MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING
Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the 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.
CAUTION
If a dull saw blade is used, reactive force is
increased during cutting operation. Avoid the
use of the dull saw blade without repair.
2. Check the Screws
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. Check for Dust
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.
5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected
on the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
6. Lubrication
The bearings in this tool have been suffi ciently
lubricated with quality lubricating oil, taking into
account the expected life of this tool under normal
operating conditions. As a result, no further
lubrication is necessary.
7. Disposal of the exhausted battery
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The
battery must explode if it is incinerated. 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.
8. Storage
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.
9. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing
or replacement of parts because of wear from normal
use. To assure that only authorized replacement
parts will be used, all service and repairs must
be performed by a metabo HPT AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools,
the safety regulations and standards prescribed
in each country must be observed.
