Splinter Guard
The splinter guard 22 (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 22 from the bottom into the base
plate 7.
PST 1000 PEL (see figure C): When using the sliding shoe
11, the splinter guard 22 is not inserted into the base plate 7,
but into the sliding shoe.
"Cut Control"
"Cut Control" enables precise guiding of the power tool along
a cutting line marked on the workpiece. The "Cut Control" kit
includes the viewing window 12 with cutting marks and the
base 13 for attachment to the power tool.
Attaching "Cut Control" to the Base Plate (see figure D)
Clamp the "Cut Control" 12 viewing window into the holders
of the base 13. Then, lightly press the base together and allow
it to engage into the lead 23 of the base plate 7.
Attaching "Cut Control" to the Sliding Shoe
(PST 1000 PEL) (see figure E)
With this cutting-line control system, the "Cut Control" view-
ing window 12 can either be fastened together with the base
13 to the base plate 7 or separate, directly in the holder of the
sliding shoe 11.
Remove the "Cut Control" base 13 from base plate 7. For this,
lightly press the base together and remove it from the guide 23.
Pull off the "Cut Control" viewing window 12 from base 13
and clamp it into the holders on the sliding shoe 11.

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Dust Cover (see figure F)
Mount the dust cover 10 before connecting the machine to
the dust extraction.
Mount the dust cover 10 to the machine in such a manner that
the prongs engage into the openings of the housing.
Bosch Power Tools
Remove the dust cover 10 for applications without dust ex-
traction as well as when performing mitre cuts. For this, push
the dust cover together at the two outer holders and pull it off
toward the front.
Connecting the Dust Extraction
Place a vacuum hose 4 (accessory) onto the vacuum connec-
tion 5. Connect the vacuum hose 4 with a vacuum cleaner (ac-
cessory). An overview for the connection of various vacuum
cleaners can be found at the end of these instructions.
Switch the saw dust blower off when a dust extraction system
is connected (see "Sawdust Blower Device").
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Operation

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 ma-
terial being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 8,
even during operation.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-
tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-
ing recommendations 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 direction of the
grain, work with maximum orbital 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 cannot be used
when performing mitre cuts.
If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see "Dust Cover",
page 17) and take off the splinter guard 22 (see "Splinter
Guard", page 17).
PST 900 PEL/PST 9500 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 to-
ward the vacuum connection 5.
