Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Orbital Action Settings
(PST 700 PE/PST 700 PEL)
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
6
, even during operation.
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 (see figures D–F)
The base plate
5
can be swivelled by 45° to the
left or right for mitre cuts.
PST 700 PE/PST 700 PEL: If required, remove
the dust cover
11
(see “Dust Cover”).
PST 670 L: Insert a saw blade
10
.
Loosen the screw
23
and lightly slide the base
plate
5
toward the vacuum connection
4
.
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
5
to the desired position according to the scale
25
. Other mitre angles can be adjusted using a
protractor.
Afterwards, push the base plate
5
to the stop in
the direction of the saw blade
10
.
PST 670 L: Position the holder for the guide roll-
er
22
in such a manner that the guide roller
9
faces against the back of the saw blade. Precise
cuts are possible only when the guide roller fac-
es tightly against the back of the saw blade.
Tighten the screw
23
again.
The dust cover
11
and the splinter guard
21
can-
not be used when performing mitre cuts.
Offsetting the Base Plate (see figures D–E)
For sawing close to edges, the base plate
5
can
be offset to the rear.
PST 670 L/PST 700 PEL: Remove the laser mod-
ule
14
, if required.
PST 670 L: Insert a saw blade
10
.
Loosen the screw
23
and slide the base plate
5
toward the vacuum connection
4
to the stop.
PST 670 L: Position the holder for the guide roll-
er
22
in such a manner that the guide roller
9
faces against the back of the saw blade. Precise
cuts are possible only when the guide roller fac-
es tightly against the back of the saw blade.
Tighten the screw
23
again.
Sawing with the base plate
5
offset is possible
only with a mitre angle of 0°. In addition, the
parallel guide with circle cutter
28
(accessory)
as well as the splinter guard
21
may not be used.
Sawdust Blower Device
With the air jet of the sawdust blower device
7
, the cutting line can be kept free of dust and
chips.
Switching on the sawdust blower device: For
cuts in materials with high removal rate, such as
in wood, plastic, etc., push the switch
7
to posi-
tion
“I”
.
Switching off the sawdust blower device: For
cuts in metal and when a dust extraction system
is connected, push the switch
7
to position
“0”
.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
