Bosch Keo Li-Ion Cordless Pruning Saw Questions & Answers

Bunnings should have them. I would take one along to show the staff member at Bunnings so you get the right ones (though think they may be a generic one).

Thank You was unable to get from bunnings but went to Mitre 10 and got 1 from them

Not that I'm aware of.

Same problem for me with 2 Keo... Suddenly, the saw stopped charging. The light no longer lights up. I changed the charger, still the same problem. I think it comes from electronics. I disassembled the device, everything is soldered. I checked the welds which seem to be in good condition. Impossible to fix anything. However, the batteries seemed to be in good condition. Several hours of use before this failure. No solution for now.

I have been using mine pretty constantly for about 8 years and have not yet had to replace the battery. I keep mine on charge when not in use. I don't know if it can be replaced. I am 75 with pretty bad arthritis and it allows me to manage garden chores that I would not otherwise be able to.

Lithium battery. My charger broke so gave my Keo to my neighbour who has same model. I'm not aware of replacement battery as is built in. Wasn't able to get replacement charger either. I did like the product and it lasted longer per charge, handled better than the Ryobi one we got.

Try EBay. Saw one for sale today. $59

I couldn't locate one either which is pity as I really liked the Leo! Gave mine to neighbour as I talked them into getting one!

Mine is the same, did you find a solution?

Mine has done the same thing. The charger has checked out fine and I can bypass the control board an recharge the batteries so think it is the control board issue. I've looked everywhere but can't find any mention of this.

I threw mine in the bin and bought a Ryobi…..

Hi Ray, The Keo 10.8V saw comes with an integrated battery. If you’re finding the tool isn’t powered, it’s worth checking the end of the charger that plugs into the tool and making sure the pins are aligned. If they are bent it’s possible the charger has been damaged. Otherwise, what happens when you plug in the charger? It’s charging when the light flashes green (more info on charging in the included manual).

If the charger seems fine, other factors that might weigh in are the age of the tool and how frequently it’s been used. It’s hard to say for sure what the issue is without being able to assess it.

If the tool was bought recently you can take it back to the place of purchase with your receipt, or if you’d prefer, you can take your tool and charger in for assessment at one of our Authorised Service Dealers. They will be able to test and find out what the issue is and offer the next steps. To locate an Authorised Service Dealer, please call 1300 307 044 or visit the link below with a list of our Authorised Service Dealers in Australia: external link 

Let us know how you go or if you have any other questions. Cheers

Thanks for getting back Hayley my saw is about 8 years old and when I’m trying to charge it nothing flashes on at all and when I press the saw to go on a red light comes on and dies.It isn’t holding its charge at all even after 3 hours of charging time

Hi Ray, It's impossible to say for sure what the issue is without being able to assess the tool, however if your tool is 8 years old then its possible the tool or charger is used/had general wear and tear.

If you've tried all the troubleshooting in the manual, then you could take it to one of our Service Agents to get it repaired or to get a replacement part. The details are in my comment above.

Let me know how you go or if you're still having issues afterwards!

Cheers, Hayley.

Thanks for your help

I live in NSW and have no idea where the Bosch Keo might be bought in Perth, especially as Bunnings appears to be the lead supplier. You may want to contact Bosch Australia to identify an alternative supplier in your area. Basically, the Keo is a light weight battery powered reciprocating saw. There are several other similar saws available on the market. While the Keo was designed for and marketed to gardeners, you may find that some of the alternatives could be used in the same way in addition to the handyman / builder market for which they were designed. Ask your local supplier for their advice and recommendations. The good people at Bunnings would be a good starting point.

I bought mine online from a hardware store on e-bay. Some online stores and e-bay stores might still have some in stock.

You can buy blades from other manufacturers as long as they are made to fit the Keo. I have various blades and bought 5 pruning blades in a pack on special as well as a mixed set by Bosch.

I have not seen this on sale anywhere. It is approx $169 at Bunnings.

Where can I get a 10,8 V replacement battery for a Bosch KEO garden saw? Lennart
