General Power Tool Safety Warnings
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Bosch Power Tools
3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 1 609 929 N32 | (10.12.08)
OBJ_BUCH-250-004.book Page 20 Wednesday, December 10, 2008 12:51 PM
4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 1 609 929 N32 | (10.12.08)
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws f Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. f Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries. f Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece. f Pay attention that the base plate 7 rests securely on the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kickback. f 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. In this manner you can avoid kickback and can place down the machine securely. f Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or unsharp saw blades can break or cause kickback. f Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback. f Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. f Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. f Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool. Bosch Power Tools
OBJ_BUCH-250-004.book Page 21 Wednesday, December 10, 2008 12:51 PM English | 21 f Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radiation.
f Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to
BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere. Products sold in AUS only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception.
Safety Warnings for Laser Machines
(PST 800 PEL/PST 900 PEL) f Caution – The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here, can lead to dangerous radiation exposure. f Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognisable. Laser radiation class 2M Do not stare into the laser beam yourself or view directly at it with optical instruments.
f Do not allow children to use the power tool without supervision. They could unintentionally blind other persons. f 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.

Measured values determined according to
EN 60745. Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level Sound power level Uncertainty K= Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: Cutting wood: Vibration emission value ah Uncertainty K Cutting sheet metal: Vibration emission value ah
Uncertainty K The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Assembly f Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade f When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves. Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the end of these instructions. Use only T-shank saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut. Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts. Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A1) If required, remove the dust cover 13 (see “Dust Cover”). Insert the saw blade 12 (teeth in cutting direction) into the stroke rod 23 until it latches. The SDS lever 24 automatically snaps to the rear and the saw blade is locked. Do not manually press the lever 24 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 25.
Dust/Chip Extraction f 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). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. – Use dust extraction whenever possible. – Provide for good ventilation of the working place. – It is recommended to wear a P2 filterclass respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. Dust Cover Mount the dust cover 13 before connecting the machine to the dust extraction. 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.
f Check the tight seating of the saw blade.
A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
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.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure A2)
Connecting the Dust Extraction
f 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.
Place a vacuum hose 4 (accessory) onto the vacuum connection 5. Connect the vacuum hose 4 with a vacuum cleaner (accessory). An overview for the connection of various vacuum cleaners can be found at the end of these instructions.
Turn the SDS lever 24 toward the front in the direction of the contact protector 14. The saw blade is released and ejected.
Switch the saw dust blower off when a dust extraction system is connected (see “Sawdust
Blower Device”). The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked. When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Switching On and Off To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 3. To lock the On/Off switch 3, keep it depressed and push the lock-on button 2 to the right or left.
Starting Opeation of the Laser Module
(PST 800 PEL/PST 900 PEL) f Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance. To switch the laser on, press the top of switch 15 (“on”). To switch the laser off, press the bottom of switch 15 (“off”).
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 3. When the On/Off switch 3 is locked, press it first and then release it.
f Immediately switch the laser off again each time after using. When handling the laser module (separately or when mounted), one can be blinded by the laser beam.
After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the machine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for approx.
3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.
f 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.
Controlling/Presetting the Stroke Rate
The laser switches off automatically after an operating period of approx. 10 minutes.
PST 700 PE: Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 3 enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on machine.
When the On/Off switch 3 is locked, it is not possible to reduce the stroke rate. PST 800 PEL/PST 900 PEL: With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 1, the stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation. 1–2: 3–4: 5–6:
Medium stroke rate High stroke rate
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and aluminium.
Working Advice f When working small or thin work pieces, always use a sturdy support or a saw table
(accessory). Laser Module (PST 800 PEL/PST 900 PEL) Assembling the laser module 16 to the machine is recommended when sawing alongside an already marked cutting line. Attach the laser module onto the machine (see “Attaching/Removing the Laser Module”) and follow the marked cutting line with the laser line while sawing. When sawing under unfavourable conditions (e.g. intense sun irradiation), the visibility of the laser line can be improved when using the laser viewing glasses 22 (accessory). f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radiation. f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception.

Saw Blade Storage (see figure F)
Eight saw blades with lengths up to 110 mm can be stored in the saw blade storage 6. Insert the saw blades with the T-shank into the recess of the saw blade storage intended for this. Up to four saw blades can be placed on top of each other.
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.
Shut the saw blade storage and slide it to the stop into the opening of the base plate 7.
Plunge Cutting (see figures G–H) f Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.! Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°. Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 7 on to the workpiece without the saw blade 12 touching the workpiece and switch on. For machines with stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate. Firmly hold the machine against the workpiece and by tilting the machine, slowly plunge the saw blade into the workpiece. When the base plate 7 fully lays on the workpiece, continue sawing along the desired cutting line. Parallel Guide with Circle Cutter (Accessory) For cuts using the parallel guide with circle cutter 34 (accessory), the thickness of the material must not exceed a maximum of 30 mm. Parallel Cuts (see figure I): Loosen the locking screw 33 and slide the scale of the parallel guide through the lead 32 in the base plate. Set the desired cutting width as the scale value on the inside edge of the base plate. Tighten the locking screw 33. Circular Cuts (see figure J): Set the locking screw 33 to the other side of the parallel guide. Slide the scale of the parallel guide through the lead 32 in the base plate.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning f Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. f For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean. Clean the saw blade holder regularly. For this, remove the saw blade from the machine and lightly tap out the machine on a level surface. Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunctions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of dust from below or overhead. f In extreme working conditions, conductive dust can accumulate in the interior of the machine when working with metal. The protective insulation of the machine can be degraded. 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). Lubricate the guide roller 25 occasionally with a drop of oil. Check the guide roller 25 regularly. If worn, it must be replaced through an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent. If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools. In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the machine.
