Bosch GKS 10.8 V-LI 8.5 cm Black, Blue, Metallic 1400 RPM

The Bosch GKS 10.8 V-LI circular saw is a compact, battery-powered power saw designed for precise crosscuts and small rip cuts in wood and wood-based materials. Featuring an 85 mm blade diameter and a maximum no-load speed of 1,400 RPM, this lightweight saw combines portability with the cutting performance expected for light construction, renovation and DIY tasks. Powered by a 10.8 V Lithium-Ion battery and weighing approximately 1.4 kg, it is intended for users who need a manoeuvrable tool for quick, accurate cuts with low vibration.

Advantages

The compact design provides improved access in confined spaces and easier handling during prolonged use. A lightweight housing and balanced construction reduce operator fatigue. The 85 mm blade and cutting depth of 26.5 mm at 90° allow efficient cutting of thin panels, boards and trim. Low vibration emission (2.5 m/s²) enhances user comfort and control while maintaining steady cutting performance at up to 1,400 RPM.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and rip cuts in softwoods, plywood and chipboard
• On-site trims and fitting work in renovation projects
• Portable cutting tasks for furniture assembly and carpentry
• DIY projects requiring a compact, battery-operated saw

How to use

Secure the workpiece and check that the blade is suitable and correctly installed before operation. Insert a charged 10.8 V Lithium-Ion battery and set the saw on the material to mark the cutting line. Start the saw and allow it to reach full speed before beginning the cut, maintaining steady forward movement and stable hand placement to ensure an even cut. For repetitive or longer cuts, let the blade cool periodically and confirm battery charge level to maintain cutting performance. Follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines for personal protective equipment and safe handling.

Recommendations

Use the Bosch GKS 10.8 V-LI with appropriately rated blades for the material to be cut; avoid overloading the tool by making progressively deeper cuts in dense or hardwoods. Regularly inspect and replace worn blades, keep vents clear of debris, and store the battery separately when the tool is unused for extended periods.
