Sabelzaag Bosch GSA 185-LI Brushless 2900 spm zwart

The Bosch GSA 185-LI Brushless is a cordless reciprocating saw that delivers cutting performance comparable to a 1,100 W corded tool thanks to Bosch Brushless technology. With a high power-to-weight ratio and a compact design, the tool is easier to handle in different working positions and is compatible with the Bosch Professional 18V System. It features a toolless snap-in blade change for one-handed insertion and ejection and is suitable for cutting metal, wood, plastic and insulation materials. The saw has a maximum no-load stroke rate of 2,900 spm and a stroke length of 28 mm, and it can cut up to 230 mm in wood.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides higher efficiency and longer lifetime compared with brushed motors, while the favourable power-to-weight ratio reduces user fatigue during extended use. Toolless blade change allows quick, one-handed replacement of blades. Variable speed control via the trigger and an ergonomic handle with a curved upper section support precise control and multiple grip positions. An attachable rafter hook enables balanced hanging of the tool on site.

• Demolition and renovation cuts in metal

How to use

Fit a suitable reciprocating saw blade using the toolless snap-in system and ensure the blade is securely engaged. Choose an appropriate Bosch 18V battery (sold separately) and insert it into the tool. Use the trigger to set the required speed, applying variable pressure according to the material. For close-to-wall or inverted cuts, position the saw so the shoe provides stable support and use the curved handle for comfortable grip. After use, remove the battery before changing blades or performing maintenance.

Recommendations

Use blades designed for the target material (metal, wood, plastic) and inspect blades for wear before use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. For prolonged work, select batteries with sufficient capacity and allow the tool to cool down under heavy loads.
