Product Information

Full details

The Bosch GKS 18V-68 BITURBO Cordless Circular Saw is designed for professional woodworkers and tradespeople seeking corded power and flexibility without the cord. Its key benefit is delivering cutting performance equivalent to a 1,800 W corded saw, enabling faster cuts and superior runtime. A potential consideration is the optimal performance achieved with higher capacity ProCORE18V batteries (5.5 Ah or greater). This tool offers maximum cordless cutting performance with BITURBO Brushless technology, excellent ergonomics via a new auxiliary handle concept for optimal control, and a best-in-class cutting capacity up to 70 mm. It features faster cutting speeds than corded alternatives, outstanding runtime, and complete manoeuvrability.

How does the auxiliary handle improve usability?

How do I connect a dust extractor?

Troubleshooting

Saw does not power on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage. Try a different compatible battery.

Reduced cutting performance or speed

The saw blade may be dull or damaged; replace it. Ensure you are using a battery with sufficient charge and capacity (ProCORE18V = 5.5 Ah recommended). Check for any obstructions in the cutting path or around the blade guard.

Dust extraction is ineffective

Ensure the dust port is clear of debris. Check that the vacuum hose is securely attached and that the vacuum cleaner itself is functioning correctly and not full.

Blade does not stop quickly after trigger release

This indicates the fast brake system may need servicing. Contact Bosch Professional customer support if the issue persists after checking the battery and ensuring no obstructions.
