Bosch KEO - Battery-powered Reciprocating Saw - 18V 2Ah

The Bosch KEO battery-powered pruning saw is designed for quickly cutting branches and small shrubs in the home garden. Its compact design and low weight of 1.4 kg make it practical and easy to handle, even during prolonged use.

The special head with A-Grip guide allows you to lock the branch in place while cutting. This system holds unstable branches in place and allows you to work with just one hand, maintaining a good level of control and precision.

The removable A-Grip support makes it easy to cut branches up to 60 mm in diameter when used as a support guide. Without the support, the pruning saw is suitable for cutting branches up to 80 mm, thanks to the Bosch precision cutting blade manufactured in Switzerland, designed to achieve clean and smooth cuts.

The Bosch KEO pruning saw is battery-powered, with an 18 V battery that allows you to make up to 115 cuts on a single charge. The Syneon Chip system regulates the energy supply between the battery, motor and electronics, optimising efficiency during operation.

The progressive start-up of the cut allows for a controlled start of the cutting blade, increasing comfort and precision during cutting operations.

Other design features include:

• Interchangeable blade: allows the same tool to be used for different household and gardening tasks;
• Tool-free blade replacement: the quick-release system allows for easy blade replacement;
• Quick-locking mechanism: designed for fast and safe replacement;
• Safety switch: reduces the risk of accidental start-up;
• Blade length 150 mm: suitable for cutting branches and small shrubs.

The Bosch KEO is therefore a compact battery-powered electric pruning saw, designed for light pruning and domestic garden maintenance, with a practical and controlled cutting system.

A LITHIUM BATTERY AND ITS BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE

Battery with quick release: it can be detached and removed from the machine with a simple gesture, just press the quick release button.

Voltage: 18V
Amperage: 2 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, without memory effect (it does not tend to run out after many recharges) to always have excellent power.

Comes with a practical battery charger (connects to the mains like a mobile phone charger).

The battery is attached to the battery charger via a quick-release connector, in the same way as it is attached to the saw.

Additional batteries can also be purchased for a much longer working life.

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times longer than traditional nickel-cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium to large gardens.

FULL POWER FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE BATTERY: the charge of lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, whose power gradually decreases, lithium battery cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. You get virtually the same power from start to finish, without a reduction in motor speed. The battery operates at full power until it is completely depleted.

LONG CHARGE LIFE: lithium batteries offer 3–4 times more recharge cycles than traditional nickel-cadmium batteries, while also allowing longer storage times with less charge loss. With lithium batteries, you can get up to 2,000 charge cycles.

LOWER WEIGHT: Lithium batteries offer the best power-to-weight ratio. On average, they weigh 1/3 of nickel-cadmium batteries.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without any negative memory effect, offering maximum power even after hundreds of charging cycles.
A few minutes of charging are enough to provide the power needed to complete the job.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: Low charge loss rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries), so your tool will be ready for use even after months of inactivity.

BATTERY CHARGER: Lithium battery chargers reduce energy consumption by an average of 35%.

The POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE 18v is a partnership of power tool manufacturers who have decided to adopt a common standard for 18 Volt batteries, allowing for battery interchangeability between the different brands participating in the alliance.

Several major brands have chosen to adopt this initiative, and these products are recognisable by the P4A label.

The more P4A battery-powered products you buy, the more you save. You can expand your cordless system without paying for unnecessary batteries and battery chargers.

The use of the same 18-volt battery configuration across the different brands participating in the alliance allows consumers to use batteries from one brand with battery-powered tools from another participating brand.

The advantages of this alliance include battery interchangeability between different brands, which means that consumers can choose the best power tools from various brands using the same batteries.

In addition, higher-capacity batteries of one brand can also be used in the power tools of another participating brand, increasing the life and performance of the tools.

This approach also helps reduce costs, as users are not limited to buying batteries from a single brand and can take advantage of offers across the alliance.

Using a single battery platform across multiple tools reduces the need to purchase and manage several spare batteries, making the system more convenient and efficient for everyday use.

Advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a combustion engine, thanks to its electric motor. It has no spark plugs, filters, fuel pumps, carburettors, etc., i.e. components that are prone to problems.
• Much lighter than combustion engines
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to combustion models (cutting can be carried out with minimal electricity costs). Moreover, there is no need to constantly procure fuel (which should always be fresh).
• Reduced vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. On the other hand, almost all combustion engine systems, which are not equipped with anti-vibration systems on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibration, making the work extremely uncomfortable.
• No exhaust emissions, making it more environmentally friendly and safer for the operator.
• Much quieter operation, it is more pleasant to use than combustion engines.
