binding and

kickback.

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking

levers must be tight and secure before making

cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may

cause binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when making a "plunge

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause

kickback.

4.1 Lower guard function

a) Do not operate the saw if lower safety guard

does not move freely and close instantly. Never

clamp or tie the bottom safety guard in an

opened position. If the saw is accidentally

dropped, lower safety guard may be bent. Raise the

lower safety guard with the retracting handle (10)

(fitted depending on the model) and make sure it

moves freely and does not touch the blade or any

other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower safety

guard spring. If the safety guard and the spring

are not operating properly, they must be

serviced before use. Lower safety guard may

operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy

deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Open the lower safety guard by hand only

when making special cuts, such as plunge cuts

and angle cuts. Raise lower safety guard by

retracting handle (10) (fitted depending on the

model) and as soon as blade enters the

material, the lower guard must be released. For

all other sawing, the lower safety guard must be

released.

d) Always observe that the lower safety guard

is covering the blade before placing saw down

on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade

will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting

whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes

for the blade to stop after switch is released.

4.2 Additional Safety Instructions

Additional safety instructions for all saws with riving

knife:

a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade

being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be

thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than

the tooth set of the blade.

b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this

instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning

and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective

in preventing kickback.

c) Always use the riving knife except when

plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after

plunce cutting. Riving knife causes interference

during plunge cutting and can create kickback.

d) For the riving knife to work, it must be

engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife must

be replaced after plunge cutting. Riving knife

causes interference during plunge cutting and can

create kickback.

e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.

Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of

a guard.

Do not use grinding wheels.

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any

adjustments or servicing are performed.

Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove

chips and similar material only with the machine at

standstill.

Wear ear protectors.

Wear protective goggles.

Press the spindle locking button only when the

motor is at a standstill.

Do not reduce the speed of the saw blade by

pressing on the sides.

The movable safety guard must not be clamped in

the pulled-back position for sawing.

The movable safety guard must move freely,

automatically, easily and exactly back into its end

position.

When sawing materials that generate large

quantities of dust, the machine must be cleaned

regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g.

the movable safety guard, are in perfect working

order.

Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may

be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be

processed.

Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When

working, always make sure that no nails or other

similar materials are being sawed into.

If the saw blade blocks, turn the motor off

immediately.

Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.

During machining, the workpiece must be firmly

supported and secured against moving.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead,

some wood species, minerals and metal may be

harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may

cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases

to the operator or bystanders.

Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic

such as oak and beech dust especially in

conjunction with additives for wood conditioning

(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing

asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

- Where the use of a dust extraction device is

possible it shall be used.

- To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a

suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together with this

tool.

- The work place must be well ventilated.

- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is

recommended.

Follow national requirements for the materials you

want to work with.
