Blade Selection
No one blade can be efficient on all
cutting jobs. Different materials require
specially designed blades. Since your
r e c i p r o c a t i n g s a w c a n c u t s o m a n y
materials, many types of Bosch blades
are available. Be sure to use the proper
b l a d e t o e n s u r e p r o p e r c u t t i n g
performance.
Installing and Removing
a Blade
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. (
Note:
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 securely. 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. (Note: be careful,
blade may be hot.)
Make sure that the
f r o n t e n d o f t h e
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.
