Personal Safety - Metabo KGT 305 M Manual De Instrucciones

2. Unhook transport lock (19).
3. Loosen transport lock (18): Press saw head
and saw handle (9) down slightly and hold.
Pull out transport lock (18).
4. Swivel saw head slightly upwards.
5. If the saw head is raised, remove the side
place (12) and place to one side.
 Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order.
 Before working, check that the upper part of the
blade is fully enclosed or covered.
 Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw;
– in front of the saw;
– next to the line of cut.
Danger!
Always fasten the workpiece with the workpiece
clamping device (22). It is held safer by these
devices than by your hand.
Danger of crushing!
When inclining or swivelling the saw head, never
reach into the hinge area or below the device!
 Hold the saw head during inclination.
 Use during work:
– Workpiece support – for long workpieces if it
would fall from the table after cutting.
– Dust sack or dust extraction unit.
– Personal safety equipment
 Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for
safe and secure holding while cutting.
 Always hold the workpiece down on the table
and do not jam it. Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
Risk of personal injury if the saw blade is
blocked.
9.3 Straight cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (18) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking handle (32)
for turntable is tightened (see chapter 7.5).
– The inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is
0°, locking lever (39) for inclined position is
tightened see chapter 7.4).
– Adjust and lock the adjustable guide (23) (see
chapter 7.6).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Push the workpiece against the parallel guide
(27) and clamp using the workpiece clamping
device (22).
2. Press on button (11).
3. Activate the safety lock (8).
4. Slowly lower the saw head on the saw handle
(9) all the way down. During the sawing
process press on the workpiece just enough
for the motor speed not to lower too much.
5. Cut the workpiece in one operation.
6. Slowly return the saw head to the upper
starting position.
7. Press off button (10).
9.4 Mitre cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (18) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– The inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is
0°, locking lever (39) for inclined position is
tightened see chapter 7.4).
– Adjust and lock the adjustable guide (23) (see
chapter 7.6).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Loosen locking handle (32) of the turntable
and loosen safety catch (31).
2. Set the desired angle (see chapter 7.5).
3. Tighten the locking handle (32) of the
turntable.
4. Cut workpiece, as described for "Straight
cuts".
9.5 Inclined cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (18) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking handle (32)
for turntable is tightened (see chapter 7.5).
– Adjust and lock the adjustable guide (23) (see
chapter 7.6).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Loosen the locking lever (39) for the
inclination setting at the rear side of the saw.
2. Slowly turn the swivel arm into the desired
position (see chapter 7.4).
3. Tighten the locking lever (39) for the
inclination setting.
4. Cut the workpiece, as described in "Straight
cuts".
9.6 Double mitre cuts
Note:
The double mitre cut is a combination of mitre cut
and inclined cut. This means, the workpiece is cut
at an angle to the rear contact edge and at an
angle to the top.
Danger!
With a double mitre cut, the saw blade is easier
accessible due to the steep inclination – this
results in a higher risk of injury. Always keep
sufficient distance to the saw blade!
Starting position:
– Transport lock (18) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Lock the turn table in the desired position. (see
chapter 7.5).
– Swivel arm inclined at desired angle to the
workpiece surface and locked. (see
chapter 7.4).
– Adjust and lock the adjustable guide (23) (see
chapter 7.6).
Cutting the workpiece:
 Cut the workpiece, as described in "Straight
cuts".
10. Operation / Use as table saw
10.1 Safety devices
Blade guard
The blade guard (6) protects against inadvertent
touching of the blade and against flying shavings.
Always have blade guard installed during
operation.
Splitting wedge
The splitting wedge (5) prevents a workpiece
from being caught by the rising teeth and being
thrown against the operator.
Always have the splitting wedge installed during
operation.
Side protection
The side protection (12) protects against
inadvertent contact with the blade.
The side protection must always be fitted
correctly during use. Only then can the table saw
be used.
Push stick
The push stick (41) serves as an extension of the
hand and protects against inadvertent contact
with the blade.
Always use push stick if distance between saw
blade and ripping fence is less than 120 mm.
The push stick must be held at angle of 20° ... 30°
to the surface of the saw table.
Replace push stick if damaged.
Fasten the push stick in its holder (42) when not
in use.
10.2 Setting up
Danger!
Before setting up the device: Switch off device,
unplug, wait until the device has come to a stop.
1. Rotate turntable to the 0° position, tighten the
locking handle (22) for turntable (see chapter
7.5).
2. Set angle of the swivel arm to the vertical at 0°,
tighten locking lever (39) for angle adjustment
(see chapter 7.4).
3. If the saw head is raised, place the side
protection (12) from the left on the table insert
(33) and push down. Check it fits firmly.
4. Press safety lock (8) and lower the saw head
on the saw handle (9) all the way down
5. Hook transport lock (19).
6. Push transport lock (18) all the way in.
Danger of crushing!
When adjusting the height of the upper table (13),
do not hold the area between the upper table and
saw head!
Danger!
When loosening the locking screws (15) the
upper table (13) may suddenly move up. Hold the
upper table tight with one hand.
7. Loosen both locking screws (15). The upper
table (13) is pushed up by spring force.
Danger!
Body parts or objects in the adjustment area can
get 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's height: the blade
guard shall rest with its front edge on the
workpiece.
8. Adjust the cutting depth by pressing the upper
table down. Retighten both locking screws
(15) firmly.
9. Ensure that the upper table is securely
fastened with locking screws (15).
 Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order:
– Splitting wedge
– Side protection;
– Blade guard
– Feed aids (push stick or push rod and handle).
 Ensure the machine's stand is stable.
 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.
 Use during work:
– Workpiece support – for long workpieces if it
would fall from the table after cutting.
– Dust sack or dust extraction unit.
– Personal safety equipment
 Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for
safe and secure holding while cutting.
 Always hold the workpiece down on the table
and do not jam it. Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
Risk of personal injury if the saw blade is
blocked.
10.3 Sawing
Danger!
Always use push stick if distance between saw
blade and rip fence is less than 120 mm.
1. Set depth of cut. The blade guard must rest
with its front edge on the workpiece.
