Bosch Power Tools
Laser Module
(PST 800 PEL/PST 900 PEL)
Inserting/Replacing the Laser Module Batteries
Insert the supplied batteries
17
into the laser
module
16
before starting operation for the first
time.
To open the battery lid
18
, pull the latch
19
and
remove the battery lid. Insert the batteries. Pay
attention to the correct polarity according to the
representation on the battery lid.
Always replace all three batteries
17
together.
Use only LR44 batteries from the same manufac-
turer and with the same capacity.
Attaching/Removing the Laser Module
Insert the laser module
16
with the inside noses
engaging into the notches on the casing of the
power tool and push it down to the stop.
To remove the laser module, push it upward and
remove it from the casing.
f
The laser module must be removed from the
power tool when used for stationary work
or when sawing from below a workpiece.
One can easily be blinded from the laser
beam when carrying out such work.
Splinter Guard (see figure B)
The splinter guard
26
(accessory) can prevent
fraying of the surface while sawing wood. The
splinter guard can only be used for certain saw
blade types and only for cutting angles of 0°.
When sawing with the splinter guard, the base
plate
7
must not be moved back for cuts that are
close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard
26
from the bottom into
the base plate
7
.
PST 900 PEL: When using the sliding shoe
11
,
the splinter guard
26
is not inserted into the
base plate
7
, but into the sliding shoe.
Sliding Shoe (PST 900 PEL)
When working surfaces that are easily
scratched, the sliding shoe
11
can be attached
onto the base plate
7
in order to prevent the sur-
face from being scratched.
To attach the sliding shoe
11
, insert it at the
front of the base plate
7
, push the rear part up-
ward and allow it to latch.
Operation
Operating Modes
f
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.
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.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
