Commissioning; Operation; Care And Maintenance - Metabo KS 216 M Lasercut Manual Original

Note:
Cordless devices: During a short break the cutting
laser goes off (sleep mode) and is automatically
reactivated when resuming work. In case of a
long break the cutting laser switches off.
Reactivation: Use switch (24).
7.4 Setting the angle of inclination
After loosening the locking lever (11), the saw
can be infinitely inclined between 0° and 45° to
the left of the vertical position (36).
Press the locking button (10) during the
adjustment process in order to also set angles up
to 47° to the left of the vertical/ up to 2° to the right
of the vertical.
Danger!
In order for the angle of inclination not to change
when cutting, the locking lever (11) of the swivel
arm has to be tightened.
7.5 Turntable
For mitre cuts the turntable can be turned by 47°
to the left or by 47° to the right after loosening the
locking handle (3). In this manner the cutting
angle to the support edge of the workpiece is
adjusted.
Danger!
In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking handle (3) of the turntable has
to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).

8. Commissioning

8.1 Connect chip sack / chip and dust
extraction unit
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech, oak,
ash) can cause cancer when inhaled.
– Only use a suitable dust extraction unit or
installed dust sack.
– In addition, use a dust mask, as not all saw dust
is collected or extracted.
– Regularly empty the dust sack. Wear a dust
mask while emptying the sack.
If you operate the device with the supplied dust
sack:
 Attach the dust sack (7) to the chip extraction
adapter nozzle (6). Ensure that the closure (8)
of the dust sack is closed.
If you connect the device to a dust extraction unit:
 Use a suitable adapter to connect it to the chip
extraction adapter nozzle (see chapter 12.
"Accessories").
 Ensure that the dust extraction unit meets the
requirements stated in chapter 16. "Technical
Specifications".
 Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
8.2 Installing the workpiece clamping
device
The workpiece clamping device (14) can be
installed in two positions:
– For wide workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
rear drilling (34) of the table.
– Fornarrow workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
front drilling (35) of the table.
8.3 For mains powered machines only
Danger! High voltage
Operate machine only on a power source meeting
the following requirements (see also chapter 16.
"Technical Specifications"):
– Mains voltage and system frequency must
conform to the voltage and frequency shown on
the machine´s rating label;
– fuse protection by a residual current operated
device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity;
– outlets properly installed, earthed or grounded,
and tested.
 Position power supply cable so it does not
interfere with the work and is not damaged.
 Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables with
sufficient lead cross-section (3 × 1.5 mm
 Use extension cables for outdoor areas. When
working outdoors, only use the correspondingly
marked extension cable approved for this
purpose.
 Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the on/off
switch is switched off when inserting the plug in
the socket.
8.4 For cordless machines only
 Avoid accidental start-up. Before fitting the
battery pack, make sure that the machine is
switched off.
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (27) before use.
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C
and 30°C.
Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power" have a capacity
and signal indicator (28):
- Press the button (29), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal: Press the battery pack release button
(30) and pull out the battery pack (27) towards the
rear.
To insert: Slide the battery pack (27) in until it
engages.

9. Operation

 Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order.
 Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw;
– in front of the saw;
– next to the line of cut.
Danger!
If possible, fix the workpiece using the workpiece
clamping device (14).
Danger of crushing!
When inclining or swivelling the saw head, never
reach into the hinge area or below the device!
 Hold the saw head during inclination.
 Use during work:
– workpiece support – for long workpieces, if
otherwise workpiece would fall off the table
after cutting;
– dust sack or dust extraction unit.
 Cut only stock of dimensions that allow for safe
and secure holding while cutting.
 Always hold the workpiece down on the table
and do not jam it. Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
Risk of personal injury if the saw blade is
blocked.
9.1 Straight cuts
Initial position:
– Transport lock (9) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking button (3) for
turntable is tightened.
– The inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is
0°, locking lever (11) for inclined position is
tightened.
Saw workpiece:
1. Push the workpiece against the parallel guide/
ripping fence and clamp using the workpiece
clamping device (14).
2. Activate the safety lock (26) ,press on/off
switch (25) and keep pressed.
3. Slowly lower the saw head all the way down at
the handle. During the sawing process press
on the workpiece just enough for the motor
speed not to lower too much.
2
). 4. Cut the workpiece in one operation.
5. Release the on/off switch (25) and slowly let
the saw head swivel back into the upper
starting position.
9.2 Mitre cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (9) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is 0°,
locking lever (11) for inclination setting is
tightened.
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Unscrew the locking button (3) of the
turntable.
2. Set the desired angle.
3. Tighten the locking button (3) of the turntable.
4. Cut workpiece, as described for "Straight
cuts".
9.3 Inclined cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (9) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking button (3) for
turntable is tightened.
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Loosen the locking lever (11) for the
inclination setting at the rear side of the saw.
2. Slowly tilt the swivel arm into the desired
position.
3. Tighten the locking lever (11) for the
inclination setting.
4. Cut the workpiece, as described for "Straight
cuts".
9.4 Double mitre cuts
Note:
The double mitre cut is a combination of mitre cut
and inclined cut. This means, the workpiece is cut
at an angle to the rear contact edgeand at an
angle to the top.
Danger!
With a double mitre cut, the saw blade is easier
accessible due to the steep inclination – this
results in a higher risk of injury. Always keep
sufficient distance to the saw blade!
Starting position:
– Transport lock (9) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Lock the turn table in the desired position.
– Swivel arm inclined at desired angle to the
workpiece surface and locked.
Cutting the workpiece:
 Cut the workpiece, as described in "Straight
cuts".

10. Care and maintenance

Danger!
Prior to all maintenance and cleaning jobs pull the
mains plug or remove the detachable battery
pack (27).
– Repair and maintenance work other than
described in this section should only be carried
out by qualified specialists.
– Replace damaged parts, in particular safety
installations, only with original parts. Parts not
