5. Check the lower guard for proper operation.
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade during operation
of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly
and covers the saw blade properly.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower guard does not
function smoothly.
6. Confi rm the position of the spindle lock before using the tool.
After installing the saw blade, confi rm that the spindle lock has been returned to the released
position before using the power tool (see Fig. 2).
7. Check the Power Receptacle.
To prevent overheating, accidental stopping or intermittent operation, confi rm that the
power cord plug fi ts properly in the electrical receptacle and does not fall out after it is
inserted. Repair or replace the receptacle if it is faulty.
8. Confi rm the tool’s power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is damaged
9. Eye protection
Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements of ANSI Standard
Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because they do not contain
impact resistant safety glass.
WARNING: Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may
result in serious injury.
10. Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the blade within 5
seconds after the trigger switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging which will result in a longer blade
stopping time. On rare occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the saw blade will
coast to a stop.
If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and release the trigger switch to turn the
tool on and off 4 or 5 times. If the brake still does not engage, have the tool serviced at a
metabo HPT authorized service center.
Always confi rm that the saw blade has completely stopped before raising it from the
workpiece.
The brake is not a substitute for a properly functioning lower guard. Check the function of
the lower guard before each use. Serious personal injury may occur if the lower guard does
not move smoothly and cover the blade properly.
