ensuring: these circular saws identified by their type
and serial number *1) conform to all relevant
provisions of the directives *2) and standards *3).
Technical documents for *4) - see page 3.

2. Specified Conditions of Use

This machine is suitable for sawing wood, plastics
and other similar materials.
The machine is not designed for plunge cuts.
KS 66 FS is suited for working with Metabo guide
rails and the Metabo mitre rail system.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Information

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Always include these documents when passing on
your power tool.

4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1
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 the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. 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.
4.2
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
