The Bosch GKM 18V-50 Professional Metal Circular Saw is designed for tradespeople needing to quickly and precisely cut metal materials like cable trays and threaded rods. Its key benefit is nearly spark-free working, enhanced by an integrated chip collection system and an LED light for accurate, shadow-free cuts. A caveat is that this is a bare unit, requiring separate purchase of an 18V battery and charger. Key features include its robust chip collection, cutting line indicator, viewing window, ergonomic grip, and compatibility with the Bosch Professional 18V system.

This model is a 'Bare Unit' and includes the metal circular saw itself and a 'Standard for Steel' saw blade. Batteries and a charger are sold separately.
For optimal performance and battery runtime, use the specifically designed Bosch 'Standard for Steel' saw blade (136 x 20mm bore).
The chip collection box has an easy-to-open door. Open the door and empty the collected metal chips. Ensure it is securely closed before resuming operation.
The GKM 18V-50 Professional is part of the Bosch Professional 18V System and is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V batteries. It also supports AMPShare batteries.
The maximum cutting depth at 90 degrees is 50mm.
While optimized for steel, the saw can be used for other non-ferrous metals. However, performance and chip collection may vary. Always consult the manual for specific material guidelines.
The saw weighs approximately 2.2kg, not including the battery.
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Check if the battery release is fully engaged.
The blade may be dull or dirty. Clean or replace the 'Standard for Steel' saw blade. Ensure the chip collection box is not overfilled.
Check if the chip collection box is properly seated and not blocked. Ensure you are using the correct 'Standard for Steel' blade.
Do not force the saw. Ensure the material is properly supported and you are cutting straight. Release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop before clearing any obstructions.
