Fitting The Saw Blade; Care And Maintenance - Metabo DKS 10 Set Manual Original

6. Operation
6.1 Before using the tool for the first time
Prepare the compressed air connection.
Danger! Do not fit quick-lock couplings
directly to the compressed air connection. (4)
Never screw connection pieces for quick-lock
couplings directly onto the compressed air connec-
tion (4) - simply screw the hose connection (5) onto
the device and then connect the compressed air
hose to this. The compressed air hose between the
compressed air connection (4) and a quick-lock
coupling must be at least 20 cm in length. If fitted too
close to the device, a quick-lock coupling may fail:
whiplashing hoses can cause serious injury as a
result.
- Screw the enclosed hose connection (5) on the
compressed air connection (4): using an open-
end spanner, secure the compressed air connec-
tion against twisting and then screw on the hose
connection (5) with another open-end spanner.
See Page 2, Fig. A.
- Fit the enclosed double ear hose clamp onto the
compressed air hose that you want to connect.
- Push the compressed air hose onto the hose
connection as far as it will go.
- Slide the double ear hose clamp onto the hose
connection. Using a suitable pliers, pinch the two
ears together (see Page 2, Fig. B).
6.2

Fitting the saw blade

Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
- Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
- Release both clamp screws (7).
- Insert or replace the saw blade (6).
- Tighten both clamp screws (7) again.
- Check that the saw blade is securely positioned.
6.3 Setting the limit stop
- Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
- Release the clamp screw (2).
- Adjust the limit stop (1) by pushing it to the
required cutting depth.
- Tighten the clamp screw (2) again.
6.4 Using the air tool
To maximise the air tool's performance, always use
compressed air hoses with an inner diameter of at
least 10 mm and a maximum length of 10 m. Tool
performance can be significantly impaired if the
inner hose diameter is too small or if the hose is too
long.
Caution. The compressed air line must not
contain any water condensation.
Caution. To preserve and extend the service
life of this tool, you must ensure that it is regu-
larly maintained with pneumatic oil lubricator. You
can do this as follows:
– Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lu-
bricator.
– Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil
every day via the compressed air connection.
Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator
for each 15 minutes of continuous operation.
If the tool has not been in use for several days, you
should manually apply about 5 drops of pneumatic
oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.
Caution. Only allow the tool to run at idle
speed for a brief period.
1. Fit a suitable saw blade (6) (see Section 6.2).
2. Adjust the limit stop (1) (see Section 6.3).
3. Adjust the supply pressure (this is measured at
the air outlet while the air tool is switched on).
For details of the maximum permissible supply
pressure, see the section on "Technical Specifi-
cations".
4. Connect the air tool to the compressed air sup-
ply.
5. Always press the machine firmly with the limit
stop (1) against the workpiece. Switch on the
machine, and only then guide the saw blade
(6) against the workpiece.
6. To switch on: push the switch-on lock (9) in the
direction of the arrow (see Fig., Page 2) and
press switch (8).
To switch off: release switch (8)
Working instructions:
Place the saw at right angles to the workpiece and
start sawing, applying gentle pressure.
Caution. Applying too much pressure on the
saw blade during sawing can cause the saw
blade to overheat and break. Applying too little
pressure results in poor sawing performance and
also causes the saw blade to overheat.
If the saw blade jams during sawing: immediately
release switch (8). Eliminate the cause of the
jamming. Do not continue sawing until the saw
blade is entirely free again.
Danger! Do not touch the saw blade immedi-
ately following tool operation, as it can be
extremely hot and can lead to skin burns.
Danger! Do not make contact with any objects
or with the ground with the moving saw blade
(risk of recoil or of breaking the saw blade).

7. Care and Maintenance

Danger! Disconnect the compressed air con-
nection before carrying out any work.
Danger! Repair and maintenance work other
than the work described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified specialists.
- Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the
safety of the air tool.
- Check that all screw fittings are seated securely,
and tighten if necessary.
- Clean the filter in the compressed air connection
at least once a week.
- It is recommended that you install a pressure
reducer with an air-water separator and lubricator
upstream of the air tool.
