condition when the machine is at a standstill.
– To indicate the charge condition, press and hold button 3
of the switched off machine.

Removing the battery
– To remove the battery 2, press the unlocking buttons 1 and
pull the battery out of the machine to the rear. Do not ex-
ert any force.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Use only original Bosch lithium ion batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Us-
ing other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire haz-
ard.
Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the machine can lead to
malfunctions of or cause damage to the power tool.
– Insert the charged battery 2 into the handle until it can be
felt to engage and faces flush against the handle.
Switching On and Off
– To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 5 forward so
that the "I" is indicated on the switch.
– To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 5 to-
ward the rear so that the "0" is indicated on the switch.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
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.
Note: If the machine should automatically switch off because
of a discharged or overheated battery, make sure to set the
machine's On/Off switch 5 to off. Charge the battery and al-
low it to cool down before restarting the machine. Otherwise
the battery can become damaged.
Working Advice
The power tool is not suitable for stationary operation.
For example, it may not be clamped in a vice or fastened on
a workbench.
Only work with the chip deflector 6 mounted. Take care
that the chip deflector is not damaged or bent. Danger
of injury when working without the chip deflector or when
it is damaged. Have a damaged chip deflector replaced im-
mediately by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power
tools.
Wear protective gloves while working. Take care that
cut sheet parts do not bend toward your body. Sharp

burrs develop at the cut steel sheet and can cause injuries
to the operator. If required, press bending steel sheet
parts away from your body using gloves.
– Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched
on.
Capacity
– Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to the surface
≥2/3
of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
≥1/3
<1/3
Reserve
– 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

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.
