Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

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.
8=. Use of chargers or battery packs not
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.

. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the
material between two pieces of scrap wood.
Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of
lumber on top of the metal can be used with
adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or
design on the wood.
7. Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and
blade do the work.
# $$#"
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.
