Initial Operation, Setting - metado KS 66 Manual Original

en ENGLISH
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
Clean gummy or glue-contaminated saw
blades. Contaminated saw blades cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and
increase the risk of back-kicks.

6. Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the rating label, match with your power supply.
Australia: Always use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
6.1 Setting the splitting wedge
The splitting wedge (25) prevents the wood from
closing behind the saw disc and jamming it while the
machine is in operation. This could otherwise lead
to recoiling.
The splitting wedge must be set in such a way
that the distance between its inner curve and
the toothed ring on the saw disc is no greater than 5
mm. Set the splitting wedge so that the lowest point
of the saw disc does not protrude by more than 5
12
mm below the bottom edge of the splitting wedge.
See illustration on page 3.
To adjust, loosen the hex screw (27), set the right
distances to the saw disc and tighten the hex screw
again.
6.2 Setting the depth of cut
Loosen the locking screw (17). Lift or lower the
motor unit up against the guide plate (4). Read the
depth of cut which has been set from the scale (19).
Tighten the locking screw (17) again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw disc
juts out under the workpiece. See figure on page 2.
The clamping force of the locking screw (17) is
adjustable. To adjust it, undo the lever screw.
Take off the lever and put it on offset in counter-
clockwise direction. Fasten with the screw. Ensure
that cutting depth adjustment moves freely when
the lever is open.
6.3 Slanting the saw disc for diagonal cuts
Loosen the locking screw (6). Tilt the motor unit
against the guide plate (4). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (5). Retighten the
locking screws (6).
6.4 Correcting the saw disc angle
The saw blade angle is set ex works.
If the saw disc is not at a right angle to the guide
plate at 0°: Loosen the locking screws (6). Loosen
the lock nut (14) and correct the saw disc angle by
means of the adjusting screw (15). Finally, retighten
the lock nut. Retighten the locking 
screws (6).
6.5 Preselecting the speed (KSE 68 Plus)
Via the preselector wheel (1) preset the speed.
For recommended speeds see page 3.
6.6 Extraction connection piece / setting the
dust ejection
The connection piece (13) can be turned to the
desired position for extraction or sawdust ejection.
To do so, insert the connection piece up to the stop,
turn it and pull it back out. The connection piece can
be locked in 45° graduations.
Sawdust extraction:
connect a suitable dust extraction unit with suction
hose to the circular saw to extract the sawdust.
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off
To switch on: Push the locking button (11) in and
hold, then activate the trigger (12).
To switch off: Let go of the trigger (12).
7.2 Signal indicator (KSE 68 Plus)
The signal indicator (2) illuminates briefly upon
being switched on, signalling that it is ready to
operate. If the signal indicator illuminates during
