The Bosch GKS 12V-26 Professional is a compact, battery-powered circular saw designed for short cuts in wood. Featuring an 85 mm blade diameter and a maximum idle speed of 1,400 rpm, the tool delivers a maximum cutting depth of 26.5 mm at 90°.

Advantages

Very low weight and compact size provide improved handling and reduced wall projection, making the saw convenient for tight spaces and overhead work. The motor and blade combination are optimized for short, fast cuts in wood, offering a favorable power-to-weight and power-to-size ratio. The 12 V cordless design ensures portability without the need for a corded power source.

How to use

Install a blade suitable for wood using the supplied hex and socket wrenches, ensuring the saw is switched off and the battery removed before adjustments. Fit the battery, set the saw on the workpiece, and hold the tool with one hand while supporting the material as needed. Start the motor and feed the saw steadily along the cut line, keeping the base plate flat on the work surface. For repeated cuts, allow the blade to reach full speed before engaging the material and avoid lateral pressure on the blade.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, gloves). Select blades rated for the intended wood type and thickness. For longer cutting tasks or deeper cuts, consider a larger-capacity circular saw designed for greater cutting depth and continuous operation.
