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

(see “Typical 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-

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 (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.

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
