Power jigsaw Bosch PST 900 PEL

The Bosch PST 900 PEL power jigsaw is a compact top-handle tool designed for DIY enthusiasts who need a saw for demanding renovation and cutting tasks. Powered by a 620 W motor, it delivers high cutting performance with precise control, suitable for working in wood, aluminium and steel. The jigsaw includes Bosch Electronic stroke-rate preselection and an integrated control wheel, Bosch CutControl with a transparent retractable guide, integrated PowerLight LED and Bosch Low Vibration technology for comfortable, accurate sawing.

Advantages

The PST 900 PEL combines a powerful 620 W motor with four-stage orbital pendulum action to achieve fast cutting progress and good manoeuvrability around corners. CutControl and the integrated PowerLight ensure clear visibility and precise tracking of the cutting line. The ergonomic softgrip handle and linear mass balance reduce vibration and improve handling. A one-handed SDS blade-change system allows tool-free and quick blade replacement, while an adjustable base plate enables mitre cuts up to 45°. The tool also features a dust blowing function and a dust extraction port to keep the work area clean.

How to use

Select an appropriate saw blade for the material and insert it using the one-handed SDS system until it locks. Set the stroke rate with the integrated preselection wheel and use the trigger for variable speed control. For improved cutting speed and corner manoeuvrability, choose one of the four orbital pendulum settings. Use the transparent CutControl guide and the PowerLight to align the blade with the cutting line. Adjust the base plate angle for bevel cuts up to 45°. Activate the dust blowing function or connect a vacuum to the dust extraction port to keep the cutting line visible and the work area cleaner.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the blade type and tooth geometry to the material, clamp the workpiece securely, and allow the jigsaw to reach the set stroke rate before advancing. Use lower stroke rates for metal and higher rates for wood, and engage orbital action for faster, rougher cuts while switching it off for finer, more accurate work.
