Blade Installation And Removal
Ensure tool speed setting is
less than or equal to the
speed rating of the blade. Operating tool at
speed higher than blade speed rating may result
in serious personal injury and property damage.

This jigsaw is equipped with a Bosch tool-less
blade changing system for fast and easy changes
of T-shank blades. (Note: This jigsaw does not
accept U-shank blades.)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before insert-
ing it. A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in
place.
If blade is not properly installed, then the blade
may unexpectedly dislodge from jigsaw when
tool is energized.
1. Pull the Blade Release Lever 12 to the point
that the slots on the blade clamp's ring line
up with the slot in the center of the clamp
(Fig. 3 & 4).
2. To remove a previously-used blade, simply
pull it out of the blade clamp (Fig. 5).
3. Insert the Saw Blade 9 (teeth in cutting di-
rection) until the "T" part of the blade shank
is completely inserted into the Blade Clamp
11. When inserting the saw blade, the back
of the blade must rest in the groove of the
Saw Blade Guide 8 (Fig. 4).
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that
the saw blade is between the jaws of the saw
blade guide.
4. When Blade Release Lever 12 is released, it
will spring back to its closed position.
5. Verify that the Blade Clamp 11 has also re-
turned to its closed position (which is the
point where slots were previously).
