Electric Brake; Before Cutting; Oblique Angle - Metabo HPT C 12LDH Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

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.
WARNING:
Please be aware of the reaction of the Motor Head (Fig.1) when the brake is activated.
Braking causes the Motor Head to jerk downward and the user should be prepared
for this reaction, especially when the trigger switch is released before the blade
is completely down. Failure to be familiar with, and prepared for, the operational
characteristics of the tool may cause serious injury.
AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE,
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
11. Trial Run
After confi rming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and confi rm that no operating abnormalities
exist before attempting a cutting operation.
12. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for defl ection to confi rm that the blade is not noticeably
unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.

BEFORE CUTTING

1. Oblique angle

Before the power tool is shipped from the factory, it is adjusted for 0°, right angle, left 45° bevel cutting angle
and right 45° bevel cutting angle with the 8mm bolt (A), 8mm bolt (B) and the 8mm bolt (C).
When changing the adjustment, change the height of the 8mm bolt (A), 8mm bolt (B) or the 8mm bolt (C) by
turning them.
When changing the bevel angle to the right 45°, pull the set pin on the direction shown in Fig. 8-b and incline
the motor head to the right.
When adjusting the motor head to 0°, always return the set pin to its initial position as shown in Fig. 8-a.
NOTE:
Do not adjust the 8mm bolt with bevel plates (Fig. 30) pulled.
