Note: The clamping power of the locking screw (19)
can be adjusted. Unscrew the screw on the lever to
do this. Remove lever and mount offset
anticlockwise. Secure with screw. Ensure that
cutting depth adjustment moves freely when the
lever is open.
6.3 Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts
Loosen the locking screws (9). Tilt the motor section
against the guide plate (16). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (7). Tighten the locking
screws (9) again.
For a diagonal cut angle of 48°, push down the
undercut limit stop (6).
6.4 Correcting the saw disc angle
If, at 0°, the saw blade is not at right angles to the
guide plate: use the adjustment screw (15) to
correct the saw blade angle.
6.5 Setting extraction nozzle / chip ejection
The nozzle (1) can be rotated to the desired position
to extract or eject chips. To do this, push the nozzle
in up to the stop, turn and pull out again. The nozzle
can be locked in 45° increments so that it cannot
turn.
Sawdust extraction
To extract the sawdust, connect a suitable
extraction unit with suction hose to the machine.
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off
Switching on: Push the locking button (4) forwards
and hold, then actuate the trigger (3).
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (3).
7.2 Working Directions
Lay out the mains cable such that the cut can be
executed without obstruction.
The marking (10) on the upper guide plate assists
you in positioning the saw on the workpiece and
when sawing. In the case of maximum cutting
depth, it marks approximately the outside diameter
of the saw blade and thus the cutting edge.
Do not switch the machine on or off while the
saw blade is touching the workpiece.
Let the saw blade reach its full speed before
making a cut.
When the hand-held circular saw is added, the
movable guard is swung backwards by the
workpiece.
When sawing, never remove the machine
from the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the machine off
immediately.
Sawing along a straight line: the cutting indicator
is used here (11). The left notch (marked 0°)
indicates the direction of the cut if the saw blade is
held vertically. The right notch (marked 45°)
indicates the direction of the cut if the saw blade is
held at 45°.
Sawing along a rail secured on the workpiece:
In order to achieve an exact cutting edge, you can
attach a rail to the workpiece and then guide the
hand-held circular saw along this rail by means of
the guide plate (16).
Sawing with parallel guide:
For cuts parallel to a straight edge.
The double parallel stop (12) can be inserted from
either side into the support provided for it. Maintain
parallelism to the saw blade when making the
setting. Retighten the front and then the rear
locking screw (8). It is best to calculate the exact cut
width by making a test cut.
For cuts parallel to a straight workpiece edge: Apply
the parallel stop (12) such that the stop rail is facing
down.
For cuts parallel to a straight edge on the
workpiece: Apply the parallel stop (12) such that the
stop rail is facing up.
Sawing with guide rail:
For dead straight, tear-free cutting edges with
millimetre precision. The anti-slip coating keeps the
surface safe and protects the workpiece against
scratches.
Saws with mitre rail system:
The machine is prepared for accommodation by the
Metabo mitre rail system. This permits particularly
comfortable mitre cuts of different angles.
8. Maintenance
Changing saw blades
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Press in the spindle locking button (29) and hold in
place. Turn the saw spindle slowly with the spanner
(17) in the saw blade fixing screw (23) until the lock
catches.
Unscrew the saw blade fixing screw (23) gin a
clockwise direction and remove the outer saw blade
flange (24).
Pull back the movable safety guard (28) using the
lever (26) and remove the saw blade (25).
The contact areas between the inner saw blade
flange (27), the saw blade (25), the outer saw blade
flange (24) and the saw blade fixing screw (23) must
be clean.
Ensure that the inner saw blade flange (27) is
inserted in the right way: The inner saw blade
flange (27) has 2 sides, diameter 30 mm and 5/8"
(15.88 mm). Ensure a precise fit of saw blade
mounting hole to the inner saw blade flange (27)!
Incorrectly installed saw blades do not run smoothly
and lead to loss of control.
Insert a new saw blade, Make sure the direction of
rotation is correct. The direction of rotation is
indicated by arrows on the saw blade and guard.
Put on the outer saw blade flange (24).
