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.

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 can-
not be used when performing mitre cuts.
If required, remove the dust cover 10 (see “Dust 
Cover”, page 24) and take off the splinter guard 
22 (see “Splinter Guard”, page 23).
PST 900 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 toward the vacuum 
connection 5.

– For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the 

base plate has adjustment notches on the 
left and right at 0°, 22.5° and 45°. Swivel the 
base plate 7 to the desired position accord-
ing to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be 
adjusted using a protractor.

– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop 

in the direction of the saw blade 19.

– Tighten the screw 24 again.

PST 1000 PEL (see figure H):
– Release the base plate clamping lever 6 and 

lightly push the base plate 7 in the direction 
of the vacuum connection 5.

– For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the 

base plate has adjustment notches on the 
left and right at 0°, 22.5° and 45°. Swivel the 
base plate 7 to the desired position accord-
ing to the scale 25. Other mitre angles can be 
adjusted using a protractor.

– Afterwards, push the base plate 7 to the stop 

in the direction of the saw blade 19.

– Close the base plate clamping lever 6 to lock 

the base plate in the adjusted position.

For cutting-line control of bevel cuts, the “Cut 
Control” viewing window 12 has a mark 29 for 
0° right-angle cuts and a mark 30 each for the 
left- or rightward sloping 45° bevel cut accord-
ing to scale 25.
The cutting mark for bevel cuts between 0° and 
45° results proportionally. It can additionally be 
drawn on the “Cut Control” viewing window 12 
with a non-permanent marker, and easily be re-
moved again.
For accurate working, it is best to carry out a 
test cut.
