SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

  1. Work area safety
    a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
    b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
    c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

  2. Electrical safety
    a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
    b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
    c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
    d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
    e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
    f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

  3. Personal safety
    a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
    b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
    c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
    d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 5) balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
    f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
    g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

  4. Power tool use and care
    a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
    b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
    c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
    d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
    e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
    f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
    g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

  5. Battery tool use and care
    a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
    b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
    c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
    d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

  6. Service
    a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
    – WARNING —To reduce the risk instruction manual. of injury, the user must read
    CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
    Cutting procedures
    a) . DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the 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 a piece being cut in your hands or c) across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
    e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool alive” 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 the cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
    g) Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing a loss of control.
    h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
    Kickback causes and related warnings
    – kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound 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 bound 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 backward, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
    b) When the 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, center the saw blade in the kerf and check those saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
    d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
    e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
    f) blade binding and kickback. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cuts. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
    g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
    Lower guard function
    a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of the cut.
    b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
    c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
    d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on the bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

  1. Never touch moving parts. Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.
  2. Never operate without all guards in place. Never operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming the operation of the tool.
  3. Use the right tool. Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose not intended —for example— don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
  4. Handle the tool correctly. Do not drop or throw the tool.
  5. Definitions for symbols. V volts direct current no-load speed —/min revolutions or reciprocation per minute Hz hertz A amperes
  6. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place. Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted. Check their condition periodically.
  7. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or handle is cracked. Cracks in the tool’s housing or handle can lead to electric shock. Such tools should not be used until repaired.
  8. Blades and accessories must be securely mounted to the tool. Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others. Blades, cutting implements, and accessories that have been mounted to the tool should be secure and tight.
  9. Carefully handle power tools. Should a power tool be dropped or struck against hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed, cracked, or damaged.
  10. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Solvents such as gasoline, thinner benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dried thoroughly.
  11. Keep motor air vent clean. The tool’s motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely flow at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently.
  12. NEVER leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
  13. NEVER touch the blade with bare hands after the operation.
  14. For this mode, the saw blades should be 165 mm.
  15. Because the cordless circular saw operates by battery power, be aware of the fact that it can begin to operate at any time.
  16. When working at elevated locations, clear the area of other people and be aware of conditions below you.
  17. Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to trouble.

NOTE The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature.

4. Disconnect the battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord. Make sure to grasp the plug when removing it from the receptacle to avoid damaging the cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with a hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.
NOTE Be sure to pull out the battery from the battery charger after use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and the normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2-3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION

  • When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

  • If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of UC18YFSL charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds) or the charge indicator lamp of UC18YSL3 charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first, let the battery cool, then start charging.

  • When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
CAUTION To avoid serious accidents, ensure the switch is in the OFF position, and pull out the battery.

  1. Check the work area environment Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter. Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation are adequate.
  2. Mounting the Saw Blade (Fig. 10)

WARNING If the Hexagonal flange bolt is worked using other tools than the provided hex. wrench, excessive tightening, and insufficient tightening may take place, resulting in injury.

  1. Thoroughly remove any sawdust which has accumulated on the spindle, bolt, and washers.
  2. Apply quality machine oil to the surfaces of washers (B) and (A) which come into contact with the blade.
  3. As shown in Fig. 10, one side of the saw blade should be fitted to the projecting center of the washer (A) which matches the blade’s inner diameter, and the other side to the concave side of the washer (B).
  4. To ensure that the saw blade rotates in the correct direction, make sure the arrow on the saw blade points in the same direction indicated by the arrow on the saw cover.
  5. Using the fingers, tighten the Hexagonal flange bolt securing the saw blade as much as possible. Then press the lock button, lock the spindle, and fully tighten the Hexagonal flange bolt with the hex. wrench.

CAUTION After mounting the saw blade, reconfirm that the lock button is firmly secured in the prescribed position.

3. Dismounting the saw blade
CAUTION Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.

  1.  Set the cutting volume at maximum, and place the Circular Saw as shown in Fig. 11.

  2. Depress the lock lever, lock the spindle, and remove the Hexagonal flange bolt and washer (B) with the hex. bar wrench 5 mm.

  3. While holding the lower guard lever to keep the lower guard fully retracted into the saw cover, remove the saw blade (Fig. 12).

  4. Check the performance of the lower guard .
    WARNING Make absolutely sure that the lower guard is not fixed. Also, check and see if it can move smoothly. If the saw blade is kept exposed, injury can result. The lower guard (refer to Fig. 2) serves to protect your body from coming into contact with the saw blade. Make absolutely certain that the cover smoothly performs to cover the saw blade. If the lower guard should not move smoothly, never use it without repairing it. In such a case, get in touch with the store where you bought the circular saw or the Metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for the necessary repair.

