Bosch GKS 12V-26 Cordless Circular Saw 2 x 2Ah Battery

The saw delivers a cutting depth of up to 26 mm. It is suitable for cutting wood and plywood, making it a versatile option for trim work, cabinetry, and small construction tasks in tight spaces.

The tool weighs about 1.4 kg, which makes it lightweight and easier to maneuver in confined areas. The reduced weight helps minimize user fatigue during extended cutting sessions.

Yes. It’s part of the Bosch 12V system, so the batteries and, in many cases, the charger can be used with a range of compatible Bosch 12V tools for added flexibility and convenience.

The saw features an integrated dust extraction capability that helps direct sawdust away from the cutting line. For best results, connect the dust port to a compatible extraction hose or vacuum to keep the work area clean and improve visibility while cutting.

The kit includes two 2.0Ah batteries designed for the Bosch 12V system, with quick charging behavior to minimize downtime. This setup supports extended work sessions and reduces the need for constant interruptions to swap packs.

To change the blade, power off the tool and remove the battery first. Retract the blade guard, loosen the arbor nut with the appropriate Allen/hex wrench, swap in a Bosch‑approved 12V circular saw blade, then re‑tighten and reassemble. Use blades designed for 12V circular saws to ensure proper fit and safe operation.

Key safety features include a guarded blade that retracts during cutting, a secure grip for stable handling, and dust extraction to improve visibility. Always wear PPE (eye/ear protection and a dust mask as needed) and follow standard tool safety practices.

It's ideal for DIY projects, cabinetry, furniture making, and trim work in tight or overhead spaces where a corded saw would be cumbersome. The lightweight design helps with precision cuts in small areas and on the job site.

Store and operate the batteries within the recommended temperature range, avoid letting packs fully discharge before recharging, and use the included two‑battery setup to alternate cycles so you’re always cutting with a fresh battery while the other charges.

Compared with the Bosch GKS 12V-18, the GKS 12V-26 typically offers a deeper cut (up to 26 mm vs a shallower depth), enabling thicker materials to be cut in fewer passes. Both share the same compact, lightweight design and 12V system compatibility, but the GKS 12V-26 provides more cut capacity and potentially longer runtime with the two‑battery setup.
