Installing or removing the recipro
saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for -
eign matter adhering to the blade and around the
blade clamp.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
To install the recipro saw blade, always make sure that
the blade clamp lever (part of the blade clamp sleeve)
is in released position on the insulation cover before
inserting the recipro saw blade. If the blade clamp lever
is in fixed position, rotate the blade clamp lever in the
direction of the arrow so that it can be locked at the
released positon .
► Fig.5: 1. Blade clamp lever 2. Released position
3. Fixed position
Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far
as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes
the recipro saw blade. Make sure that the recipro saw
blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull
it out.

CAUTION:
If you do not insert the recipro saw
blade deep enough, the recipro saw blade may be
ejected unexpectedly during operation. This can
be extremely dangerous.
To remove the recipro saw blade, rotate the blade
clamp lever in the direction of the arrow fully. The reci -
pro saw blade is removed and the blade clamp lever is
fixed at the released position .
