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 material being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the ad-
justing lever 8, even during operation.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
The optimal orbital action setting for the respec-
tive application can be determined through
practical testing. The following recommenda-
tions 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 di-
rection of the grain, work with maximum or-
bital 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 can-
not be used when performing mitre cuts.
If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see "Dust
Cover", page 24) and take off the splinter guard
22 (see "Splinter Guard", page 23).
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 toward 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 accord-
ing to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be
adjusted using a protractor.
– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop
in the direction 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 accord-
ing to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be
adjusted using a protractor.
– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop
in the direction 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" viewing 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 accord-
ing to scale 25.
The cutting mark for bevel cuts between 0° and
45° results proportionally. It can additionally be
drawn on the "Cut Control" viewing window 12
with a non-permanent marker, and easily be re-
moved again.
For accurate working, it is best to carry out a
test cut.
