FAQs

What batteries are compatible with the Bosch GST 18V-155 BC Professional Jigsaw?

This jigsaw is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers. It is also compatible with batteries from the AMPShare alliance.

Does this jigsaw come with a battery and charger?

No, this model is sold as a 'Bare Unit,' meaning it does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately.

How do I change the saw blade?

Pull the large saw blade ejection lever up. Insert the new blade into the holder until it clicks. The lever will automatically return to its original position. Ensure the blade is securely locked.

Can I use this jigsaw with guide rails?

Yes, the jigsaw is compatible with guide rails when used with an appropriate adapter, which is sold separately.

What is the advantage of the brushless motor?

The brushless motor provides greater efficiency, longer runtime, increased durability, and more power compared to brushed motors.

How does the blade guidance system improve precision?

The system stabilizes the saw blade, preventing it from bending even during tight curves, which leads to straighter and more precise cuts with less deviation.

What materials can this jigsaw cut?

It is ideal for curved and cross cuts in solid wood, chipboard, and wood composites, as well as thicker or harder materials.

Troubleshooting

Jigsaw will not start

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the tool's safety lock-off switch is engaged. If the issue persists, try a different battery.

Blade bending or wandering during cuts

Verify the correct blade type and size are being used for the material. Ensure the blade is inserted correctly and securely. Reduce cutting speed and apply less lateral pressure, allowing the blade guidance system to work effectively.

Poor cut quality or excessive splintering

Ensure the blade is sharp and suitable for the material. Use the anti-splinter guard. Adjust the speed setting for the material being cut. Ensure the base plate is flat on the workpiece.

Dust extraction not effective

Confirm the dust extraction nozzle and hood are correctly attached. Ensure the vacuum hose is securely connected and the vacuum cleaner is functioning properly. Clear any blockages in the nozzle or hose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent precision, especially on curves, due to blade guidance.
  • Stable and safe operation with the die-cast aluminium base plate.
  • Powerful and efficient performance from the brushless motor.
  • Good user control with the variable speed trigger and ergonomic design.
  • Compatibility with the Bosch Professional 18V system and AMPShare alliance.

Cons

  • Sold as a bare unit, requiring a separate battery and charger.
  • Heavier than some compact jigsaws due to its robust build.
  • May require an adapter for direct guide rail use (though compatible).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Battery Installation: Ensure a compatible Bosch Professional 18V battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the battery slot.
  2. Blade Insertion: Select the appropriate saw blade for your material. Insert the blade into the blade holder until it locks into place. Use the large ejection lever to release the blade.
  3. Dust Extraction: Attach the provided dust extraction nozzle and hood to the jigsaw if required. Connect a compatible vacuum cleaner hose.

Compatibility:

  • Batteries: Compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers.
  • AMPShare: Also compatible with the AMPShare multi-brand battery alliance.
  • Guide Rails: Can be used with guide rails via an adapter (sold separately).

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool, especially the base plate and blade holder, using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Remove any sawdust or debris.
  • Blade Storage: Store saw blades properly to prevent damage.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the base plate and blade holder for wear or damage. Ensure the brushless motor vents are clear of obstructions.
  • Storage: Store the jigsaw in a dry, protected environment, preferably in its original packaging or a suitable tool bag when not in use.
