Operating Modes - Bosch PST 65 Manual Original

Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Connect a dust extraction hose (3) (accessory) to the ex-
traction outlet (4). Connect the dust extraction hose (3) to a
dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (14).
Switch off the sawdust blower device if you have connected
the dust extraction system (see "Sawdust blower device",
page 15).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation

Operating modes

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Adjusting the mitre angle (see figures E–F)
The base plate (5) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The anti-splinter guard (14) cannot be used while mitre cuts
are being made.
– Insert a saw blade (8).
– Remove the anti-splinter guard (14).
– Loosen the screw (17) and push the base plate (5)
slightly towards the extraction outlet (4).
– The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on
the left and right so that the precise mitre angle can be
adjusted. Swivel the base plate (5) to the desired posi-
tion according to the scale (18). Other mitre angles can
be adjusted using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (5) towards the saw blade (8)
as far as it will go.
– Slide the bracket (16) so that the guide roller (7) fits
against the back of the saw blade. Precise cuts are only
Bosch Power Tools
possible when the guide roller fits closely against the back
of the saw blade.
– Retighten the screw (17).
Cut Control for mitre cuts
(19) (9) (10) (5)
To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the
viewing window for Cut Control (9) has a mark (19) for
right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (20) for rightward- and
leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale
(18).
The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-
tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for
Cut Control (9) using a non-permanent marker and easily
removed again.
We recommend making a test cut for precise results.
Moving the base plate (see figure E)
You can move the base plate (5) back for sawing close to
edges.
Insert a saw blade (8).
Loosen the screw (17) and push the base plate (5) towards
the extraction outlet (4) as far as it will go.
Slide the bracket (16) so that the guide roller (7) fits against
the back of the saw blade. Precise cuts are only possible
when the guide roller fits closely against the back of the saw
blade.
Retighten the screw (17).
Sawing with an offset base plate (5) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In addition, Cut Control must not be used
with the base (10) or the anti-splinter guard (14).
Sawdust blower device
The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow
from the sawdust blower device.
To switch on the sawdust blower
device: When working with high mater-
ial removal in wood, plastic and other
similar materials, push the switch (6)
towards the extraction outlet.
To switch off the sawdust blower
device: When working in metal and with
a dust extraction system connected,
push the switch (6) towards the saw
blade.
