Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
end of these instructions. Use only T-shank saw blades. The saw
blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A1)
If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see "Dust Cover").
Insert the saw blade 19 (teeth in cutting direction) into the
stroke rod 16 until it latches. The SDS lever 17 automatically
snaps to the rear and the saw blade is locked. Do not manually
press the lever 17 toward the rear, otherwise you could dam-
age the machine.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that the back of the
saw blade is positioned in the groove of the guide roller 18.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure A2)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such
a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by
the ejected saw blade.
Turn the SDS lever 17 forward towards the contact protector
20 to the stop. The saw blade is released and ejected.
Saw Blade Storage (PST 900 PEL) (see figure B)
Up to six saw blades with lengths to 110 mm can be stored in
the saw blade storage 21. Insert the saw blades with the T-
shank into the recess of the saw blade storage intended for this.
Up to three saw blades can be placed on top of each other.
Shut the saw blade storage and slide it to the stop into the
opening of the base plate 7.
Sliding Shoe (PST 1000 PEL)
When working surfaces that are easily scratched, the sliding
shoe 11 can be attached onto the base plate 7 in order to pre-
vent the surface from being scratched.
To attach the sliding shoe 11, insert it at the front of the base
plate 7, push the rear part upward and allow it to latch.
Splinter Guard
The splinter guard 22 (accessory) can prevent fraying of the
surface while sawing wood. The splinter guard can only be
used for certain saw blade types and only for cutting angles of
0°. When sawing with the splinter guard, the base plate 7
must not be moved back for cuts that are close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard 22 from the bottom into the base
plate 7.
PST 1000 PEL (see figure C): When using the sliding shoe
11, the splinter guard 22 is not inserted into the base plate 7,
but into the sliding shoe.

"Cut Control"
"Cut Control" enables precise guiding of the power tool along
a cutting line marked on the workpiece. The "Cut Control" kit
includes the viewing window 12 with cutting marks and the
base 13 for attachment to the power tool.
Attaching "Cut Control" to the Base Plate (see figure D)
Clamp the "Cut Control" 12 viewing window into the holders
of the base 13. Then, lightly press the base together and allow
it to engage into the lead 23 of the base plate 7.
Attaching "Cut Control" to the Sliding Shoe
(PST 1000 PEL) (see figure E)
With this cutting-line control system, the "Cut Control" view-
ing window 12 can either be fastened together with the base
13 to the base plate 7 or separate, directly in the holder of the
sliding shoe 11.
Remove the "Cut Control" base 13 from base plate 7. For this,
lightly press the base together and remove it from the guide
23.
Pull off the "Cut Control" viewing window 12 from base 13
and clamp it into the holders on the sliding shoe 11.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Dust Cover (see figure F)
Mount the dust cover 10 before connecting the machine to
the dust extraction.
Mount the dust cover 10 to the machine in such a manner that
the prongs engage into the openings of the housing.
Remove the dust cover 10 for applications without dust ex-
traction as well as when performing mitre cuts. For this, push
the dust cover together at the two outer holders and pull it off
toward the front.
Connecting the Dust Extraction
Place a vacuum hose 4 (accessory) onto the vacuum connec-
tion 5. Connect the vacuum hose 4 with a vacuum cleaner (ac-
cessory). An overview for the connection of various vacuum
cleaners can be found at the end of these instructions.
Switch the saw dust blower off when a dust extraction system
is connected (see "Sawdust Blower Device").
