⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Close grip and compact geometry enable accurate, controlled cuts even in awkward positions
- • Best for: Tradespeople and DIYers working in confined spaces or making overhead and undercut passes
- • Not ideal for: Continuous heavy industrial cutting where larger, higher-voltage saws are required
Barrel grip places the hand close to the cutting line for precise handling. Tool-free Bosch SDS blade changes speed up workflow on-site.
Exceptional manoeuvrability – thanks to barrel grip and compact, lightweight design
Barrel grip positions the handle close to the blade allowing finer control and balanced handling during awkward cuts. Compact chassis reduces bulk when cutting from underneath or in tight corners.
Better control leads to more accurate curved and plunge cuts in confined workspaces. Reduced fatigue during extended overhead or awkward-angle tasks improves productivity.
Fast blade changes – with the tool-free Bosch SDS-system
Bosch SDS-system uses a simple locking mechanism that releases and secures blades without additional tools. The system ensures consistent alignment and quick swaps between blade types.
Quicker blade swaps minimise downtime when switching from fine to coarse cuts. Fewer interruptions help maintain momentum on site and during complex jobs.
Site-ready power and compatibility – thanks to the Professional 12V System and included accessories
Professional 12V System supports all rechargeable batteries within the same voltage class and includes two GBA 2.0Ah batteries and a GAL 12V-40 charger. A Dust Extraction Set and Glide Shoe are supplied for cleaner, smoother cutting.
Interchangeable 12V batteries let users share power across tools and keep spares on hand. Included charger, dust extraction and inlay in an L-BOXX make transport and on-site use straightforward.
