The blade dimensions required for this saw is:
.020" thickness, 1/2" wide and 28-3/4" in
length. The .020" thickness reduces blade
fatique and provide maximum tooth life. To
maximum cutting life, use a blade with correct
pitch (teeth per inch) for the specific cutting job.
Blade are available in several pitches. To
select the proper blade, three factors should be
considered: The size, shape, and type of
material to be cut.
The following suggestions are for selecting the
right blade for various cutting operations. Keep
in mind that these are broad guide lines and
that blade requirement vary depending upon
specific size, shape and type of material to be
cut.
Generally, soft materials require coarse pitch
blade and hard materials require fine pitch
blades. Use coarse pitch blades for thick wood
and fine pitch blades for thin work. It is
important to keep at least three teeth in the cut
(seeTypical Application”.)

1. Use #2 phillips to remove mounting screws
and remove protective cover plates (Fig. 2).
2. Turn tension lock handle located on the front

3. Pull blade out of the guides and remove

1. Firmly press the blade between the guides
and place the blade around the pulleys.

2. Turn tension lock handle 180° counter-

(Fig. 1).
3. Re-install protective cover plates (Fig. 2).
4. Be sure the blade lies freely within the guard
channel before starting the saw.

1. Keep the blade off the workpiece until the

2. Start cutting on a surface where the
greatest number of teeth will be in contact
with the workpiece at one time (Fig. 5).
3. Place the material guide against the
workpiece and lower the moving saw blade

4. Do not apply pressure when cutting. The
weight of the tool will supply adequate
pressure for the fastest cutting.
5. When completing a cut, hold the tool firmly

Your tool 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
forward.
Press the battery pack release button again
and slide the battery pack completely out of
tool housing (Fig. 1).
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.
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
automatically switch to fast-charging once a
suitable temperature is reached.
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. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (4C). 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.

Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger’s
green indicator light will go ON. This indicates
the charger is receiving power and the charger
is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the
charger. The charger’s green indicator light will
begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery
is receiving a fast charge (Fig. 6).
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and
becomes a steady green light) fast charging is
complete. The battery pack is fully charged and
can be removed from the charger.
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.
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 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.
Fast charging is only possible when the
temperature range of the battery pack is
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). When
needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn
on to aid the charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the
correct temperature range, the battery charger
will automatically switch to fast charging.
If the red indicator light is “BLINKING”, the
battery pack cannot accept a charge.
Check to make sure the battery pack is
inserted into the charger properly.
Clean the contacts of the charger or battery
pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the
battery several times) or replace the battery
pack, as required.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug
the charger (unless you're charging another
battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into
