Ensure that the mains voltage is correct!
The voltage of the power source must agree with the
value given on the nameplate of the machine. Machines
designated for 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On/Off
To
switch on
the machine, press the On-Off switch
1
.
Lock
the depressed On-Off switch
1
by pressing the
lock-on button
3
.
To
switch off
the machine, release the On-Off switch
1
or push and then release it.
Continuously Variable Stroke Rate Adjustment
Light application of pressure on the On-Off switch
1
results in a low stroke rate. Increasing pressure results
in a higher stroke rate.
Stroke Rate Preselection
The required stroke rate can be preselected (also dur-
ing operation) using the thumbwheel
2
.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material
and the working conditions and can be determined by
a practical trial.
Sawdust Blower (PST 7500 PE)
With the air stream of the sawdust blowing device
7
,
the cutting line can be kept free of dust.
Blower effect switched on:
For working with wood, plastic and
other materials that produce large
amounts of dust.
Blower effect switched off:
For working with metals and when
cooling or lubricating agents are
used.
(Not for PST 430 E/6500 E)
The pendulum action that is adjustable in four steps
makes possible the optimum adaptation of cutting
speed and performance as well as cutting pattern to
the material being worked.
The pendulum action can be set with the adjustment
lever
6
(also when the machine is running).
It is recommended that:
–
The finer and cleaner the cut edge should be, the
smaller the pendulum action step selected should be
or the pendulum action switched off.
–
The pendulum action be switched off for working
with thin materials such as sheet metal, for example.
–
The small pendulum action step be used in hard ma-
terials such as steel, for example.
–
In soft materials and for cuts in the direction of the
grain, the maximum pendulum action be used.
The optimal setting can be determined in practice.
PST 430 E/6500 E/600 PE/6500 PE/6800 PE
Loosen the screw
16
and slide the base plate
5
for-
ward somewhat in the direction of the saw blade. The
base plate can be swung to both sides by 45°.
Any cutting angle can be set exactly with a
protractor
17
.
For the setting of precise bevel angles, the base plate
has a scale
15
with detent points in 15° steps. Slide
the rotated base plate in the direction of the blow out
opening until it latches.
After adjusting, retighten the screw
16
.
PST 430 E/6500 E:
When tightening the screw
16
,
take care that the roller guide
9
rest against the rear of
the saw blade.
PST 7500 PE
Loosen the screw
16
and slide the base plate
5
some-
what in the direction of the blow-out opening. The
base plate can be swung to both sides by 45°.
Any cutting angle can be set exactly with a
protractor
17
.
For the setting of precise bevel angles, the base plate
has a scale
15
with detent points in 15° steps. Slide
the rotated base plate in the direction of the saw blade
until it latches.
After adjusting, retighten the screw
16
.
For sawing close to edges, the foot plate can be offset
to the rear.
Unscrew the screw
16
completely. Lift off the base
plate and reposition so that the screw
16
with the re-
tainer
20
fits in the front cut-out
19
of the base plate
and can be screwed into the threaded hole
18
.
Before tightening the screw
16
, press the base plate
to the rear until it latches.
PST 430 E/6500 E:
Reposition the guide roller
9
to-
gether with the retainer
20
. When tightening the screw
16
, the guide roller
9
must rest against the rear edge
of the saw blade.
–
With the base plate repositioned, the cutting angle
cannot be changed.
–
The circle cutter/parallel guide
21
as well as the
splintering protector
13
cannot be used.
