Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 95 dB(A); Sound power level
106 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3.0 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values a (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with
another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-
sure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-
riod.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns.

Assembly
Battery Charging
 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied 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.
Bosch Power Tools
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 bat-
2
.
tery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery
The battery 3 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 24 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 3, press the battery unlocking button
24 and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear.
Do not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication (see figure F)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
32 indicate the charge condition of the battery 3. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 31 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 3 is removed.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Flashing light 1 x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 31, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
Mounting/Replacing the Saw Blade
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
 Only use saw blades that correspond with the charac-
teristic data given in the operating instructions.
 Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as
the cutting tool.
