The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
The following table shows examples of application tools. You can find additional application tools in Bosch's extensive range of
accessories.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
To remove the battery (3), press the battery release button
(4) and pull the battery to the rear and out of the power tool.
Do not use force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
The battery charge indicator (6) indicates the remaining bat-
tery capacity or an overload when the power tool is switched
on.
LED
Green continuous light
Yellow continuous light
Red continuous light
If the battery charge indicator (6) flashes red, the power tool
is overloaded (see "Temperature-dependent overload pro-
tection", page 24).
Changing the tool
Wear protective gloves when changing tools. There is
u
a risk of injury when touching the application tools.
Selecting an Application Tool
Please observe the application tools intended for your power
tool.
Application tool
Application
Separating cuts and plunge saw cuts;
including sawing close to edges, in corners and in difficult-
to-reach areas;
example: Shortening skirting boards that are already in-
stalled or door frames, plunge cuts when adapting floor
panels
