Operation

Operating Modes

Orbital Action Settings

The four orbital action settings allow for optimal adaptation of 
cutting speed, cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the ma-
terial being sawed.

The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 

8

, 

even during operation.

The optimal orbital action setting for the respective appli-
cation can be determined through practical testing. The follo-
wing recommendations apply:
– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a fin-

er and cleaner cutting edge.

– For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital ac-

tion 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 figure H) 
(only GST 18 V-LI B)

The base plate 

7

 can be swivelled by 45° to the left or right for 

mitre cuts.
Remove the vacuum connection 

20

.

Loosen screw 

24

 with hex key 

5

 and slide the base plate 

7

 in 

toward the battery 

3

 to the stop.

For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the base plate has ad-
justment notches on the left and right at 0 ° and 45 °. Swivel 
the base plate 

7

 to the desired position according 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 

10

.

Tighten the screw 

24

 again.

The vacuum connection 

20

 and the splinter guard 

22

 cannot 

be used for bevel cuts.

Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure H) 
(only GST 18 V-LI B)

For sawing close to edges, the base plate 

7

 can be offset to 

the rear.
Loosen screw 

24

 with hex key 

5

 and slide the base plate 

7

 in 

toward the battery 

3

 to the stop.

Tighten the screw 

24

 again.

The splinter guard 

22

 must not be used when sawing with the 

base plate 

7

 offset.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Insert the charged battery 

3

 from the rear into the base of the 

power tool. Press the battery completely into the base until 
the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is secure-
ly locked.

Starting and Stopping (GST 18 V-LI B)

To 

start

 the machine, firstly press on the safety switch 

1

 next 

to the symbol   to deactivate it. Then press and hold the 
On/Off switch 

2

.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

2

. Acti-

vate the safety switch 

1

 by pressing on it next to the 

symbol .

Note: 

For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 

2

 cannot be 

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Starting and Stopping (GST 18 V-LI S)

To 

start

 the machine, push the On/Off switch 

2

 forward so 

that the 

“1”

 is indicated on the switch.

To 

switch off

 the machine, push the On/Off switch 

2

 toward 

the rear so that the 

“0”

 is indicated on the switch.

Controlling the 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.

After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine 
can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the ma-
chine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for ap-
prox. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

GST 18 V-LI B: 

Increasing or reducing the pressure on the 

On/Off switch 

2

 enables stepless stroke-rate control of the 

switched-on machine.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 

2

 results in a low stroke 

rate. Increasing the pressure also increases the stroke rate.

GST 18 V-LI S: 

With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselec-

tion 

16

, the stroke rate can be preset and changed during op-

eration.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the 
permitted battery temperature range, the speed is reduced or 
the power tool switches off. At reduced speed, the power tool 
will run again at full speed once the permitted battery temper-
ature is reached or the load is reduced. During automatic 
shut-down, switch off the power tool, allow the battery to cool 
down, then switch the power tool back on.

Protection Against Deep Discharging

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging 
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is 
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective 
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

No orbital action
Small orbital action
Medium orbital action
Large orbital action
