Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
In case of Li-Ion battery packs with capacity and
signal display (22) (equipment-specific):
- Press the button (21), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release (19) button and
remove the battery pack (23).
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (23) until it engages.
6.2 Setting cutting depth
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 figure page
2.
Adjustment in mm steps:
Press the locking button (13) and move. Read off
the set cutting depth at the read-off edge (10).
(When the guide rail "FS" is used, read off at the
"FS" read-off edge (9).)
Release the locking button (13) again.
Precise adjustment (for extremely precise cutting
depth adjustment):
The cutting depth can be set extremely precisely by
turning the preselection wheel (28).
Determine the exact cutting depth by measuring the
projecting saw blade or check the result by a trial
cut.
6.3 Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts
Loosen the two locking screws (5) to make the
setting. Tilt the motor section against the guide plate
(16). Read the angle which has been set from the
scale (4). Retighten both locking screws (5).
For a diagonal cut angle smaller 0° or greater 45°
(undercut):
Press the undercut button (6) in and then slant.
(During the next adjustment the undercut function is
automatically deactivated.)
6.4 Rotational speed preselection
Select the speed at the setting wheel (20). For
recommended speeds, see page 4.
6.5 Setting extraction connection piece /
dust ejection
The connection piece (27) can be rotated to the
desired position to extract or eject sawdust. To do
this, push the connection piece in up to the stop,
turn and pull out again. The connection piece can
thus be locked in 7 increments so that it cannot turn.
Sawdust extraction
To extract the sawdust, connect a suitable
extraction unit with suction hose to the connection
piece (27).
Dust bag:
Remove the connection piece (27) (push the
connection piece in up to the stop. Turn it so that it
16
is facing upwards. Remove and set to one side).
Attach the dust bag (26).
6.6 Adjusting the glass guard
Move the glass guard (29): top position for diagonal
cuts, central position for 0° cuts, bottom position
when a guide rail is used.
7. Use
7.1 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
(18) 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 (22) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (21)
and check the LED lamps (22) 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 (18).
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.
7.2 Switching on and off
When the locking button (17) is pushed
forwards, the motor section can be moved
downwards. The saw blade then emerges from the
guard. Caution, risk of injury.
Switching on: Push the locking button (17)
forwards and hold, then actuate the trigger (18).
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (18).
