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 (26)and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
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 build-
up 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 (26) 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 sanding 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.
When sawing materials that generate large
quantities of dust, the machine must be cleaned
regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g.
the movable guard, are in perfect working order.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When
working, always make sure that no nails or other
similar materials are being sawed into.
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.
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.
Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Avoid
melting of the material when sawing plastic.
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!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
Remove the battery pack from the machine
when not in use.
Remove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that
the machine is switched off.
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention imme-
diately!
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to laws
related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping li-ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
