Jigsaw Bosch Keo power, cordless 18 V, 2300 spm, 80 mm wood cut, 1.4 kg, barrel grip

The Bosch Keo power cordless jigsaw is an 18 V handheld saw designed for on-site cutting of wood and panel materials. It features a barrel-grip housing and a slim 63 mm body for one-handed control, an idle stroke rate up to 2,300 spm and a maximum wood cutting depth of 80 mm. Weighing 1.4 kg, the tool combines a fast charge time of about 1 hour with a compact form factor suitable for trimming, detail cutting and general workshop or construction tasks.

Advantages

The barrel-grip layout and narrow 63 mm width improve tool balance and allow comfortable single-handed operation in confined spaces. A high idle stroke rate of 2,300 spm delivers efficient cutting speed while the 80 mm maximum wood depth makes the jigsaw suitable for typical timber and panel work. The low weight of 1.4 kg reduces user fatigue during extended use, and a short battery charge cycle of around one hour minimises downtime. Measured vibration in wood is 20 m/s², providing a predictable handling profile for precision cuts.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and rip cuts in soft and construction timber up to 80 mm
• Trimming and shaping of plywood, MDF and other panel materials
• On-site repair and installation work where portability is required
• Detail cutting and plunge cuts in confined or vertical positions using one hand

How to use

Before use, ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Select a suitable jigsaw blade for the material and secure it according to the tool’s blade-change system. Mark the cutting line, position the barrel-grip tool with the soleplate parallel to the workpiece, and start the saw at low speed to establish the cut, then increase to the required stroke rate. Maintain steady, even feed pressure and allow the saw to perform the cutting without forcing. For plunge cuts, start with a low-speed setting and keep the baseplate flat until the blade has entered the material.

Usage recommendations

Use blades matched to the material and desired finish (fine-tooth blades for clean edges, coarse-tooth blades for fast material removal). Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely, and follow battery-handling and charging instructions. For prolonged tasks, rotate battery packs or allow the tool to cool periodically to maintain consistent performance.
