Switching On And Off - Metabo MKS 18 LTX 58 Instrucciones De Manejo

Removal:
Press the battery pack release (12) button and pull
the battery pack (11) upwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (11) until it engages.
5.2 Setting cutting depth
Loosen the locking lever (17) for adjustment. Read
the depth of cut that has been set from the scale
(14). Tighten the locking screw 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
blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 3.
5.3 Attach guide rail adapter (as needed)
Attach the adapter (6) to be able to attach the
machine to a guide rail (see Accessories section).
Insert adapter (6), as shown, into the guide plate
(13). Tighten the locking screw (7) and use it to
attach the adapter to the machine.
6. Use
6.1 The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch
(3) is released.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED (18) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (19)
and check the LED lamps (18) to see the charge
level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
The machine continues to run with reduced
performance until the temperature is back to
normal.
In case of excessive overheating, the machine
will switch off completely.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (3).
Then continue working as normal (in this case,
read in particular the safety instructions in
Chapter 4.Kickback. in addition to all other
safety instructions). Try to prevent the machine
from seizing.
6.2

Switching on and off

Switching on: Push the locking button (4) forwards
and hold, then actuate the trigger (3) .
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (3).
6.3 Working Directions
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
movable 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.
Guide the machine at a speed suitable for the
material being processed.
Sawing along a straight line: the cutting indicator
is used here (9).
Sawing along a rail secured on the workpiece:
In order to achieve an exact cutting edge, you can
attach a rail to the workpiece and then guide the
hand-held circular saw by means of the guide plate
along this rail.
Sawing with parallel guide:
For cuts parallel to a straight edge. The parallel
guide (10) can be inserted from either side into the
support provided for it. Tighten the locking screw
(7). It is best to calculate the exact cut width by
making a test cut.
Sawing with guide rail:
For dead straight, tear-free cutting edges with
millimetre precision. The anti-slip coating keeps the
surface safe and protects the workpiece against
scratches. For guide rail, see chapter on
Accessories.
Battery pack heat generation:
Under extremely hard application conditions (e.g.
sawing thick wooden planks), the heavy load can
cause the battery pack to heat (> 60 °C). To
conserve the battery pack, allow it to cool down
before continuing work.
7. Maintenance
Changing saw blades
Remove battery pack from machine.
Directly after cutting the saw blade can be very
hot – burning hazard! Let a hot saw blade cool
down.
