4. Set the desired table width and lock the table
width extensions with the locking lever (16).
5. To support particularly long workpieces, the
two side table width extensions (15) can be
removed and connected together (see Fig. B),
in order to place them anywhere within the
room. After use, always re-attach to the
machine.
Note:
To remove the table width extension (see Fig. B):
Pull out to the stop so that the knob (35) can be
pushed in through the opening on the back side
(for instance with the Allen wrench). Pull the table
width extension all the way out.
Only for KGS... 305: If needed, pull out stand
bracket
1. Undo the 2 socket screws with which the
stand bracket (4) is fixed to the underside.
2. Pull out the stand bracket (4) as far as it goes
and fix by tightening the 2 socket screws.
Caution!
Do not transport the saw at the stand bracket (4).
Installation
The device has to be mounted on a stable
support for safe working.
– The support can be either a suitable mitre saw
base frame, a firmly mounted work top or work
bench.
– Even when machining larger workpieces the
device has to have a secure stand.
– Long workpieces must get additional support
with suitable accessories.
Note:
For mobile use, the device can also be fixed to a
plywood or coreboard panel (500 mm x 500 mm,
at least 19 mm thick) using screws. During use,
the panel has to be fixed to a work bench using
screw clamps.
1. Fix device to the support using screws.
2. Loosen transport lock (24): Push saw head
slightly downwards and hold. Pull out transport
lock (24).
3. Swivel saw head slightly upwards.
Transport
1. Swivel saw head downwards and push in
transport lock (24).
2. Only for KGS.: Lock the pulling device in the
front position using the set screw (12).
3. Optimally, swivel the turntable (8) 45° to the
right.
Caution!
Do not hold the saw at the protective installations
during transport. Do not transport the saw at the
stand bracket (4).
4. Lift and carry the device using the carrying
handles (20) (equipment-dependent).
Alternative option: push both table width
extensions (15) all the way in and lock using the
locking lever (16). Lift the machine on both table
width extensions (15) and carry it.
7. Machine Details
7.1 On/Off switch motor
Switching on the motor:
1. Press in and hold the safety locking lever (26)
(right or left).
2. Press and hold the on/off switch (27).
3. Release the safety locking mechanism (26).
Switching off the motor:
• Release on/off switch (27).
7.2 Cutting line display
In the "Precision Cut Line System" (PCL), an LED
placed above the saw blade throws an exact
shadow of the saw blade on the workpiece. This
means calibration is not required.
1. Activate PCL by pressing the button (28).
16
2. Lower the saw blade to just a few centimetres
over the workpiece, in order to create an exact
cutting line.
3. Align the workpiece to the cutting line display.
In cordless devices, the light is activated by
briefly pressing the On/Off switch (27). After short
break, the light goes off (sleep mode) and is
automatically reactivated when resuming work. If
the light is not needed, it can be deactivated
using the switch (28) to save battery power.
Danger!
Do not direct the light beam into the eyes of
people or animals.
7.3 Setting the angle of inclination
After loosening the locking lever (22), the saw
can be infinitely inclined between 0° and 45° to
the left of the vertical position (38).
Press the locking button (23) during the
adjustment process in order to also set angles up
to 47° to the left of the vertical/ up to 2° to the right
of the vertical.
Only for KGS...305... The saw can also be
adjusted to the right of vertical: release the
locking lever (22) AND pull the knob (39)
forward. The saw can now be tilted to any
position between 0° and 45° to the right of
vertical (38). Press the locking button (23)
during the adjustment process in order to also
set angles up to 47° to the right of the vertical.
Danger!
In order for the angle of inclination not to change
when cutting, the locking lever (22) of the swivel
arm has to be tightened.
Only for KGS...305..., KS 216 M: You can adapt
the position of the locking lever according to your
requirements: pull out locking lever, turn and push
in the desired position and let engage.
7.4 Turntable
Only for KGS...: For mitre cuts, the turntable (8)
can be turned to the desired angle after releasing
the locking button (10) and pressing the pawl
(11). In this manner the cutting angle to the
support edge of the workpiece is adjusted.
Only for KS...: For mitre cuts, the turntable can be
turned to the desired angle after releasing the
locking button (10). In this manner the cutting
angle to the support edge of the workpiece is
adjusted.
Danger!
In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking handle (10) of the turntable
has to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
7.5 Only for KGS...: Pulling device
Using the pulling device, also larger workpieces
with greater cross sections can be cut. The
pulling device can be used for all types of cuts
(straight cuts, mitre cuts, slanted cuts and double
mitre cuts, and cutting of grooves).
If the pulling device is not required, lock the
pulling device in the rear position using the set
screw (12).
7.6 Only for KGS...: Cutting depth
limitation
Together with the pulling device the cutting depth
limitation (48) permits the cutting of grooves.
Turn the set screw and fix with the counter nut.
The cutting depth limitation can be deactivated, if
the parallel guide (49) is pushed towards the rear.
8. Initial Operation
8.1 Connect chip sack / chip and dust
extraction unit
(19)
Danger!
Some types of wood dust (e.g. beech, oak, ash)
may cause cancer when inhaled.
– Only use a suitable dust extraction unit or
installed dust sack.
– In addition, use a dust mask, as not all saw dust
is collected or extracted.
– Regularly empty the dust sack. Wear a dust
mask while emptying the sack.
If you operate the device with the supplied dust
sack:
• Attach the dust sack (2) to the chip extraction
adapter nozzle (3). Ensure that the closure (1)
of the dust sack is closed.
If you connect the device to a dust extraction unit:
• Use a suitable adapter to connect it to the chip
extraction adapter nozzle (see chapter 12.
"Accessories").
• Ensure that the dust extraction unit meets the
requirements stated in chapter 16. "Technical
Specifications".
• Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
8.2 Installing the workpiece clamping
device
The workpiece clamping device (14) can be
installed in two positions:
– For wide workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
rear drilling (36) of the table.
– For narrow workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
front drilling (37) of the table.
8.3 For mains powered machines only
Danger! High voltage
Operate machine only on a power source meeting
the following requirements (see also chapter 16.
"Technical Specifications"):
– Mains voltage and system frequency must
conform to the voltage and frequency shown on
the machine´s rating label;
– fuse protection by a residual current operated
device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity;
– outlets properly installed, earthed or grounded,
and tested.
• Make sure the power supply cable is out of the
way, so that it does not interfere with the work
and does not pose a tripping hazard or will get
damaged.
• Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables with
sufficient lead cross-section (3 × 1.5 mm
• Use extension cables for outdoor areas. When
working outdoors, only use the correspondingly
marked extension cable approved for this
purpose.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the on/off
switch is switched off when inserting the plug in
the socket.
8.4 For cordless machines only
• Avoid accidental start-up. Before fitting the
battery pack, make sure that the machine is
switched off.
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (32) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Battery packs have a capacity and signal display
(31) (depends on design variant):
- Press the button (30), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost empty and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal: press the battery pack release button
(29) and pull the battery pack (32) forwards.
To insert: Slide the battery pack (32) in until it
engages.
9. Operation
• Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order.
