5. Check for proper operation of the brake
This circular saw features an electric brake that
functions when the switch is released. Before using
the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake
functions properly. If it does not, bring the tool to a
metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
6. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 13)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a work
bench when cutting. If a square block is utilized
as a work bench, select level ground to ensure it is
properly stabilized. An unstable work bench will result
in hazardous operation.

CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that
the portion of lumber remaining after cutting is
securely anchored or held in position.
7. Check battery insertion
WARNING
If the battery is inserted while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
CAUTION
Until the battery locks in place with a little click,
if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool
causing injury to you or someone around you.
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION
Pull out battery before doing any adjusting.
1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 14)
WARNING
If the lever is loose, injury can result. Tighten it
securely after adjustment.
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the cutting depth lever
and, while holding the base with one hand, move
the main body up and down to obtain the prescribed
cutting depth.
After adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten
the cutting depth lever securely.

2. Adjusting the angle of inclination
WARNING
If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten
it securely after adjustment.
You can incline saw blade from -5° to a maximum
angle of 45° in relation to the base.
As shown in Fig. 15 by loosening the incline lever
on the inclined gauge and incline wing-nut, the saw
blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 45° in
relation to the base.
