Replacing The Table Insert - Metabo KS 254 Plus Manual De Instrucciones

ENGLISH
1. Stop the sawhead in the upper posi-
tion.
2. To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob (73) while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
3. Unscrew arbor bolt (80) on saw
spindle with hex key (left-hand th-
read!).

4. Release safety lock (74), push re-
tractable blade guard (75) up and
hold.
5. Carefully remove outer blade flan-
ge (79) and saw blade from saw
spindle and close retractable blade
guard again.
A
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to re-
move resin residue) that could corrode
the light metal components of the saw;
the stability of the saw would be adver-
sely affected.
6. Clean clamping surfaces of:
– saw spindle,(77)
– saw blade,
26
– outer blade flange (79),
– inner blade flange (78).
A
Danger!
Fit the inner blade flange correctly!
Otherwise the saw may be blocked or
the saw blade could work loose! The in-
ner blade flange is in the correct positi-
on when the chamfered collar points to
the right and the spring ring groove
points to the left.
7. Put the inner blade flange (78) on
the saw spindle.
8. Release safety lock, push retractab-
le blade guard up and hold.
9. Mount new saw blade – observe di-
rection of rotation: viewed from the
left (open) side, the arrow on the
73
saw blade must correspond with the
direction of arrow (76) on the blade
cover!
A
Danger!
Use only saw blades conforming to
74
standards and which are designed for
the maximum speed (see 'Technical
Data') – when unsuitable or damaged
saw blades are used, parts might be
hurled away explosively by the centrifu-
gal force.
Do not use:
– saw blades made of high speed
steel (HSS);
– damaged saw blades;
76 75
– cut-off wheel blades.
A
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genu-
ine parts.
– Do not use loose-fitting reduction
rings; the saw blade could work it-
self loose.
– Saw blades have to be mounted in
such a way that they do not wobble
or run out of balance and cannot
work loose during operation.
10. Close the retractable blade guard
again.
11. Slide the outer blade flange on – the
plain side must point towards the
saw blade!
12. Insert the arbor bolt (left-hand th-
read!) and hand-tighten it.
To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
A
Danger!
– Do not extend arbor bolt spanner.
– Do not tighten arbor bolt by hitting
the assembly spanner.
13. Tighten the arbor bolt.
14. Check the function. To do this re-
lease the safety lock and swing the
crosscut saw down:
– The retractable blade guard must
open without touching the saw
blade or any other parts.
– When the saw is being returned
to its starting position the retrac-
table blade guard must return au-
tomatically so that the entire saw
blade is covered.
– Turn the saw blade by hand. The
saw blade must turn freely in all
possible sawhead positions wit-
hout touching other parts.

Replacing the table insert

A
Danger!
If the table insert is damaged there is a
risk that small parts may become stuck
between the table insert and the saw
blade, causing the saw blade to jam.
Replace damaged table inserts immedi-
ately!
1. Unscrew the screws on the table in-
sert (81). Rotate the rotary table
and tilt the sawhead if necessary to
reach the screws.
