Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.

Battery Charging (see figure A)

Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protec-
tion (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the ma-
chine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
Bosch Power Tools
To remove the battery 4, press the battery un-
locking button 5 and pull the battery upward out
of the power tool. Do not exert any force.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A
long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can
be found at the end of these instructions. Use
only T-shank saw blades or saw blades with 1/4"
universal shank (U-shank). The saw blade
should not be longer than required for the in-
tended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Clean the shank of the saw blade before in-
serting it. An unclean shank cannot be fas-
tened securely.
If required, remove the dust cover 11 (see "Dust
Cover").
Push the saw blade holder 17 upward in the di-
rection of the arrow. Insert the saw blade 14
(teeth in cutting direction) to the stop into the
saw blade holder.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that
the back of the saw blade is positioned in the
groove of the guide roller 12.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-
ries.
Removing the Saw Blade (see figure C)
Push the saw blade holder 17 upward in the di-
rection of the arrow and remove the saw blade
14.
