Always keep sufficient distance to the saw blade. Use suitable feeding aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient distance to driven components when operating the power tool. Wait for the saw blade to come to a complete stop before removing cut- offs, scrap, etc. from the work area. Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing the workpiece against its side. Ensure the tool is disconnected from power before servicing. Ensure that when switching on (e.g. after servicing) no tools or loose parts are left on or in the tool.

2. Please Read First!

Turn power off if the tool is not used. Cutting hazard, even with the cutting tool at standstill! Wear gloves when changing cutting tools. Store saw blade in such manner that nobody will get hurt. Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by the saw blade and thrown against the operator): Always work with a properly set riv- ing knife. The riving knife and the saw blade used must match: the riving knife should be thinner than the kerf, but thicker than the saw blade body. Do not jam workpieces. Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the workpiece material. Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine-toothed saw blades. Always use sharp saw blades. If in doubt, check workpiece for in- clusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Cut only stock of dimensions that al- low for safe and secure holding while cutting. Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled. Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc. from the work area – when doing so the saw blade must be at a complete standstill. Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Ensure that no parts of the body or clothing can be caught and drawn in by rotating components (no neck- ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting clothes; contain long hair with hair- net). Never attempt to cut any workpieces which contain –ropes, –strings, –cords, – cables or – wires, or to which any of the above are attached. Hazard generated by insuffi- cient personal protection gear! Wear hearing protection. Wear protective goggles. Wear dust mask. Wear suitable work clothes. When working outdoors wearing of non-slip shoes is recommended. Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough workpieces. Car- ry saw blades in a container. Risk of injury by inhaled wood dust! Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Work only with a suit- able dust collector attached to the saw. The dust collector must comply with the data stated in the technical specifications. Ensure that as little as possible wood dust will get into the environ- ment: – remove wood dust deposit in the work area (do not blow away!); – fix any leakages on the dust col- lector; – ensure good ventilation. Hazard generated by modifica- tion of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer! Assemble tool in strict accordance with these instructions. Use only parts approved by the equipment manufacturer. This ap- plies especially for: – saw blades (for order numbers, refer to Available Accessories); – safety devices (for order num- bers, see spare parts list spare parts list). Do not change any parts. Hazard generated by tool de- fects! Keep tool and accessories in good repair. Observe the maintenance in- structions. Before every use check tool for pos- sible damage: before operating the tool all safety devices, protective guards or slightly damaged parts need to be checked for proper func- tion as specified. Check to see that all moving parts work properly and do not jam. All parts must be cor- rectly installed and meet all condi- tions necessary for the proper oper- ation of the tool. Damaged protection devices or parts must be repaired or replaced by a qualified specialist. Have dam- aged switches replaced by a service centre. Do not operate tool if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF. Keep handles free of oil and grease. Risk of injury by noise! Wear hearing protection. Make sure the riving knife is not bent. A bent riving knife will push the workpiece against the side of the saw blade, causing noise. Danger from blocking work- pieces or workpiece parts! If blockage occurs:

5. Initial Operation

Note: Check with your local Electricity Board or electrician if in doubt whether your house service connec- tion meets these requirements. Position power supply cable so it does not interfere with the work and is not damaged. Protect power supply cable from heat, aggressive liquids and sharp edges. Use only rubber-jacketed exten- sion cables with sufficient lead cross-section (see “Technical Specifications”). When working out of doors, only use extension cables that are also approved for outdoors. Do not pull on power supply ca- ble to unplug. Avoid accidental start-up: en- sure that the on/off switch is switched off when inserting the plug in the socket. Risk of injury! This saw may only be operated by one person at a time. Other persons shall stay only at a distance to the saw for the purpose of feeding or re- moving stock. Before starting work, check to see that the following are in proper working order: – power cable and plug – ON/OFF switch – riving knife – blade guard – feeding aids (push stick, push block and handle). Use personal protection gear: –dust respirator; – hearing protection; –safety goggles. Assume proper operating position: – at the front of the saw; – in front of the saw; – to the left of the line of cut; – when working with two persons, the other person must remain at an adequate distance to the saw. If the type of work requires, use the following: – suitable workpiece supports – if otherwise workpiece would fall off the table after cutting; –dust collector. Avoid typical operator mistakes: – Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing the workpiece against its side. Risk of kickback. – Always hold the workpiece down on the table and do not jam it. Risk of kickback. – Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bun- dles containing several individu- al pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled. Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Never cut stock to which ropes, cords, strings, cables or wires are attached or which contain such ma- terials.

