To use the Bosch GKS 18V-57-2 GX, first ensure a compatible 18V Bosch battery is fully charged and securely attached to the tool. Mount the appropriate 16.5 cm blade, ensuring it is properly tightened and aligned. Adjust the bevel and cutting depth settings according to your material thickness. Place the saw base firmly on the workpiece or the guide rail, align the blade with your cut line, and engage the trigger to start the motor. Maintain steady pressure and a consistent feed rate throughout the cut.

What to consider before purchase

• Battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately
• Compatibility with existing 18V Bosch professional battery systems
