Cirkelzaag Bosch GKS 85

The Bosch GKS 85 circular saw is a high-torque, corded power saw designed for demanding cutting tasks in solid wood. It is equipped with a durable 2200 W motor that delivers strong torque and a maximum no-load speed of 5000 RPM. The saw accepts a blade with a diameter corresponding to its 85 mm cutting capability and provides up to 85 mm cutting depth at 90° for heavy-duty applications. The tool has a robust punched metal base plate and a closed pendulum guard made of die-cast aluminium to withstand tough jobsite conditions, and features an optimised chip deflector and turbo blower for a clear view of the score line.

Advantages

The 2200 W motor provides high torque for cutting through solid wood of varying moisture content up to the rated 85 mm depth. The die-cast aluminium pendulum guard and punched metal base plate increase impact resistance and durability. An optimised chip deflector together with a turbo blower improves visibility of the cut line and helps guide precise cuts. The corded 230 V design ensures continuous power for professional use.

Key specifications

How to use

Before use, fit a suitable saw blade rated for the saw's speed and intended material, and check that the blade guard and base plate are secure. Connect the saw to a 230 V power supply. Adjust cutting depth and set the fence or guide as required. Align the saw so the optimised chip deflector and turbo blower maintain a clear view of the score line, then power on and feed the saw steadily through the workpiece, keeping hands clear of the blade and following standard safety procedures. Allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting and wait for it to stop completely before setting the tool down.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye, hearing and respiratory protection) due to the high noise level and dust. Select blades suitable for the material and thickness you intend to cut. Ensure stable support for long workpieces and follow local electrical safety rules when operating a 230 V corded saw.
