Product Information

Full details

This Bosch cordless circular saw is for professional woodworkers and contractors seeking corded power with cordless freedom. Its key benefit is delivering maximum cutting performance equal to a 1,800 W corded saw, with excellent ergonomics and simple depth adjustment. A potential caveat is the need for Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers for optimal performance. The GKS 18V-68 G Professional offers brushless technology for robust power, a comfortable auxiliary handle for precise control, and an intuitive depth adjustment system for ease of use, making it ideal for cutting wood and wood composites.

FAQs

What batteries are compatible with the GKS 18V-68 G Professional?

This saw is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and chargers. It also works with batteries from the AMPShare multi-brand battery alliance. For the highest performance, Bosch suggests using EXPERT 18V = 5.5Ah batteries.

Can I use this saw with guide rails from other brands?

Yes, the Bosch GKS 18V-68 G Professional is designed to fit on guide rails from Festool, Makita, and Mafell, in addition to Bosch guide rails.

How do I activate ECO Mode?

ECO Mode is typically activated through the User Interface (UI) panel on the saw. Refer to the tool's specific UI indicators for activation instructions.

What is the maximum cutting depth?

The maximum cutting depth will depend on the blade size used and the angle of the cut. Consult the product manual for specific depth specifications with the included blade.

Does this saw come with a battery and charger?

The product description indicates it includes the saw, an L-Boxx, parallel guide, and a saw blade. Batteries and chargers are typically sold separately for Bosch Professional 18V tools, unless specified as a kit.

How do I ensure optimal runtime?

Use a fully charged, high-capacity battery (like the EXPERT 18V = 5.5Ah). Engage ECO Mode when full power is not required, and ensure the blade is sharp and clean for efficient cutting.

Troubleshooting

Saw not starting

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the overload protection has been triggered; if so, allow the tool to cool down and reset. Verify the spindle lock is disengaged.

Reduced cutting power or speed

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the blade is sharp and clean. Clean any dust or debris from the motor vents. If using ECO Mode, switch to standard mode for maximum power.

Blade binding during cut

Ensure the correct depth of cut is set for the material. Do not force the saw; let the blade do the work. Check that the material is properly supported and not flexing.

Dust extraction not effective

Ensure the dust port is clear of debris. Check that your dust extraction system is properly connected and functioning. Use the 360° rotatable port to optimize connection angle.
