Assembly
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
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.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
Removing the battery
The battery 1 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 2 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 1, press the battery unlocking button 2
and pull the battery upward out of the power tool. Do not
exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication (see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
7 indicate the charge condition of the battery 1. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 6 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 1 is removed.
When no LED lights up after pushing button 6, then the
battery is defective and must be replaced.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool.
Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
Insert the charged battery 1 into the base of the power tool
until the battery is securely locked.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 3 forward so
that the “I” is indicated on the switch.
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 3 toward
the rear so that the “0” is indicated on the switch.
Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched on.
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to the surface of
the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting
direction. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life
of the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool
laterally and work with low feed rate only.
Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
max
depends on
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The machine allows for cutting of metal sheet to the following
thicknesses:
Adjusting Cutter Clearance a
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.
