The values given for sawing particle board apply for a workpiece thick-
ness of 38 mm.
The vibration level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with anoth-
er. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.
Vibration Damper
The integrated vibration damper reduces occurring vibra-
tions.
The soft grip handle increases the safety against slipping off
and thus provides for a better grip and handling of the power
tool.
Assembly

Battery Charging

 Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Bosch Power Tools
Removing the battery (see figure A)
The battery 10 is equipped with two locking levels that should

unlocking button 16 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 10, press the battery unlocking button
16 and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear.
Do not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
11 indicate the charge condition of the battery 10. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 12 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 10 is removed.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Flashing light 1 x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 12, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up
one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
 When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
beginning of these instructions. Use only ½" universal shank
saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Swing the lever for saw blade release 4 approx. 60° in the di-
rection of the arrow and hold it in place. Slide the saw blade 1
into the saw blade holder 18. Release the lever for saw blade
release 4 again.
 Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be turned through
180° (with the teeth pointed upwards) and re-inserted again.
