safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Special Product Features

• Metabo S-automatic safety clutch:
If the tool jams or catches, the power supply to
the motor is restricted. Due to the strong force
which can arise, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
• Mechanical safety brake for stopping saw blade
quickly when switching off the machine (KSE 68
Plus only).
• Hard-wearing guide plate made from lightweight
cast magnesium
• Vibration-damping, non-slip rubber coating in
grip area.
• Double-guided parallel stop, can be used on the
left and right for greater flexibility
• Lock preventing inadvertent machine start-up
• Lubricating system extends the service life of the
gearbox
• Vario Tacho Constamatic (VTC) full-wave
electronics for stepless speed adjustment. The
machine speed stays constant automatically
under load (only KSE 68 Plus)
• Setting wheel for speed preselection (only KSE
68 Plus)
• Electronic function monitoring the coil
temperature protects against overload. Light
signal when the machine begins to overload (only
KSE 68 Plus)
• External dust extraction possible: option of
connecting an extraction unit
• Carbon brushes for protecting the motor
• Guide rail available as an accessory (order no.
6.31213)
• Tool-less fine machine adjustment when used on
guide rail 6.31213

7. Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in, check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as
specified on the rating label, match your power
supply.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Always install an RCD with a max. trip current
of 30 mA upstream.
7.1

Setting splitting wedge

The splitting wedge (16) prevents the wood from
closing behind the saw blade 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 blade is no greater than
5 mm. Set the splitting wedge so that the lowest
point of the saw blade does not protrude by more
than 5 mm below the bottom edge of the splitting
wedge. See illustration on page 2.
