blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 2.
6.4 Setting extraction nozzle
Thread the nose (25) on the front of the extraction
nozzle (6) on the housing of the saw (Fig. G).
Tighten the extraction nozzle to the saw housing
with the screw (26) provided.
Sawdust extraction
To extract the sawdust, connect a suitable
extraction unit with suction hose to the machine.
7.1 Switching on and off
Switching on: Press and hold locking button (3)
and than the trigger (2).
Switching off: Release locking button (3) and the
trigger (2).
7.2 Working Directions
Lay out the mains cable such that the cut can be
executed without obstruction.
Place the base (7) on the lumber, and align the
cutting line with the saw blade at the front scale (15).
Turn ON the trigger (2) before the saw blade
contacts the lumber.
CAUTIONS
Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material
you are going to cut. If the material to be cut is
expected to generate harmful / toxic dusts, make
sure the dust bag or appropriate dust extraction
system is connected with dust outlet tightly. Wear
the dust mask additionally.
When finished with a job, pull out the plug from the
receptacle.
Do not switch the machine on or off while the
saw blade is touching the workpiece.
Let the saw blade reach its full speed before
making a cut.
When the hand-held circular saw is added, the
lower guard is swung backwards by the workpiece.
When sawing, never remove the machine
from the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the machine off
immediately.
1. Changing saw blades
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do
not use saw blades that are cracked or that
have changed their shape.
Do not use any saw blades which do not
conform to the specified rating.
Use only saw blades with a diameter according to
the markings on the saw.
The saw blade must be suitable for the no-load
speed.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the
material being sawn.
Use only genuine Metabo - saw blades. Saw
blades intended for cutting wood or similar
materials have to conform to EN 847-1.
To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is
in the OFF position, and the power source is
disconnected.
Dismounting the saw blade (Fig. F)
1. Depress the lock lever (19), lock the spindle (22),
and remove the hexagonal-socket bolt (18) with the
hexagon wrench (9).
2. While holding the lower guard lever (13) to keep
the lower guard fully retracted into the saw cover,
remove the saw blade.
Mounting the Saw Blade (Fig. F)
1.Thoroughly remove any sawdust which has
accumulated on the spindle, bolt and washers.
2. As shown in Fig. E, the side of Washer (A) (21)
with a projected center the same diameter as the
inner diameter of the saw blade (11) and the
concave side of Washer (B) (20) must be fitted to
the saw blade.
3. To assure proper rotation direction of the saw
blade (11), the arrow direction on the saw blade
must coincide with the arrow direction on the saw
cover.
4. Using the fingers, tighten the hexagonal-socket
bolt (18) retaining the saw blade as much as
possible. Then depress the lock lever (19), lock the
spindle (22), and thoroughly tighten the hexagonal-
socket bolt (18).
After having attached the saw blade, reconfi
rm that the lock lever is firmly secured in the
prescribed position.
5. Inspecting the saw blade Since use of a dull saw
blade will degrade efficiency and cause possible
motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the saw
blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
6. Inspecting the mounting screws Regularly
inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they
are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
7. Maintenance of the motor. The motor unit winding
is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due
care to ensure the winding does not become
damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
8. Inspecting the carbon brushes For your
continued safety and electrical shock protection,
carbon brush inspection and replacement on this
tool should ONLY be performed by a Metabo
authorized service center.
9. Adjusting the base (7) and saw blade (11) to
maintain perpendicularity.
The angle between the base and the saw blade has
been adjusted to 90°, however should this
