady green light) fast

charging is complete.

The battery pack may be used even though

the light may still be blinking. The light may

require more time to stop blinking depending

on temperature. When you begin the

charging process of the battery pack, a

steady red light could also mean the battery

pack is too hot or too cold.

The purpose of the green light is to indicate

that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does

not indicate the exact point of full charge.

The light will stop blinking in less time if the

battery pack was not completely discharged.

When charging several batteries in sequence,

the charge time may slightly increase.

When the battery pack is fully charged,

unplug the charger (unless you're charging

another battery pack) and slip the battery

pack back into the tool.

!##!( 8-.5

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger

is not receiving power from power supply

outlet.

If the green indicator light is

“ON”, the charger is plugged in

but the battery pack is not

inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged

and is being trickle charged.

If the green indicator light is

“BLINKING”, the battery pack is

being fast-charged. Fast-

charging will automatically stop when the

battery pack is fully charged.

If the red indicator light is “ON”,

the battery pack is too hot or

cold for fast-charging. The

charger will switch to trickle charge, until a

suitable temperature is reached, at which

time the charger will switch automatically to

fast-charging.

If the red indicator light is

“BLINKING”, the battery pack

cannot accept a charge or the

contacts of the charger or battery pack are

contaminated. Clean the contacts of the

charger or battery pack only as directed in

these operating instructions or those

supplied with your tool or battery pack.

1. Securely clamp the work.

2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with

one hand on the handle and the other

placed on the insulated rubber boot over

the front housing.

Always hold the saw by the

insulated boot on the front

housing. If you saw into a blind area where

live wiring exists, you may be shocked or

electrocuted.

3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the

work to minimize counter-force (jumping)

and vibration.

4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the

saw reach full speed before starting the cut.

Guide the saw so that the blade will move

along the marked line.

"&# "

Following a few simple tips will reduce the

wear on the workpiece, the tool and the

operator.

1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On

fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc.,

place the good side of workpiece facing

down.

2. Use the correct saw blade for the material

being cut and keep extra blades on hand to

use when others become dull. Replace

cracked or bent blades immediately.

3. Select the appropriate cutting speed.

4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the

blade always extends beyond the footplate

and work throughout the stroke. Blades

may shatter if the front on the blade hits the

work and/or the footplate.

5. When cutting metal:

- Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother,

faster cutting and longer blade life.

- For non-ferrous metals, aluminum,

bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the

blade.

- For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use

machine or cutting oil along the surface

to be cut.

material between two pieces of scrap wood.

Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of

The reciprocating saw can be used to make

plunge cuts into softer material, (for example,

wood or light building materials for walls),

without a starting hole (Fig. 5).

1. Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work.

2. Set the tool with one edge of the footplate

firmly against the material.

3. Place the tip of the blade (not running) on

the line to be cut.

4. Tilt the saw so that the blade clears the

work.

5

. Squeeze the trigger switch and carefully

engage the moving saw blade into the

material.

6. After the blade penetrates through the work,

continue sawing along the marked outline.

#"

To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy

gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth

facing upward, and hold the saw upside down

as shown (Fig. 6).

Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces.

In thick materials and in harder materials, such

as metal, plunge cutting should not be

attempted. Such materials can be cut with the

recip saw only by starting the cut from the

edge of the material or from a hole drilled all

the way through the material that is large

enough to fit the saw blade.

The use of any accessories

not specified in this manual

may create a hazard.
