Equipped with the new 18-V lithium-ion battery (slide-type)
Each of the Model CJ 18DSL and the Type BSL 1830 lithium-ion battery is equipped with the overdischarge
protection circuit, overcurrent protection circuit and voltage monitoring circuit for each cell to prevent
reduction of the battery life due to overdischarge (overuse) or overcurrent (overload). Besides, the overheat
protection circuit is provided to protect the battery from overheating.
Precautions for use of the Type BSL 1830 lithium-ion battery
The Type BSL 1830 lithium-ion battery is equipped with a protective function that automatically stops output
to extend the battery life. The motor may stop automatically in any of the following cases (a), (b) and (c)
even if the switch is depressed continuously during operation. This is because the protective function is
activated. The battery is not faulty.
(a) The motor is stopped by the overdischarge protection circuit when the remaining battery level is low and
the battery voltage is decreased to about 12 V. In such case, charge the battery immediately.
(b) The motor is stopped by the overcurrent protection circuit when the load current of the Model CJ 18DSL
is about 75 A or higher. In such case, turn off the switch and turn on again. Then the motor is started. Be
careful not to overload the Model CJ 18DSL.
(c) The motor is stopped by the overheat protection circuit when the temperature of the cell in the battery is
80
°
C or higher. In such case, remove the battery from the tool and cool it down completely in a well-
ventilated shaded area.
Tool-less blade changing system
The blade can be easily changed by opening/closing the lever. Usable blade is only the BOSCH's blade
whose thickness at the attaching portion is 1.5 mm or less or an equivalent blade having the same shape.
1) Open the lever fully. (Fig. )
2) Detach the blade from the blade holder.
3) Attach the new blade in the blade holder by pushing as far
as it will go. (Fig.
)
4) Close the lever. (Fig. )
LED Lighting system
The Model CJ 18DSL is equipped with the LED light for illuminating the blade. To turn on the light, pull the
trigger. Release the trigger to turn off.
Powerful dust blowing
The Model CJ 18DSL is equipped with a dust blower mechanism that blows off dust by the air from the
motor cooling fan.
4-stage orbital action
The Model CJ 18DSL is equipped with the orbital mechanism that allows the blade to move up and down
and forward and backward. This mechanism makes the blade dig well into wood and other soft materials
and also discharges cutting chips well to achieve speedy cutting. For details, refer to “Blade movement” on
page 7.
Soft grip handle
The handle of the Model CJ 18DSL is widely covered with soft-touch elastomer (rubber-like soft resin). It is
slip-resistant and securely fits in the palm of a hand even if the gripping hand sweats.
