Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Use only original Bosch lithium ion batter-
ies with the voltage listed on the nameplate
of your power tool. Using other batteries can
lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
To protect the machine against unintentional
starting, set the stroke speed selector switch 7
to the centre position. Insert the charged bat-
tery 10 from the front into the handle of the
power tool. Push the battery completely into the
handle until the red stripe can no longer be seen
and the battery is securely locked.
Changing the Stroke Speed Setting
The stroke speed setting of the power tool can
be changed with the stroke speed selector
switch 7. However, this is not possible when the
On/Off switch 8 is pressed.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – central posi-
tion:
The safety lock is activated.
The On/Off switch 8 is blocked
and the machine is secured
against being switched on unin-
tentionally.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – left:
1. Gear, low stroke speed.
The low stroke speed is suitable
for sawing hard materials such
as steel, non-ferrous metal, hard
plastics or for precision cuts in
wood and plunge cutting.
The low stroke speed enables
sawing with less vibrations.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – right:
2. Gear, high stroke speed.
The high stroke speed is suitable
for sawing soft materials.
The high stroke speed enables
quicker operational progress,
e. g., for coarse cuts in wood.
Bosch Power Tools
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 8
and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 8.
Controling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the
On/Off switch 8 enables stepless stroke-rate
control of the switched-on machine.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the
material and the working conditions and can be
determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when
the saw blade engages in the material as well as
when sawing plastic and aluminium.
Temperature Control Indicator
The red LED of the temperature control indica-
tor 11 signals that the battery or the electronics
of the power tool (when the battery is inserted)
are not within the optimum temperature range.
In this case, the power tool will not operate at
full capacity.
Temperature control of the battery:
– The red LED 11 lights up continuously after
inserting the battery into the charger: The
battery is not within the charging tempera-
ture range between 0 °C and 45 °C and can-
not be charged.
– The red LED 11 flashes when pushing button
13 or pressing the On/Off switch 8 (when the
battery is inserted): The battery is not wihin
the temperature range for operation of
–10 °C to +60 °C.
– For battery temperatures over 70 °C, the
power tool switches off until the battery is in
the optimal temperature range again.
