Assembly
Battery Charging
 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium-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.
Removing the battery (see figure A)
The battery 3 is equipped with two locking levels that should pre-
vent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery un-
locking button 17 unintentionally. As long as the battery is insert-
ed in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring.
– To remove the battery 3, press the battery unlocking but-
ton 17 and pull the battery upward out of the power tool.
Do not exert any force.
Dust/Chip Extraction
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
Bosch Power Tools
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
External Dust Extraction (see figure B)
– Insert a vacuum hose 18 (accessory) into the vacuum con-
nection 4. Connect the vacuum hose 18 to a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for connecting to a vacuum
cleaner can be found at the end of these instructions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Mounting/Replacing the Saw Blade
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
 Only use saw blades that correspond with the charac-
teristic data given in the operating instructions.
 Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as
the cutting tool.
