How do I replace the blade on my BOSCH GKS 235 Turbo Hand Held Circular Saw?

[MacArya]

Changing the blade on your BOSCH GKS 235 Turbo Hand Held Circular Saw is a straightforward process. First, always unplug the saw from the power outlet for safety. Wear protective gloves to protect your hands. Locate the spindle lock button, usually found on the side of the saw near the blade, and press and hold it. Using the hex key that came with your saw, loosen the clamping bolt on the blade by turning it counterclockwise. Carefully swing the retracting blade guard back and hold it securely. Remove the clamping flange and the old blade from the saw spindle. Before installing the new blade, clean the saw blade and all clamping components. Place the new blade onto the mounting flange, making sure the cutting direction of the blade's teeth matches the rotational arrow indicated on the saw's protective guard. Replace the clamping flange and tighten the clamping bolt clockwise using the hex key. Tighten it firmly, aiming for a torque of 10-12 Nm (hand-tight plus a ¼ turn). Release the spindle lock button and allow the retracting blade guard to return to its position. Double-check that the new blade is securely fastened before using the saw.
