Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, first press the lock-off button 3
right or left. Then press the On/Off switch 4 and keep it
pressed.
You can let go of the lock-off button 3 while the tool is
switched on.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 4.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer moves.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Controlling the Sawing Speed
The sawing speed of the switched-on power tool can be varia-
bly adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 4 is
pressed.
The required sawing speed is dependent on the material and
the work conditions and can be determined by practical trials.
It is recommended that you reduce the sawing speed when
putting the saw blade on the workpiece.
Battery Charge-control Indication
The battery charge-control indicator 8 displays the charge
condition of the battery for several seconds when the On/Off
switch 4 is half-pressed or fully pressed; it consists of an LED
with two colours.

Flashing light, red*
* The battery charge-control indicator also flashes red when the battery
overheats or is overloaded.
Working Advice (see figures C – F)
When sawing small or thin workpieces, always use a
firm support.
When sawing, ensure that the cutting direction is from
the front backwards (see figure E) or from the top
downwards (see figure C)!
Do not carry the power tool on your wrist! The suspen-
sion strap is intended only for storage.
Saw with moderate pressure in order to achieve optimal and
precise cutting results. Applying additional pressure increas-
es performance.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the gap somewhat with a suitable tool and pull
out the machine.
Temperature-dependent Overload Protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is placed under too much pressure or
the permitted battery temperature range is left, the tool
Bosch Power Tools
switches off. Following an automatic shut-off, switch off the
power tool, allow the battery to cool and then switch the pow-
er tool back on.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning (see figure G)
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.), remove the battery from the
power tool. There is danger of injury when unintentionally
actuating the On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade and the saw blade receptacle dry
only. Use a fine brush to remove more deep-seated dirt.
The saw blade is maintenance-free. The chain of the saw
blade does not need to be oiled.
Clean the SDS saw blade receptacle regularly. To do so, re-
move the saw blade from the power tool and lightly tap out the
power tool on a level surface.
Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
Capacity
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of
≥30 %
dust from below or overhead.
