2. Make sure the trigger switch is turned OFF.
WARNING

source with the trigger switch turned ON the
power tool will start suddenly and can cause a
serious accident.
3. Check the saw blade for visible defects.
Confirm that the saw blade is free of cracks or other
visible damage.
4. Confirm that the saw blade is attached securely to the
power tool.
Using the supplied 8 mm hex. bar wrench, tighten the
left hex. 10 mm socket bolt on the saw blade spindle
to secure the saw blade.
For details, see Fig. 48-a, Fig. 48-b, and Fig. 48-c in
the section on "SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND
DISMOUNTING".
5. Check the lower guard for proper operation.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower
guard does not function smoothly.
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade during operation of
the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly and
covers the saw blade properly.
6. Confirm the position of the spindle lock before using
the tool.
After installing the saw blade, confirm that the spindle
lock has been returned to the released position before
using the power tool (see Fig. 3).

plug fits properly in the electrical receptacle and does
not fall out after it is inserted. Repair or replace the
receptacle if it is faulty.
8. Confirm the tool's power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection
indicates that it is damaged.
9. Eye protection
WARNING
Operating the tool without wearing proper eye
protection may result in serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets
the requirements of ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection
because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass.
10. Electric brake
WARNING
Please be aware of the reaction of the Motor
Head (Fig. 2) when the brake is activated.
Braking causes the Motor Head to jerk downward
and the user should be prepared for this
reaction, especially when the trigger switch is
released before the blade is completely down.
Failure to be familiar with, and prepared for, the
operational characteristics of the tool may cause
serious injury.
AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN
APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE, CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will
typically stop the blade within 5 seconds after the trigger
switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging
which will result in a longer blade stopping time. On rare
occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the saw
blade will coast to a stop.
If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and
release the trigger switch to turn the tool on and off 4 or
5 times. If the brake still does not engage, have the tool
serviced at a metabo HPT authorized service center.
11. Trial Run
After confirming that no one is standing behind, the
power tool start and confirm that no operating
abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting
operation.
