Most accidents that result from power tool operation and maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Basic safety precautions are outlined in the “SAFETY” section of this Instruction Manual and in the sections which contain the operation and maintenance instructions. Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identifi ed by WARNINGS on the power tool and in this Instruction Manual. NEVER use this power tool in a manner that has not been specifi cally recommended by metabo HPT.

MEANINGS OF SIGNAL WORDS

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if ignored, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or may cause machine damage. NOTE emphasizes essential information. SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

English 000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb2000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb2 2018/11/0110:38:192018/11/0110:38:193) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aff ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fi re. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the Table 4, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged. Table 4 Recharging ranges of batteries Rechargeable batteries Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged BSL1430, BSL1830,

4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord. Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.

Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger. Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc. As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times. How to make the batteries perform longer (1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter. (2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. CAUTION

When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

<For UC18YRSL and UC18YFSL> If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp may light in green. The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

<For UC18YGSL> If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

When the pilot lamp fl ikers rapidly in red (at 0.2–second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center. BEFORE USE Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter. Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate. OPERATION

If the blade doesn’t fall out, pull it out by hand. CAUTION Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.

WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN

Even when the saw blade is broken and remains inside the small slit of the plunger, it should fall out if you push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark, and face the blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself, take it out using the procedures explained below. (1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of the small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding part and take the blade out. (2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade and take it out. (Fig. 12)

4. Confi rm that the battery is mounted correctly.

MOUNT (1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture, etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc., to ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly. (2) As shown in Fig. 13, carry out lubrication around the blade holder on a periodic basis by use of cutting fl uid, etc. Blade holder Lever Machine oil Fig. 13 NOTE Continued use of the tool without cleaning and lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed can result in some slack movement of the lever due to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown in Fig. 14 and remove the rubber cap from the lever. Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with air and the like and carry out suffi cient lubrication. The rubber cap can be fi tted on if it is pressed fi rmly onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there exists no clearance between the blade holder and the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the saw- blade-installed area can function smoothly.

Avoid carrying it with your fi nger on the switch. A sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.

Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter the inside of the machine through the plunger section during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in the plunger section, always clean it before use.

Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 6). Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover.

During use, press the base against the material while cutting. Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is not pressed fi rmly against the workpiece. Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the saw blade.

Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length. Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw blade after subtracting the stroke should be larger than the material (see Fig. 18 and Fig. 20). If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc., that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage. (Fig. 19, Fig. 21)

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection function to stop the output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble but the result of protection function. In this case, release the switch of tool and eliminate the causes of overloading.

(Fig. 22, Fig. 23) Lock-off button Lock Fig. 22 Lock-off button Free Fig. 23 CAUTION Always lock the switch when carrying or storing the tool eliminate unintentional starting. (2) Trigger switch This tool is equipped with a variable speed controlled trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The blade plunger stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate stroke rate by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.

Press the base fi rmly against the workpiece.

Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.

The motor can be locked sometimes, depending on the combination of the material to be cut and

English 000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb15000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb15 2018/11/0110:38:202018/11/0110:38:20carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 27, Fig. 29 and Fig. 31. Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in Page 20. Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation and observe the following procedures. (1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base against the material. Pull the switch trigger while keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material. (Fig. 26, Fig. 27) (2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade little by little. (Fig. 28, Fig. 29) (3) Hold the body fi rmly until the saw blade completely cuts into the material. (Fig. 30, Fig. 31) Fig. 26 Fig. 27 Fig. 28 Fig. 29 Fig. 30 Fig. 31 CAUTION

Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.

Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade is pressed against the material. If you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the material.

Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding the body fi rmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged. the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it off immediately. (1) Fasten a workpiece fi rmly before operation. (Fig. 24) Fig. 24 (2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil, apply grease over the workpiece. CAUTION The service life of the saw blade will be drastically shortened if you don’t use machine oil.

When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is fastened fi rmly before beginning. (Fig. 25) Fig. 25 CAUTION Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Also remember to press the base against the lumber fi rmly.

4. Sawing curved lines

We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade mentioned in Page 20 for the saw blade since it is tough and hardly breaks. CAUTION Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.

With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on plywood panels and thin board materials. You can

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION: Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.

1. Inspecting the blade

Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.

Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them and make sure they are tight. CAUTION Using this power tool with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart”’ of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 33)

The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within brush holders. Wear limit 0.45" (11.5 mm) 0.12" (3 mm) Fig. 33 NOTE When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be sure to use the metabo HPT Carbon Brush Code No.

5. Replacing carbon brushes

Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a slotted-head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 34, Fig. 35. When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so that the nail of the carbon brush (Fig. 34) agrees with the contact portion outside the brush tube (Fig. 36). Then push it in with a fi nger. Lastly, install the brush cap.

English 000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb17000BookCR14DSLmetabo.indb17 2018/11/0110:38:202018/11/0110:38:20Nail of carbon brush Protrusion of carbon brush Fig. 34 Fig. 35 Contact portion outside brush tube Fig. 36 CAUTION Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails provided.) Caution must be exercised since any error in this operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.

Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth dampened with soapy water. Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for they may damage the plastics.

7. Disposal of the exhausted battery

WARNING Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery must explode if it is incinerated. The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of it’s useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste offi cials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the reach of children. NOTE Storing lithium-ion batteries Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them. Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge. However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to fi ve times. If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.
