[. . . ] When sawing, the complete surface of the base plate 6 must be in secure contact. For the working of smaller or thin workpieces, use a stable foundation or a saw table (accessory). When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill (danger of kick-back). Always switch the machine off and wait until it has come to a standstill before placing it down. [. . . ] The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial. Sawdust Blower (PST 750 PE/PST 850 PE) With the air stream of the sawdust blowing device 8, 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. 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 materials such as steel, for example. PST 650 PE/PST 750 PE Loosen the screw 17 and slide the base plate 6 forward somewhat in the direction of the saw blade. PST 850 PE Swing the clamping lever 5 out of the base plate 6 and loosen the base plate by turning the clamping lever anti-clockwise. Then slide the base plate 6 somewhat in the direction of the saw blade. Retighten the clamping lever 5 by turning clockwise and swing back into the base plate. Take care that the clamping lever is completely sunk into the base plate 6. 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 7 (also when the machine is running). After working for a long period with a low stroke rate, allow the machine to cool by running for approx. When sawing metal or similar material, apply a cooling or lubricating agent along the cutting line. parallel Guide/Circle Cutter (Accessory) Maximum material thickness: 30 mm H Plunge Sawing Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc. place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch on. Press the machine firmly against the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece. As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw along the cutting line. With the base plate repositioned , the cutting angle cannot be changed. ­ The circle cutter/parallel guide 22 as well as the splintering protector 15 cannot be used. [. . . ] We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in conformity with the following standards or standardization documents: EN 50 144 according to the provisions of the directives 89/336/EEC, 98/37/EC. The wires in the cable are coloured according to the following code: Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth terminal of the plug. Important: If the plug on the cable of this machine must be replaced, dispose of the old plug to prevent misuse. If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out by an authorised customer services agent for Bosch power tools. [. . . ]
