Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What size replacement blades does this circular saw require? The GKS 130 uses universally available 184 mm outer diameter circular saw blades with an internal bore hole diameter of 20 mm. Ensure that you select a blade rated for at least 6,400 rpm to guarantee safe on-site operation.

2. Is this specific model compatible with the Bosch FSN guide rail track system? No. The GKS 130 features a heavy-duty stamped steel base plate designed for handheld balance and free-cutting with the included parallel guide fence. It does not possess the structural alignment groove required to mate with the Bosch FSN guide rail tracks.

3. Can I connect an external workshop vacuum to this tool? Yes. The chip extraction port on the upper blade guard housing can be connected directly to an external dust extraction hose or an industrial wet/dry workshop vacuum adapter to keep the cut line clear of sawdust and maintain a clean working area.

4. How do I safely adjust the depth of the cut? To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the quick-clamping lever located near the rear of the safety guard housing. Slide the steel base plate up or down to align with your required cutting depth scale, and firmly re-tighten the clamping lever before starting your cut.
