The Bosch GCM18V - 12GDCN14 12 - inch miter saw is a game - changer for jobsites. It comes with the Axial - Glide™ System and BITURBO Brushless Technology, offering a professional cordless option. The Axial - Glide™ System features an articulating arm, enabling wider cross - cuts, better alignment, and a smooth glide. It takes up less space compared to sliding - rail miter saws and has a large cutting capacity with 4.7 inches of depth and 15.7 inches of width/crosscut. The upfront bevel controls are easy to access. This compact saw is portable and compatible with various 12 - inch blades. As part of the PROFACTOR System, it pairs BITURBO Brushless Technology with a CORE18V PROFACTOR battery. The high - performance BITURBO motor and drive - train system deliver power comparable to high - demand corded tools. The included CORE18V PROFACTOR Performance Battery provides sufficient wattage to fully utilize the BITURBO technology. The saw has an ECO mode that can extend the battery runtime by up to 20%. It also offers connectivity (module sold separately) through the Bosch Toolbox App for customizing speed and mode settings. The integrated base extensions can support materials up to 43 inches, and the 4 - 3/4 - inch tall fence design supports taller materials for accurate cuts. The kit includes a saw, an 18V battery, a charger, a 12 - inch blade, a material clamp, a wrench, and a dust bag. It also has features like high - power cells, Bosch - exclusive CoolPack 2.0 technology, an accurate laser guide system, and convenient portability (weighing only 59.3 lbs without the battery).
Using the Bosch GCM18V - 12GDCN14 miter saw is quite straightforward. First, charge the CORE18V PROFACTOR battery using the included charger. Once charged, insert it into the saw. Before making a cut, adjust the miter and bevel angles according to your needs. The upfront bevel controls make it easy to do this. You can use the laser guide system to precisely align the cut line with the blade. When cutting, make sure the material is properly supported by the integrated base extensions and the tall fence. You can use the material clamp to secure the material in place. To save battery life, you can switch to ECO mode. When it comes to maintenance, keep the saw clean by using the dust bag to collect debris. After each use, wipe down the saw with a clean cloth. Check the blade regularly for any signs of wear and replace it if necessary. Also, make sure to store the saw in a dry place. If you want to customize the settings, you can connect the saw to your device via the Bosch Toolbox App (module sold separately). Just follow the instructions in the app to set the speed and mode that suit your project.
