Bosch GSC 12V-13 PROFESSIONAL Power shear 3600 spm

The Power shear Bosch GSC 12V-13 PROFESSIONAL is a compact cordless cutting tool designed for precision trimming and shaping of sheet materials. It delivers a maximum idle stroke rate of 3,600 spm and a cutting capacity of up to 1.3 mm in steel and 2 mm in aluminum. Supplied with two 2 Ah Lithium‑Ion batteries, the tool balances cutting performance with portability for work in confined spaces or on mobile jobsites.

Advantages

The tool combines a high stroke rate with a compact, lightweight housing for improved maneuverability and reduced operator fatigue. The cordless design eliminates cable drag and increases access to tight areas. Dual batteries included provide extended runtime and allow continuous work by swapping batteries. The engineered cutting head and motor deliver consistent cutting performance across thin to medium sheet materials.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming sheet steel up to 1.3 mm thickness
• Cutting and shaping aluminum sheets up to 2 mm thickness
• Sheet metal work in HVAC, roofing and duct installation
• On-site maintenance and repair tasks where portability is required

How to use

Before first use, fully charge both Lithium‑Ion batteries using the manufacturer’s charger. Install a charged battery into the tool until it locks in place. Mark the intended cutting line on the sheet material and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Position the shear so the cutting head aligns with the marked line and apply steady feed pressure; allow the tool’s stroke rate to perform the cut without excessive force. For continuous work, swap the depleted battery with the spare charged battery. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and batteries in a dry, dust‑free place.

Recommendations

For best results, use the Bosch GSC 12V-13 PROFESSIONAL on clean, flat sheet material and make progressive passes on thicker sections rather than forcing a single cut. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection, and follow local safety regulations when working with rotating or cutting tools.
