Loosen the wing bolts 

(8)

 and 

(15)

. Swivel the saw to the

side. Set the required mitre angle on the scale 

(9)

. Retighten

the wing bolts 

(8)

 and 

(15)

.

Note:

 When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than

the value shown on the cutting depth scale 

(30)

.

Setting the mitre/bevel angle (GKS 18V-57)

We recommend that you place the power tool down on the

front side of the protective guard 

(17)

.

Loosen the wing bolt

The 0° cut mark 

(11)

 indicates the position of the saw blade

when making a right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark 

(10)

 indic-

ates the position of the saw blade when making a 45° cut.
For a precise cut, place the circular saw against the work-

piece as shown in the figure. We recommend making a test

cut.

GKS 18V-57 G:

When using the FSN guide rail system, the power tool can

stay in the holder for the guide rail when making mitre cuts.

(10)

Use only cut marks 

(10)

when making a right-angled

cut and a 45º cut with the

guide rail.

Start-up

Inserting the battery

u

Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the

voltage stated on the type plate of your power tool.

Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire

hazard.

Slide the charged battery 

(19)

 into the foot of the power tool

from the front. Press the battery fully into the foot until the

red stripe is no longer visible and the battery is securely

locked.

Switching on/off

To 

start

 the power tool, first press the lock-off switch 

(1)

,

then

 press and hold the on/off switch 

(18)

.

To 

switch off

 the power tool, release the on/off switch 

(18)

.

Note:

 For safety reasons, the on/off switch 

(18)

 cannot be

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Run-out brake

An integrated run-out brake shortens the time the saw blade

keeps running for after the power tool has been switched

off.

Protection Against Deep Discharging

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge

by the Electronic Cell Protection (ECP). When the battery is

discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a pro-

tective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.

Practical advice

The width of cut varies depending on the saw blade used.
Protect saw blades against shock and impact.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting

direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool

when moving it in the cutting direction significantly reduces

the service life of the application tools and can damage the

power tool.
The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essen-

tially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the

saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades

that are suitable for the material being machined.

Sawing wood

Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type,

wood quality and whether cuts with or against the grain are

required.
Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-

shaped chips.
Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health.

Therefore, work only with dust extraction.

Sawing with a parallel guide (see figure D)

The parallel guide 

(12)

 allows you to make precise cuts

along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same

dimensions.

Sawing with an auxiliary guide (see figure E)

For working on large workpieces or for cutting straight

edges, you can securely fasten a board or rail to the work-

piece as an auxiliary guide. The circular saw can be guided

along the path of this auxiliary guide with the base plate.

Sawing with the guide rail (see figure G)

You can use the guide rail 

(34)

 to produce straight cuts.

Note

: Only use the guide rail 

(34)

 for right-angled cuts. At-

tempting mitre/bevel cuts could damage the guide rail 

(34)

 .

The adhesive layer prevents the guide rail from slipping and

preserves the surface of the workpiece. The guide rail's coat-

ing allows the power tool to glide more easily.
Place the circular saw directly on the guide rail 

(34)

. Fasten

the guide rail 

(34)

 to the workpiece using suitable clamping

devices, e.g. screw clamps, so that the narrow side of the

guide rail 

(34)

 is facing the saw blade.
