Connecting the Dust Extraction (see figures D – E)

Insert the vacuum connection 

20

 into the opening of base 

plate 

7

.

Place a vacuum hose 

21

 (accessory) onto the vacuum con-

nection 

20

. Connect the vacuum hose 

21

 with a vacuum 

cleaner (accessory). An overview for the connection of vari-
ous vacuum cleaners can be found at the end of these instruc-
tions.

To enable optimum dust extraction, use the splinter guard 

22

if possible.

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.

Splinter Guard (see figure F)

The splinter guard 

22

 can prevent fraying of the surface while 

sawing wood. The splinter guard can only be used with certain 
saw blade types, and only at a cutting angle of 0 °. When saw-
ing with the splinter guard, the base plate 

7

 may not be offset 

to the rear for sawing close to edges.

Insert the splinter guard 

22

 into base plate 

7

 from the front.

Sliding Shoe (see figure G)

The plastic guide plate 

6

 of base plate 

7

 reduces sensitive sur-

faces from being scratched up. When cutting metal, use the 
steel sliding shoe 

23

.

To mount the steel sliding shoe 

23

, slide it onto base plate 

7

from the front.

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 
material being sawed.

The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 

8

, 

even during operation.

The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-
tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-
ing recommendations 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 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 se-
curely 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.

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