Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. 2.5 Battery tool use and care a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 6 irritation or burns. e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause explosion. g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. 2.6 Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers. 3. Special safety instructions for circular saws Sawing procedure a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. Kickback causes and related warnings - kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator; - when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; - if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. Lower guard function a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle (24)and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the ENGLISH en blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts".Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle (24) and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. Do not use abrasive grinding discs. Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Wear ear protectors. Wear protective goggles. Press the spindle locking button only when the motor is at a standstill. Do not reduce the speed of the saw blade by pressing on the sides. The movable guard must not be clamped in the pulled-back position for sawing. The movable guard must move freely, automatically, easily and exactly back into its end position. Clean the machine regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g. the movable guard, are in perfect working order. If the saw blade blocks, turn the motor off immediately. Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces. During machining, the workpiece must be firmly supported and secured against moving. The saw blade and shavings may be very hot after sawing. Watch out where wood shavings are flying. Wood shavings are hot and can cause burns, fires, or cutting injuries. Shavings are sharp and may cause injuries. Keep clothing closed so no shavings can get inside. Use only undamaged saw blades. Ensure that no teeth on the blades are broken. 7 en ENGLISH Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn. If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine. Protect battery packs from water and moisture!

Some 5.1 Battery pack examples of these chemicals are: Charge the battery pack (11) before use. · Lead from lead-based paints, · Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and Recharge the battery pack if performance diminishes. · Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending Instructions on charging the battery pack can be found in the operating instructions of the Metabo charger. on how often you do this type of work. To reduce Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power, LiHD" have a your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well capacity and signal indicator (18): ventilated area, and work with approved safety - Press the button (19), the LEDs indicate the equipment, such as those dust masks that are charge level. specially designed to filter out microscopic - The battery pack is almost flat and must be particles. recharged if one LED is flashing. 8 Removal: Press the battery pack release (12) button and pull the battery pack (11) upwards. Inserting: Slide in the battery pack (11) until it engages. 5.2 Setting cutting depth Loosen the locking lever (17) for adjustment. Read the depth of cut that has been set from the scale (14). Tighten the locking screw 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 blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration on page 3. 5.3 Attach guide rail adapter (as needed) Attach the adapter (6) to be able to attach the machine to a guide rail (see Accessories section). Insert adapter (6), as shown, into the guide plate (13). Tighten the locking screw (7) and use it to attach the adapter to the machine. 6. Use 6.1 The machine's multifunctional monitoring system If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch (3) is released. In spite of this protective function, overloading is still possible with certain applications and can result in damage to the machine. Causes and remedies: 1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If one LED (18) is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the button (19) and check the LED lamps (18) to see the charge level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be recharged. 2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out. The machine continues to run with reduced performance until the temperature is back to normal. In case of excessive overheating, the machine will switch off completely. Leave the machine or battery pack to cool. Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR COOLED" charger. Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed. 3. If the current is too high (for example, if the machine seizes continuously for long periods), the machine switches off. ENGLISH en Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (3). Then continue working as normal (in this case, read in particular the safety instructions in Chapter 4.Kickback. in addition to all other safety instructions). Try to prevent the machine from seizing. 6.2 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). 6.3 Working Directions 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. Guide the machine at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Sawing along a straight line: the cutting indicator is used here (9). 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 by means of the guide plate along this rail. Sawing with parallel guide: For cuts parallel to a straight edge. The parallel guide (10) can be inserted from either side into the support provided for it. Tighten the locking screw (7). It is best to calculate the exact cut width by making a test cut. 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. For guide rail, see chapter on Accessories. Battery pack heat generation: Under extremely hard application conditions (e.g. sawing thick wooden planks), the heavy load can cause the battery pack to heat (> 60 °C). To conserve the battery pack, allow it to cool down before continuing work. 7. Maintenance Changing saw blades Remove battery pack from machine. Directly after cutting the saw blade can be very hot burning hazard! Let a hot saw blade cool down. 9 en ENGLISH Risk of injury, even with the blade at standstill. Wear protective gloves when changing blades. Press in the spindle locking button (20) and hold in place. Turn the saw spindle slowly with the spanner in the saw blade fixing screw (21) (16)until the lock catches. Unscrew the saw blade fixing screw in a anticlockwise direction and remove the outer saw blade flange (22). Pull back the movable guard (26) and remove the saw blade. Ensure that the inner saw blade flange (25) is inserted in the right way: The inner saw blade flange (25) has 2 sides, diameter 20 mm and 5/8" (16 mm). Ensure a precise fit of saw blade mounting hole to the inner saw blade flange (25)! 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. The contact areas between the inner saw blade flange (25), the saw blade (23), the outer saw blade flange (22) and the saw blade fixing screw (21) must be clean. Put on the outer saw blade flange (22). Ensure that the outer saw blade flange (22) is inserted the correct way round (inscription facing outwards). Tighten the saw blade fixing screw (21) using a hexagon wrench (16) (max. 5 Nm). Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not use saw blades that are cracked or that have changed their shape. Do not use any saw blades made from highalloy high-speed steel (HSS). Do not use any saw blades which do not conform to the specified rating. Use only saw blades with a diameter according to the markings on the saw. The saw blade must be suitable for the no-load speed. Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn. Use only genuine Metabo - saw blades. Never use abrasive grinding discs. Clean the machine regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g. the movable guard, are in perfect working order. f 9.
