(3) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes in contact with the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger
switch is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger switch
is released. Moving the saw straight at a constant
speed will produce optimum cutting. (Fig. 29)

CAUTION
● Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade
has reached full speed revolution.
● When fi nished with a job, pull out the battery
from the main body.
● To avoid abnormal heating of the blade tip or
damage to the saw blade, do not twist or apply
excessive force to the saw blade when cutting.
Let the blade move forward smoothly.
● In the situation where the circular saw is
continuously operated while replacing the
battery with stocked spare batteries one after
another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore,
whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw
a break for a while.
● Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base
bottom is afl oat from the material being cut.
Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
6. Ripping cut
WARNING
To avoid serious accident, make sure that the
guide (rip fence) does not touch the saw blade
before use.
Ripping means to cut wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Therefore, it is
recommended to use the metabo HPT guide (rip fence)
(optional accessory, refer to page 31) to provide the
support and cut boards into the same width. (Fig. 30)

7. Pocket cutting
WARNING
● Never secure the lower guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the saw to raise
up off the work surface which could cause injury.
● To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is in
the OFF position, and pull out the battery before
any adjustment.
● Never tie or wedge the lower guard in a raised
position.
(1) Mark the desired cutting area clearly with lines all
side. (See Fig. 31)
(2) Set depth adjustment according to material to be cut.
(3) Push the lower guard lever all the way back so the
blade is exposed as shown in Fig. 31.
(4) Tilt the saw forward and align the notch (Fig. 27) with
the pre-marked guide line.
(5) Release the lower guard lever. When the lower guard
contacts the work piece surface, it will be in the proper
position to open freely when cutting is commenced.
