Syneon Chip for optimum power and endurance
The Syneon Chip from Bosch regulates power from the battery based on the load on the tool. It gets every last drop of power out of the lithium-ion battery, extending the runtime of the battery as well as extending the lifetime of the battery.
The right sawing speed for all materials
The PST 10.8 LI has integrated Bosch Electronic technology that allows precise stroke rate control using the trigger switch. This feature gives the saw soft-start, so the work piece is not damaged when starting the saw. The harder you pull the trigger the faster the saw will cut, giving you a maximum stroke rate of 2,200spm.
Multiple applications

It fits an array of saw blades for a number of applications, making it a truly universal tool. You will find what you need in Bosch's comprehensive range of saw blades.
Fast and effortless saw blade changes
Thanks to its integrated Bosch SDS system, changing saw blades with the PST 10.8 LI Jigsaw is quick and easy. Blade changes can be made with just a simple push of a button.
Maximum power and endurance thanks to Bosch Lithium-Ion
Bosch Lithium-Ion powered tools are always ready to use due to no memory effect and no self-discharge. This means that the tool can be charged at any time, regardless of whether the battery is flat or not. Even after a period of four months on standby, a fully charged Lithium-Ion battery is still charged to approximately 85 per cent. This means that power is available to you for six times longer than that of conventional NiCd batteries. To ensure a long lifetime Bosch has equipped all Lithium-Ion batteries with Electronic Cell Protection (ECP), preventing overheating and overload.
Robust open base plate
The robust, open base plate enables sawing close to the edge and offers good view of the saw blade at all times. When the blade is removed, the saw can be stored upright.
