Tips And Tricks - Metabo KS 66 Plus Notice Originale

en ENGLISH
7.3 Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts
Loosen the two locking screws (6) to make the
setting. Tilt the motor section against the guide
plate. Read the angle which has been set from the
scale (4). Retighten the front and then the rear
locking screw (6).
7.4 Correcting the saw blade angle
The saw blade angle is set ex works.
If, at 0°, the saw blade is not at right angles to the
guide plate: release locking screws (6). Release
lock nut (24) and correct saw blade angle with
adjusting screw (23). Then retighten the lock nut.
Retighten both locking screws (6).
7.5 Rotational speed preselection
Select the speed at the setting wheel (14). For
recommended speeds, see page 2.
7.6 Extraction connection piece / dust
ejection
The nozzle (12) can be rotated to the desired
position to extract or eject chips. To do this, push
the nozzle in up to the stop, turn and pull out again.
The nozzle can be locked in 45° increments so that
it cannot turn.
Sawdust extraction:
connect a suitable dust extraction unit with suction
hose to the machine to extract the sawdust.
8. Use
8.1 Switching on and off
Switching on: Press locking button (10) and hold
in; then actuate the trigger (11).
Switching off: Release the trigger (11).
8.2 Signal display (KSE 68 Plus)
The signal display (13) lights up briefly when the
machine is switched on and indicates operational
readiness. If the signal display lights up during
operation, this indicates overloading. Reduce the
load on the machine.
8.3 Working instructions
Lay out the mains cable such that the cut can be
executed without obstruction.
For this purpose, the mains cable can be held by the
cable guide (9).
The markings (17) are designed to help the user
when positioning the machine and sawing the
workpiece. In the case of maximum depth of cut,
they mark approximately the outside diameter of the
saw blade and thus the cutting area.
Do not switch the machine on or off while the
saw blade is touching the workpiece.
Let the saw blade reach its full speed before
making a cut.
When the hand-held circular saw is added, the
movable safety guard is swung backwards by the
workpiece.
14
KSE 68 Plus: the movable safety guard can be
swung backwards manually using the lever (8) to
make the machine easier to position on the
workpiece.
When sawing, never remove the machine
from the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the machine off
immediately.
Sawing along a straight line:
the cutting indicator is used here (5). The width of
the cutting indicator represents roughly the width of
the saw disc.
Sawing along a rail secured on the workpiece:
In order to achieve an exact cutting edge, you can
attach a rail to the workpiece and then guide the
hand-held circular saw along this rail by means of
the guide plate (1).
Sawing with parallel stop:
For cuts parallel to a straight edge.
The double parallel stop (7) can be inserted from
either side into the support provided for it. Maintain
parallelism to the saw blade when making the
setting. Retighten the front and then the rear
locking screw (3). It is best to calculate the exact cut
width by making a test cut.
For cuts parallel to a straight workpiece edge: Apply
the parallel stop (7) such that the stop rail is facing
down.
For cuts parallel to a straight edge on the
workpiece: Apply the parallel stop (7) such that the
stop rail is facing up.
8.4 Sawing with guide rail 6.31213
For straight and splinter-free cutting edges accurate
to the millimetre. The anti-slip coating keeps the
surface safe and protects the workpiece against
scratches. The machine can be placed against the
stops on the guide rail for plunge cutting and cuts
can be executed with a uniform length.
For guide rail 6.31213, see chapter on Accessories.

9. Tips and Tricks

Depending on the application type and cutting
width, the parallel stop (7) can be inserted from the
right or left into its holder.
Sawing very narrow sections:
Insert the parallel stop (7) from the right into its
holder.
10. Maintenance
Clean the machine regularly. This includes vacuum
cleaning the ventilation louvres on the motor.
Changing saw blades
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
- Press in the spindle locking button (28) and hold in
place. Turn the saw spindle slowly with the
spanner in the saw blade fixing screw (22) until the
lock catches.
