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").
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.
Bosch Power Tools
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 17) 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.
– 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.
