The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Operation

Operating Modes

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Orbital Action Settings
The four orbital action settings allow for optimal adaptation of
cutting speed, cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the ma-
terial being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 8,
even during operation.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-
tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-
ing recommendations apply:
– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a
finer and cleaner cutting edge.
– For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital
action off.
– For hard materials such as steel, work with low orbital
action.
– For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the
grain, work with maximum orbital action.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
The base plate 7 can be swivelled by 45° to the left or right for
mitre cuts.
The dust cover 10 and the splinter guard 22 cannot be used
when performing mitre cuts.
If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see "Dust Cover",
page 16) and take off the splinter guard 22 (see "Splinter
Guard", page 16).
PST 900 PEL (see figure G):
– Pull the saw blade storage 21 out of the base plate 7.
– Loosen the screw 24 and lightly slide the base plate 7 to-
ward the vacuum connection 5.
– For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the base plate has
adjustment notches on the left and right at 0°, 22.5° and
45°. Swivel the base plate 7 to the desired position ac-
cording to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be adjusted
using a protractor.
– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop in the direc-
tion of the saw blade 19.
– Tighten the screw 24 again.
PST 1000 PEL (see figure H):
– Release the base plate clamping lever 6 and lightly push the
base plate 7 in the direction of the vacuum connection 5.
Bosch Power Tools
– For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the base plate has
adjustment notches on the left and right at 0°, 22.5° and
45°. Swivel the base plate 7 to the desired position ac-
cording to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be adjusted
using a protractor.
– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop in the direc-
tion of the saw blade 19.
– Close the base plate clamping lever 6 to lock the base plate
in the adjusted position.
Cut Control for Bevel Cuts (PST 900 PEL)
29 12 13 7
For cutting-line control of bevel cuts, the "Cut Control" view-
ing window 12 has a mark 29 for 0° right-angle cuts and a
mark 30 each for the left- or rightward sloping 45° bevel cut
according to scale 25.
The cutting mark for bevel cuts between 0° and 45° results
proportionally. It can additionally be drawn on the "Cut Con-
trol" viewing window 12 with a non-permanent marker, and
easily be removed again.
For accurate working, it is best to carry out a test cut.
Cut Control for Bevel Cuts (PST 1000 PEL)
30 12 13 25 7
For cutting-line control of bevel cuts, the "Cut Control" view-
ing window 12 has a mark 29 for 0° right-angle cuts and two
marks each for the left- or rightward sloping 45 bevel cut ac-
cording to scale 25. For attachment of the cutting-line control
with the "Cut Control" base 13 to the base plate 7, the inside
mark 30 applies. For attachment of the "Cut Control" viewing
window 12 directly to the sliding shoe 11, the outer mark 31
applies.
The cutting mark for bevel cuts between 0° and 45° results
proportionally. It can additionally be drawn on the "Cut Con-
trol" viewing window 12 with a non-permanent marker, and
easily be removed again.
For accurate working, it is best to carry out a test cut.
Offsetting the Base Plate
For sawing close to edges, the base plate 7 can be offset to
the rear.