6.1 Dust collector / universal

vacuum cleaner Danger! Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Use suitable dust col- lector when working in enclosed spaces. The dust collector must meet the following requirements: – fits the diameter of the dust ex- traction ports (blade guard 38 mm; chip case 35/44 mm); – air flow volume 460 m

/h; – vacuum at dust extraction port of saw 530 Pa; – air speed at dust extraction port of saw 20 m/ s. The dust extraction ports are located at the chip case assembly and at the saw blade guard. Observe the dust collector's operating instructions as well! Operation without a dust collector is only possible out of doors.

6.2 Setting the depth of cut

Danger! Parts of the body or objects in the setting range can be caught by the running saw blade! Set depth of cut only with saw blade at standstill! The saw blade's cutting depth needs to be adapted to the workpiece height: the blade guard shall rest with its front edge on the workpiece. Adjust depth of cut by turning the handwheel (47) as required. Note: To compensate for possible play in the blade height setting mecha- nism, always raise the blade to the desired position.

6.3 Setting the saw blade tilt

Danger! Parts of the body or objects in the setting range can be caught by the running saw blade! Set the depth of cut only with the saw blade at stand- still!! The blade bevel angle can be adjusted between -1.5° and 46.5°.

2. Set required saw blade tilt.

3. Lock the set bevel tilt by tightening

the lock lever (48). Handwheel for cutting depth adjustment The depth of cut can be adjusted by turning the handwheel (49). Lock lever for bevel angle adjust- ment By releasing the lock lever (50), the saw blade can be adjusted between -1.5° and 46.5°. To keep the set bevel angle from chang- ing during cutting, it must be locked again by the lock lever (50). Release lever for bevel tilt stop The blade tilt setting has end stops at 0° and 45°. For special bevel cuts (under- cutting) the bevel angle can be in- creased by 1.5° in both directions. Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (51) and place over the right-hand cam plate = bevel angle of saw blade adjustable between –1.5° and 45°. Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (51) and place over the left-hand cam plate = bevel angle of saw blade adjustable between 0° and 46.5°. On/off switch To stop = press upper switch (52). To start = press and hold lower switch (53) for 1 - 2 seconds.

6.4 Adjusting rip fence

For use as rip fence the long fence ex- trusion (54) must be installed. It is mounted on the guide extrusion at the front of the saw table. – Position rip fence to the right of the saw blade. The marking in the magnifying glass shows the set distance between the rip fence and the saw blade on the scale. – Release lock lever (55) of rip fence and shift rip fence until marking in magnifying glass indicates the de- sired distance to the saw blade. Press lock lever (55) downwards to lock. – For ripping, the fence extrusion (54) must be parallel with the saw blade and locked in position by the lock le- ver (55). Press lock lever down- wards to do this. – Knurled nuts (56) for attaching the fence extrusion. After loosening the two knurled nuts (56), the fence ex- trusion can be removed and shifted: Small edge: – for cutting thin stock; – when the saw blade is tilted.

Saw Cleaning Remove chips and saw dust with vacuum cleaner or brush: – from saw blade setting guide ele- ments; – from motor vent slots; –chip case. –Height adjustment – Swivel guide Before switching ON Visual check to see if – distance between saw blade and riv- ing knife is 3 to 5 mm. – riving knife is in line with saw blade. Visual check of power cable and power cable plug for damage; if necessary have damaged parts replaced by a qualified electrician.

Every time the machine is switched off Check whether the saw blade overrun exceeds 10 seconds; if the overrun is longer than this, have the motor re- placed by a qualified electrician. Monthly (if used daily) Remove saw dust and chips with vacu- um or brush; apply light coat of oil to guide elements: – threaded rod and guide rods of blade rise and fall mechanism: –swivel segments. Every 150 hours of operation Check all screwed joints, retighten if necessary. If necessary: Set table leg guide bushings. Turn Allen screws (73a) clockwise = guide sluggish. Turn Allen screws (73a) counter- clockwise = guide moves easily. Further fine adjustment by means of a setscrew (73b). Setting guide bushings on front leg mount: Turn Allen screws (74) clockwise = guide sluggish. Turn Allen screws (74) counter- clockwise = guide moves easily. Setting guide bushings on rear leg mount: Turn Allen screws (75) clockwise = guide sluggish. Turn Allen screws (75) counter- clockwise = guide moves easily. Tighten all Allen screws diagonally and evenly. Before cutting a workpiece to size make trial cuts on pieces of scrap. Always place a workpiece on the saw table in such way that it cannot tilt or rock (e.g. always place a curved board on the table with the convex side up). To simplify repetitive cut-off work use a stock stop. Keep surface of table clean. Use only genuine Metabo accessories. Use only accessories that fulfil the re- quirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions. For a complete range of accessories, see www.metabo.com or the catalogue. Danger!
