The Bosch GCM18V-12GDCN is a top - notch 12 - inch miter saw that offers a professional cordless solution for the jobsite. It features the Axial - Glide™ System, which has an articulating arm. This design allows for wider cross - cuts, better alignment, and a smooth glide throughout the tool's lifespan. Unlike sliding - rail miter saws, it takes up less space as there are no slide arms behind the saw. With a large cutting capacity of 3.5 inches in depth and 13.5 inches in width/crosscut, it can handle various cutting tasks. The bevel controls are placed upfront for easy access, and the saw is compact and portable, compatible with a range of 12 - inch blades. This miter saw is part of the PROFACTOR™ System, pairing BITURBO Brushless™ Technology with a CORE18V® High Power Battery (sold separately). The BITURBO Brushless™ Technology is a high - performance motor and drive - train system that can deliver power comparable to high - demand corded tools. It also has an ECO mode that can extend the battery runtime by up to 20%. The saw offers connectivity (module sold separately) via the Bosch Toolbox App, enabling you to customize speed selection and individual mode settings. Integrated base extensions can extend material support up to 43 inches, and the 4 - 3/4 - inch tall fence design supports taller materials for accurate cuts. Other features include an accurate laser guide system, AMPShare™ System compatibility for multi - brand use, and it comes with a 12 - inch blade, a material clamp, a wrench, and a dust bag. Bosch 18V cordless power tools are covered by a five - year limited warranty and a 180 - day no - questions - asked return guarantee.
Using your Bosch GCM18V - 12GDCN miter saw is easy. First, make sure you've installed the blade properly using the included wrench. Connect your CORE18V® High Power Battery (sold separately) to the saw. Adjust the bevel angle using the upfront bevel controls for left or right bevel cuts. The laser guide system helps you precisely align the cut line with the blade. You can use the integrated base extensions to support longer materials. To save battery life, switch to ECO mode when you don't need full power. When using the connectivity feature (module sold separately), download the Bosch Toolbox App on your connected device and link it to the saw to customize settings. For safety, always keep your hands away from the blade. Don't operate the saw in wet conditions. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth to remove dust. Check the blade regularly for any signs of wear and replace it if necessary. Store the saw in a dry and cool place to maintain its performance.
