Switching the LED worklight on and off
To switch the worklight
(20)
on or off, press the worklight
button
(7)
until the required status is displayed on the work-
light indicator
(6)
.
u
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
you.
Preselect the stroke rate
You can preselect the stroke rate and change it during opera-
tion using the stroke rate preselection button
(9)
. Press the
button for changing the stroke rate preselection as many
times as needed for the required stroke rate level to be dis-
played in the indicator
(8)
. The last set stroke rate level is
saved when switching off the power tool.
Available stroke rate levels:
–
GST 18V‑155 SC
: Stroke rate level 1–6 and additionally
stroke rate level 6 with ASC (ASC indicator
(4)
will light
up)
–
GST 18V‑155 BC
: Stroke rate level 1–6; the stroke rate
can also be controlled via the on/off switch
(21)
up to the
maximum stroke rate for the set stroke rate level
You can change both the values for the preset stroke rate
levels and the number of levels in the
Bosch Toolbox
app.
The required stroke rate depends on the material and the
working conditions and can be ascertained through practical
tests.
A reduction in the stroke rate is recommended when sawing
plastic and metal.
Controlling the stroke rate via ASC (Adaptive Speed
Control) (GST 18V‑155 SC)
To start cutting as precisely as possible, ASC can be used to
automatically reduce the stroke rate before positioning the
saw blade on the workpiece. Once the saw blade touches the
workpiece, the stroke rate is automatically increased to the
set stroke rate level.
In the
factory setting
, stroke rate level 6 is available with or
without ASC. For operation with ASC, press the button for
stroke rate preselection
(9)
as many times as needed for the
ASC indicator
(4)
to light up and
A
to appear in the stroke
rate level indicator
(8)
.
You can also switch ASC on and off for other stroke rate
levels via the
Bosch Toolbox
app. If you change the settings,
only the ASC indicator
(4)
will light up when ASC is switched
on. The letter
A
will no longer appear in the stroke rate level
indicator
(8)
.
Working Advice
u
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage.
There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
u
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
becomes blocked.
u
Always use a sturdy support when working on small or
thin workpieces.
Before sawing into wood, chipboard, building materials,
etc., check for and remove any foreign objects such as nails,
screws, etc.
Jigsaws are primarily designed for curved cuts. The range of
products from
Bosch
also includes accessories which enable
straight cuts or circular cuts (depending on the jigsaw
model, e.g. parallel guide, guide rail or circle cutter).
Hand-held jigsaws generally tend to go off at an angle, i.e.
under certain circumstances the angle and cutting accuracy
can no longer be ensured. Decisive influencing factors on the
accuracy are the saw blade thickness, cutting length and the
material thickness and strength of the workpiece.
Therefore, always check using test cuts whether the cutting
result of the selected system meets the requirements of your
application.
Parallel guide (accessory) (see figure I)
When working with the parallel guide
(33)
, the workpiece
must be no more than 30 mm thick.
Loosen the locking screw
(32)
and slide the scale of the par-
allel guide through the guide
(31)
in the base plate. Adjust
the required cutting width as a scale value on the inside edge
of the base plate. Retighten the locking screw
(32)
.
Guide rail adapter (accessory) (see figure J)
The guide rail adapter
(35)
is needed:
– For straight cuts using a guide rail
(34)
(accessory)
– For circular cuts using a circle cutter
(36)
(accessory)
Make sure that the plastic guide plate
(14)
is mounted on
the base plate
(13)
. Insert the power tool into the guide rail
adapter
(35)
.
When using the guide rail adapter, observe the guide rail ad-
apter operating instructions.
