User manual BOSCH PST 1000 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. [. . . ] Selecting a Saw Blade An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the end of these instructions. The saw blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut. Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A1) If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see "Dust Cover"). Insert the saw blade 19 (teeth in cutting direction) into the stroke rod 16 until it latches. the SDS lever 17 automatically snaps to the rear and the saw blade is locked. Do not manually press the lever 17 toward the rear, otherwise you could damage the machine. While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that the back of the saw blade is positioned in the groove of the guide roller 18. Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure A2) When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by the ejected saw blade. Turn the SDS lever 17 forward towards the contact protector 20 to the stop. When working surfaces that are easily scratched, the sliding shoe 11 can be attached onto the base plate 7 in order to prevent the surface from being scratched. To attach the sliding shoe 11, insert it at the front of the base plate 7, push the rear part upward and allow it to latch. When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner. 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-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). 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 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 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. The dust cover 10 and the splinter guard 22 cannot be used when performing mitre cuts. [. . . ] When working small or thin workpieces, always use a stable support or a saw station (Bosch PLS 300). Plunge Cutting (see figure I) Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc. Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 7 on to the workpiece without the saw blade 19 touching the workpiece and switch on. for machines with stroke rate control , select the maximum stroke rate.
