Switching On and Off

To 

start

 the machine, 

first

 push the lock-off button for the 

On/Off switch 

3

 and 

then

 press the On/Off switch 

4

 and keep 

it pressed.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

4

.

Note: 

For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 

4

 cannot be 

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Run-on Brake

An integrated run-on brake reduces the run-on period of the 
saw blade after switching off the machine.

Temperature Control/Overload Protection Indicator

The red LED indicator 

16

 will help you in protecting the bat-

tery against overheating and the motor against overloading.

When the LED indicator 

16

continuously lights up red

, the 

temperature of the battery is too high and the machine 
switches off automatically.
– Switch the power tool off.
– Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.

The LED indicator 

16

flashes red

, the power tool is blocked 

and switches off automatically.

Remove the power tool from the workpiece.

The power tool will continue to work as soon as the blockage 
is rectified.

Protection Against Deep Discharging

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.

Switching on the LED Work Area Illumination

The power light 

26

 lights up when the On/Off switch 

4

 is 

slightly or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be 
illuminated when lighting conditions are insufficient.

Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.

Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of 
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.

Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially 
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material 
to be worked.

Sawing Wood

The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type 
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway 
cuts are required.

When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are 
formed.

Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health. 
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.

Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)

The parallel guide 

32

 enables exact cuts along a workpiece 

edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.

Set the desired cutting width at the outer edge of the base 
plate using the scale on the guides of the parallel guide/guide 
rail adapter (see figure D).

Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure F)

For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or 
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide; 
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the 
auxiliary guide.

Sawing with Guide Rail (see figure E)

The guide rail 

34

 is used to carry out straight cuts.

Note: 

Use the guide rail 

34

 only for right-angled cuts. When 

using for mitre cuts, the guide rail 

34

 can become damaged.

The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from slipping and 
protects the surface of the workpiece. The coating of the 
guide rail allows the circular saw to glide easily.

Fasten the guide rail 

34

 to the workpiece using suitable 

clamping devices, e.g. screw clamps. Put the power tool with 
mounted guide rail adapter on the guide rail.

Note: 

Mount the parallel guide/guide rail adapter 

32

 on the 

power tool with the Bosch logo facing down.

The guide rail 34 must not extend beyond the face side of 
the workpiece where the cut is to be started.

Switch the machine on and guide it in the cutting direction ap-
plying moderate and steady feed.

Working with parallel guide/guide rail adapter and 
vacuum hose

First mount the extraction adapter 

29

 with vacuum hose 

30

and then the parallel guide/guide adapter 

32

.

Note: 

Use only the intended screws to fix the parallel 

guide/guide adapter 

32

 and the extraction adapter 

29

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between 
– 20 ° C and 50 ° C. As an example, do not leave the battery in 
the car in summer.

Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, 
clean and dry brush.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning



Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport 
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. 

There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating 
the On/Off switch.



For safe and proper working, always keep the machine 
and ventilation slots clean.
