User manual BOSCH PST 900 PEL

[. . . ] Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. B) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. [. . . ] Insert the dust cover from the front in such a manner that the notches of the dust cover engage into the noses 10 on the machine casing. Remove the dust cover for applications without dust extraction as well as when performing mitre cuts. For this, lightly bend the ends of the dust cover apart and pull it off to the front. Inserting/Replacing the Laser Module Batteries Insert the supplied batteries 17 into the laser module 16 before starting operation for the first time. Pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the battery lid. Use only LR44 batteries from the same manufacturer 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. 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. 26 | English The optimal orbital action setting for the respective application can be determined through practical testing. The following recommendations apply: ­ Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a finer and cleaner cutting edge. ­ 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. Remove the dust cover 13 (see "Dust Cover") and pull the saw blade storage 6 out of the base plate 7. ­ Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop in the direction of the saw blade 12. PST 900 PEL (see figure E): ­ Release the base plate clamping lever 31 and lightly push the base plate 7 in the direction of the vacuum connection 5. ­ Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop in the direction of the saw blade 12. Close the base plate clamping lever 31 to lock the base plate in the adjusted position. The dust cover 13 and the splinter guard 26 cannot be used when performing mitre cuts. 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°. [. . . ] Coolant/Lubricant When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied alongside cutting line because of the material heating up. In extreme working conditions, conductive dust can accumulate in the interior of the machine when working with metal. The use of a stationary extraction system is recommended in such cases as well as frequently blowing out the ventilation slots and installing a residual current device (RCD). If worn, it must be replaced through an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent. [. . . ]
