FAQs
What type of saw blades can I use with this jigsaw?
This jigsaw is compatible with T-shank saw blades. The tool-free SDS system allows for quick and easy blade changes.
Do I need to buy batteries and a charger separately?
Yes, the Bosch GST 18V-125 B Professional is sold as a body-only tool. Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers are sold separately.
Can this jigsaw make straight cuts?
While primarily designed for curved cuts, precise straight cuts can be achieved. For maximum accuracy, it is recommended to use a guide rail adapter (sold separately).
What is the purpose of the 4-stage orbital action?
The 4-stage orbital action allows you to control the aggressiveness of the cut. Higher settings provide faster cutting through thicker materials, while lower settings offer cleaner cuts for finer work.
How do I protect delicate surfaces from scratches?
The jigsaw comes with a removable plastic overshoe that can be attached to the baseplate to protect sensitive workpieces from damage.
Is this jigsaw suitable for metal cutting?
This model is primarily designed for wood, chipboard, and wood composites. For metal cutting, a jigsaw with appropriate metal-cutting blades and potentially different specifications would be recommended.
What is the warranty period for this tool?
Bosch Professional tools typically come with a standard warranty. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your purchase or on the official Bosch website for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Jigsaw will not start
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged.
Blade is binding or cutting poorly
Verify the correct blade is installed for the material. Ensure the blade is sharp and not bent. Check that the orbital action is set appropriately for the task or turned off for fine cuts.
Excessive vibration during operation
Ensure the blade is securely locked in the SDS system. Check for any damage to the blade or blade holder. Reduce cutting speed if necessary.
Dust collection is ineffective
Ensure the dust extraction port is clear of debris. Check that the connected dust hose and vacuum are functioning correctly and not clogged.
Baseplate does not adjust for bevel cuts
Check for debris obstructing the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the locking screws for the baseplate are loosened before attempting adjustment.
