The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
u Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Connecting the dust extraction (see figures G–H)
Fit the extraction outlet(22) in the recesses of the base
plate(7).
Connect a dust extraction hose (23) (accessory) to the ex-
traction outlet (22). Connect the dust extraction hose (23)
to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (21).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Operating modes
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Pendulum action settings
The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.
You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation
using the adjusting lever (8).
No pendulum action
Low pendulum action
Moderate pendulum action
High pendulum action
The optimum pendulum level for each application can be de-
termined by a practical test. Note the following recommend-
ations:
– Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner
cutting edge.
– Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin ma-
terials (e.g. sheets).
– Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum ac-
tion.
– You can work on soft materials and saw wood in the direc-
tion of the grain using maximum pendulum action.
Setting the mitre/bevel angle (see figureI)
(GST18V‑LIB)
The base plate (7) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The extraction outlet (22) and anti-splinter guard (21) can-
not be used while mitre/bevel cuts are being made.
– Remove the extraction outlet (22) and the anti-splinter
guard (21).
– Loosen the screw (24) with the hex key (5) and slide the
base plate (7) all the way towards the battery (3).
– The base plate has lock-in points at 0° and 45° on the left
and right so that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set.
Swivel the base plate (7) to the desired position accord-
ing to the scale (25). Other mitre/bevel angles can be ad-
justed using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (7) towards the saw blade (10)
as far as it will go.
– Retighten the screw (24).
Moving the base plate (see figureI) (GST18V‑LIB)
You can move the base plate (7) back for sawing close to
edges.
Loosen the screw of the base plate (24) with the hex key (5)
and slide the base plate (7) all the way towards the battery
(3).
Retighten the screw (24).
Sawing with an offset base plate (7) is only possible with a
mitre angle of 0°. In all other cases the anti-splinter guard
(21) may not be used.
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Slide the charged battery (3) from below into the foot of the
power tool. Press the battery fully into the base until the bat-
tery is securely locked.
Switching on the LED worklight (GST18V‑LIS)
To switch the worklight(12) on or off, press the worklight
button(15).
u Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
you.
Switching On and Off (GST18V‑LIS)
u Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch(2) for-
wards so that "I" appears on the switch.
To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch(2)
backwards so that "0" appears on the switch.
Switching On and Off (GST18V‑LIB)
To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off button (1)
next to the symbol first, thereby deactivating it. Then
press the on/off switch (2) and keep it pressed.
