Installing the Saw Blade

Disconnect the air hose from the air supply be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
The Bosch SDS system provides a
simple and convenient way to change
saw blades without any tools.
When removing a saw blade, avoid contact with
skin and use proper protective gloves when
grasping the blade or accessory. Saw blades and
accessories may become hot during prolonged use.
To install the saw blade, set the orbit
selector switch 9 to setting III. This
position provides the easiest insertion
access for the saw blade.

Insert the saw blade 11 into the opening of the plunger
13 perpendicular to the cutting direction. There are
two small grooves in the blade plunger into which the
"T-tabs" on the blade fit precisely. Turn the saw blade
11 90° in the cutting direction and push it into the
groove of the roller guide 12. The saw teeth should
now point towards the front of the saw. Pull the saw
blade 11 slightly downward.
Turn the barrel grip 2 clockwise until you hear the lock-
ing mechanism engage or "click" a few times. Pull the
orange-colored SDS blade change button 1 back up.
This locks the barrel grip in place.
Check that the saw blades are seated firmly in
the tool before you connect the tool to the air
supply. Saw blades that are not clamped properly in
the appropriate holder may slip out and can cause
damage to the workpiece or injury to you or others.
