So I have one of the Bosch jig saws w the orange center button on the top knob.
To change blade, one pushes in the orange button.
I have had some troubles since Day One w blade changing...
Mechanism seems intermittently weird.
Sometimes seems to take fooling around to get the blade grabbed and clamped.
You Guys w these saws know what I am talking about.
Yes, I have read and re read the instructions.
Yes, I am using the correct blades.
Even Branded Bosch.
Used it just fine after installing new blade few days ago.
Removed blade to make saw fit in case.
Today, tried to re install blade...
No matter what I did, it will not "Grab" and tighten up.
**** At this point, I have NOOO idea how many times I have turned it in both directions.
Gave up after 15 minutes of trying different things.
I have NO clue what kind of clamp mechanism is in there..
Seems kinda mysterious.
Do I have a defective form Day One Saw ??
Always acted intermittently... sometimes grabs and tightens right away, other times need to jack w it for a few tries.
I have had it for years, purchased new, but VERY gently and seldom used.
What is going on ??
