Precise control for detailed cuts – with barrel grip and close-to-line handle
Barrel grip, compactness and lightweight construction place the hand very near the cutting line, improving curve tolerance and handling for cuts made from underneath. The close grip position reduces lever action and increases steering accuracy.
Better accuracy when sawing curves or working overhead, making it simpler to follow marked lines and reduce rework.
Quick blade swaps – with the tool-free Bosch SDS-system
Bosch SDS-system enables tool-free replacement of saw blades, allowing fast changes between blade types without additional tools. Secure locking keeps blades stable during aggressive cuts.
Blade changes are rapid on site, so different materials and profiles can be tackled without losing time.
Portable 12V power with solid runtime – thanks to the Professional 12V System and 2.0 Ah optimisation
All rechargeable batteries in the Bosch Professional 12V class are compatible, and sawing performance is optimised for 2.0 Ah batteries to balance fast sawing progress with longer runtime. Batteries and charger are sold separately.
Easy integration into an existing 12V kit and sufficient runtime for extended tasks, reducing the need for frequent recharge pauses.
