6 Special Product Features

Metabo Sautomatic safety clutch:
If the insertion tool jams or hooks, the power flow
to the engine will be restricted. Because of the high
power which then arises, always hold the machine
with both hands on the handles, stand safely, and
concentrate on your work.
Saw disc brake (KSE 68 Plus):
For your safety the saw disc is braked when the
machine is switched off.
Signal indicator (KSE 68 Plus):
Electronic monitoring of the coil temperature.
A signal lamp warns, if there is an overload.

7 Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in check to see that the
rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as
stated on the rating label, match with your power
supply.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before
any adjustments or servicing are performed.
7.1 Setting the splitting wedge
The splitting wedge (25) prevents the wood from
closing behind the saw disc and jamming it while
the machine is in operation. This could otherwise
lead to recoiling.
The splitting wedge must be set in such a
way that the distance between its inner curve
and the toothed ring on the saw disc is no greater
than 5 mm. Set the splitting wedge so that the
lowest point of the saw disc does not protrude by
more than 5 mm below the bottom edge of the
splitting wedge. See illustration on page 2.
To adjust, loosen the hex screw (27), set the right
distances to the saw disc and tighten the hex
screw again.
7.2 Setting the depth of cut
Loosen the locking screw (17). Lift or lower the
motor unit up against the guide plate (4). Read the
depth of cut which has been set from the scale
(19). Tighten the locking screw (17) again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
disc juts out under the workpiece. See figure on
page 3.
The clamping force of the locking screw (17) is
adjustable. To adjust it, undo the lever screw.
Take off the lever and put it on offset in counter-
clockwise direction. Fasten with the screw. Ensure
that cutting depth adjustment moves freely when
the lever is open.
7.3 Slanting the saw disc for diagonal cuts
Loosen the locking screw (6). Tilt the motor unit
against the guide plate (4). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (5). Retighten the
locking screws (6).
7.4 Correcting the saw disc angle
The saw blade angle is set ex works.
If the saw disc is not at a right angle to the guide
plate at 0°: Loosen the locking screws (6). Loosen
the lock nut (14) and correct the saw disc angle by
means of the adjusting screw (15). Finally,
retighten the lock nut. Retighten the locking
screws (6).
7.5 Preselecting the speed (KSE 68 Plus)
Via the preselector wheel (1) preset the speed.
For recommended speeds see page 2.
7.6 Extraction connection piece / setting
the dust ejection
The connection piece (13) can be turned to the
desired position for extraction or sawdust ejection.
To do so, insert the connection piece up to the
stop, turn it and pull it back out. The connection
piece can be locked in 45° graduations.
Sawdust extraction:
connect a suitable dust extraction unit with suction
hose to the circular saw to extract the sawdust.
