FAQ
- Is a battery included with this tool? No, the Bosch GOP StarlockMax EXOP18V-40 is sold as a bare tool. You need to purchase a compatible Bosch Professional 18V battery and charger separately.
- Can I use standard Starlock blades or only StarlockMax accessories? The tool accepts all three Starlock interface types — Starlock, StarlockPlus, and StarlockMax — giving you access to the complete range of Bosch oscillating accessories.
- How do I change the blade without tools? The Easy Snap-In system allows you to pull the release lever, remove the current accessory, and snap in a new one. No hex key, bolt, or retention pin is required.
- What materials can this multi-cutter work with? It handles wood, softwood, hardwood, metal, plastic, drywall, grout, tile adhesive, and more, depending on the accessory fitted. Choosing the correct blade or pad for the material is essential.
- Does the vibration control feature reduce fatigue during prolonged use? Yes, the integrated Vibration Control system dampens oscillation feedback transmitted to the user's hand, and the narrow 150 mm grip circumference further reduces strain during extended working sessions.