  5. Check for proper operation of the brake This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. Before using the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake functions properly. If it does not, bring the tool to a Metabo H PT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

  6. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 13) Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a workbench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a workbench, select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable workbench will result in hazardous operations.
    CAUTION To avoid possible accidents, always ensure that the portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely anchored or held in position.

  7. Check battery insertion,
    WARNING If the battery is inserted while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, inviting serious accidents. th
    CAUTION Until the battery locks in place with a little click, if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool causing injury to you or someone around you.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION Pull out the battery before doing any adjusting.

  1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 14),
    WARNING If the lever is loose, injury can result. Tighten it securely after adjustment.
    To adjust cutting depth, loosen the cutting depth lever and, while holding the base with one hand, move the main body up and down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth. After adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the cutting depth lever securely.

  2. Adjusting the angle of inclination.
    WARNING If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten it securely after adjustment.
    You can incline saw blade from -5° to a maximum angle of 45° in relation to the base. As shown in Fig. 15 by loosening the incline lever on the inclined gauge and incline wing-nut, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 45° in relation to the base.
    To use at an angle of -5°, first, loosen the cutting depth lever and minimize the cutting depth of the saw blade. Next, loosen the incline lever and the incline wing-nut, turning the stopper lever in the direction indicated as A (Fig. 16). Tilting the main unit in the direction indicated as B, fasten the unit with the incline lever and incline wing-nut (Fig. 17).

Always ensure that the wing-nut is thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.
NOTE Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined precise angle, use the circular saw after adjusting the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protractor, etc.
3. Fine-tuning of parallelism It is possible to fine-tune the parallelism of the saw blade to the base using the parallelism adjustment screw. The adjustment has already been made at the time of shipment from the factory. However, in the unlikely event of parallelism being faulty, adjust as follows.

  1. Unfasten only the mounting screws of the saw cover hinge portion (Fig. 18).

  2. Retract the lower guard into the saw cover.

  3. Insert a wood chip in the rear side of the saw blade base, and mark the position on the base (Fig. 19).

  4. Move the marked wood chip to the front of the base, and turn the parallelism adjustment screw so that the marking corresponds to the base side (Fig. 20).
    NOTE After parallelism adjustment, if the saw cover hinge portion is loose, tighten the M5 U-Nut. Do not over tighten the nut as this may result in deformation of the beveled plate.

  5.  After adjustment, fasten the mounting screws tightly in place.
    NOTE Parallelism may be slightly faulty if the cutting depth is adjusted after parallelism adjustment.

  6. Adjusting the guide piece On the circular saw, it is possible to make a fine adjustments to the fixing position of the guide piece, where the saw blade and the premarked line are to be aligned. When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned with the central position of the saw blade (Fig. 21).

Loosen the fixed M4 screw on the guide piece. should the fixing position be wrong, and make necessary adjustments of the position.

b) With the protrusions of the long guide pointing downwards, re-attach the two guide bars.

9. Attaching the fluorine plate (sold separately) 1 Firmly fix to the base with the bolts.
NOTE

  • The maximum cutting depth will be 2.5 mm shallower.
  • Cutting anything other than wood will remove the fluorine, making the base difficult to slide.
  • The fluorine coating of the base surface makes it easier to slide, making the motor susceptible to pressure. Do not press too hard on the unit.

WARNING When using the guide, avoid inclined cutting that will allow the cut material to be caught between the saw blade and the guide. Doing so may result in injury.

10. Attaching the dust collection adapter (sold separately) When connecting with a dust extractor, attach the dust collection adapter to the chip exhaust. When connecting to the dust extractor, a hose with an inside diameter of t25 mm can be used for the dust extractor. Insert the catch of the dust collection adapter to the front part of the chip exhaust, and fasten the dust collection adapter with the M4 screw that is included with the unit.

11. Cutting procedures
CAUTION
• Recheck that the saw blade is securely clamped.
• Confirm that the lever for adjusting the slot depth, the wing-nut for adjusting the angle of inclination.
(1) Place the base on the material. then align the premarked line and the saw blade with the notch at the front of the base (Fig. 32).

(2) When the base is not inclined, use the right side of the notch (Fig. 32, Fig. 33). If the base is inclined (45 degrees), use the left side of the notch (Fig. 32, Fig. 34).

NOTE When using the saw at the inclination of 45 degrees, use both the marks on the beveled plate and [45] on the inclined gauge of the base (Fig. 35). What’s more, if it is absolutely essential to use the saw at a precise angle, make adjustments using a protractor, etc.

(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 switch trigger is squeezed: and OFF when the switch trigger is released. Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will produce optimum cutting.
CAUTION

  • Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade has reached full speed revolution.
  • Should the saw blade be stopped or made an abnormal noise during operation, turn off the switch immediately?
  • When finished 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 afloat from the material being cut. Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
