MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION
Pull out battery before doing any inspection or
maintenance.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of a dull saw blade will degrade effi ciency
and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
CAUTION
If a dull saw blade is used, reactive force is
increased during cutting operation. Avoid the
use of the dull saw blade without repair.
2. Check the mounting screws
Loose mounting screws are dangerous. Regularly
inspect them and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosen, screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Performance checkup and maintenance of lower
guard
Keep the lower guard in good shape for smooth
performance at all times. Be sure to make prompt
repair in case of any malfunction.
4. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity
The angle between the base and the saw blade
has been adjusted to 90°, however should this
perpendicularity be lost for some reason, adjust in the
following manner.
(1) Turn the base face up (Fig. 21) and loosen the wing-
bolt.

(2) Apply a square to the base and the saw blade and,
turning the slotted set screw with a slotted-head
screwdriver, shift the position of the base to produce
the desired right angle.

5. Check for dust
Dust may be removed with a clean rag or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
6. Disposal of the exhausted battery
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The
battery must explode if it is incinerated. The
product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable.
At the end of it's useful life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this
battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste offi cials for details
in your area for recycling options or proper
disposal.
7. Storage
Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the
reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time
may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using
the batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries
dead and purchase new batteries.
8. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing
or replacement of parts because of wear from normal
use. To assure that only genuine replacement
parts must be used, all service and repairs must be
performed by a metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER, ONLY.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools,
the safety regulations and standards prescribed
in each country must be observed.
