Laser Module (PST 670 L/PST 700 PEL)
Inserting/Replacing the Laser Module Batteries
Insert the supplied batteries 15 into the laser
module 14 before starting operation for the first
time.
To open the battery lid 16, pull the latch 17 and
remove the battery lid. Insert the batteries. Pay
attention to the correct polarity according to the
representation on the battery lid.
Always replace all three batteries 15 together.
Use only LR44 batteries from the same manufac-
turer and with the same capacity.
Attaching/Removing the Laser Module
Insert the laser module 14 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.
Splinter Guard (see figure C)
The splinter guard 21 (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 5 must not be moved back for cuts that are
close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard 21 from the bottom into
the base plate 5.

Operation
Operating Modes
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Orbital Action Settings
(PST 700 PE/PST 700 PEL)
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 6, even during operation.
No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
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
direction of the grain, work with maximum
orbital action.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figures D – F)
The base plate 5 can be swivelled by 45° to the
left or right for mitre cuts.
PST 700 PE/PST 700 PEL: If required, remove
the dust cover 11 (see "Dust Cover").
PST 670 L: Insert a saw blade 10.
Loosen the screw 23 and lightly slide the base
plate 5 toward the vacuum connection 4.
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
5 to the desired position according to the scale
25. Other mitre angles can be adjusted using a
protractor.
