Safety; Operation - Metabo ELEKTRA BECKUM Multi 260 S Operating Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
8. Tighten spindle nut, with the open
end wrench supplied, hand-tight
only.
Danger!
− Do not extend open end wrench
for tightening the spindle nut.
− Do not tighten spindle nut by stri-
king the wrench
− Remove lock pin (81) from the
housing.
9. Rotate cutter spindle by hand to
see that it runs clear of the table
insert rings.
10. Crank cutter spindle fully down with
handwheel 80 and tighten locking
screw (79).
Cutter fence installation
1. Install the cutter fence's base first.
To do so, screw both bolts (83) into
the tapped holes in the machine
table
.

2. Fasten the articulated arm (84) with
two each hexagon socket head cap
screw and washer to the rear of the
cutter fence's base.
3. Slide the hexagonal extension arm
(85) into the relevant bracket on the
articulated arm (84) and tighten.
4. Slide vertical holddown shoe (86)
onto the extension arm and tighten.
5. Slide lateral pressure shoe (87) onto
extension arm and tighten.
6. Connect a suitable dust collector to
the cutter fence's base.
Guard plate installation
1. Slide guard plate (88) into the
groove in the sliding carriage (89),
right up against the mitre fence and
tighten both screws on the rear of
the guard plate.

2. Make a test pass with the sliding
carriage (motor OFF, without stock):
The guard plate must always stay
clear of the cutter by at least 10 mm.

10.2 Safety

Safety devices
•
Cutter fence with lateral pressure
shoe
The cutter fence and lateral pres-
sure shoe provide a support for the
safe guiding of the workpiece, pro-
tect against accidental contact with
the cutter and chips flying about.
•
Guard plate
The guard plate protects against
accidental contact with the cutter.
Information for a safe operation
General Hazard:
− Install only suitable cutters. A cutter
must correspond to EN 847-1 and
carry the follwing markings:
− "HAND FEED"
86 87
or
− "MAN".
The installation of grinding or polish-
ing disks is not permissible.
− Before switching on check to see
that the cutter is securely clamped.
− Before switching on check to see
that the cutter can turn freely. To do
so, turn cutter carefully by hand –
Caution – cutting hazard!
− Always work one workpiece at a
time.
− Depending on the job use suitable
safety devices, which prevent acci-
dental contact with the rotating cut-
ter. Adapt these safety devices
exactly to the respective application
and the workpiece dimensions.
− Use a feeding aid if you are going to
work a workpiece less than 300 mm
long.
− Always feed the workpiece against
the cutter's direction of rotation.
Risk of kickback
Risk of injury by workpiece
kickback (workpiece is caught by the
rotating cutter and thrown back
against the operator):
− Always use sharp cutters only.
− If in doubt check workpiece for inclu-
89
sion of foreign objects (e.g. nails,
screws, lose knots).
− Depending on the job use suitable
safety devices, which prevent acci-
dental contact with the rotating cut-
ter. Adapt these safety devices
exactly to the respective application
and the workpiece dimensions.
− Adapt spindle speed to the cutter
diameter.

10.3 Operation

1. Depending on job, install and adapt
cutter, cutter fence, lateral pressure
shoe and/or guard plate.
Also use sliding carriage, G-cramps
or table extension, if necessary.
2. Adjust spindle speed relevant to the
cutter diameter.
3. Start motor.
4. Assume proper operating position.
5. Loosen locking screw (90) and set
cutting height with handwheel (91)
(any possibly fitted auxiliary fence
will be cut by this process). Tighten
locking screw (90).
90
Note:
The auxiliary fence is a wearing
part. It is therefore necessary to fabri-
cate a new auxiliary fence if the clear-
ance zone around the cutter has
enlarged the extent that the workpiece
can no longer be safely guided.
6. Work the workpiece.
