The Bosch GOP18V - 28N 18V StarlockPlus® Oscillating Multi - Tool (Bare Tool) is a game - changer. It features the Starlock® 3 - D tool - accessory interface, a next - gen design that offers excellent accessory grip. This cupped 3 - D connection provides more contact area between the tool and accessory, enabling greater torque transfer and expanding the work capacity. The no - touch blade - change system makes blade attachment, removal, and repositioning a breeze. The EC Brushless 18V motor is a powerhouse, delivering up to 30% more power and better efficiency than older 18V motors. It offers a top speed of 20,000 oscillations per minute and a 2.8° oscillating arc. A variable - speed dial lets you set the perfect speed for your task, and Constant Response circuitry keeps the speed steady under load. Weighing just 2.7 Lbs., it's light, compact, and easy to handle in tight spaces. It also has an LED light for dark work areas. This multi - tool is super versatile, using Starlock® and StarlockPlus® accessories for tasks like flush - cutting, plunge - cutting, sanding, and grinding. The kit includes one GOP18V - 28 18V StarlockPlus® Oscillating Multi - Tool, a 1 - 1/4 In. Plunge Blade, and an accessory box. The battery and charger are sold separately.
Using the Bosch GOP18V - 28N is straightforward. First, make sure you have a compatible battery (sold separately) and insert it into the tool. Then, choose the right Starlock® or StarlockPlus® accessory for your task, like a blade for cutting or a sanding pad for sanding. Use the no - touch blade - change system to attach the accessory easily. Adjust the speed using the variable - speed dial according to what you're working on. When using the tool, keep it steady and let the tool do the work. In dark areas, turn on the LED light. Some things to note: Don't overload the tool. The Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) is there to protect the motor, but it's still best to use it within its limits. Also, since the battery has Electronic Cell Protection (ECP), avoid overcharging, overheating, or deep - discharging it. For maintenance, after each use, clean the tool and accessories. Wipe off any dust or debris. Check the blades and other accessories regularly for wear and tear. If they're damaged, replace them. Store the tool in a dry place when not in use.
