Maintenance; Environmental Protection - Metabo SSEP 18 LT Original Instructions Manual

6.3 Setting the guide
The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the
guide (2) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall). The
guide can be removed.
The tool must not be used without guide (2) .
Occasionally shift the guide (2) to achieve even
wear of the saw blade.
1. Press the button (1) and shift the guide (2) to the
desired position.
2. Release the button (1), and, if required, move
the guide (2) until the lever engages again.
Check the guide (2) to ensure that it is securely
fitted. It has to be engaged.
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off, stroke rate,
Switch-on lock (7):
Trigger (8) locked.
Trigger (8) unlocked.
Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (8).
The stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the
trigger.
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (8) .
7.2 Stepless stroke rate setting
The stroke rate can be changed steplessly by
varying the pressure applied to the trigger switch
(9), thus adapting it to the material and working
conditions.
7.3 Working Directions
Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Press the machine with the guide (2) against the
workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then
guide the saw blade against the workpiece.
Do not make contact with any objects or with the
ground with the moving saw blade (danger of recoil
and saw blade fracture!)
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade
(particularly in the case of long saw blades).
If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off
immediately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a
suitable tool and take out the machine.
After completing the sawing cut, switch off the
machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to
place it down once the saw blade has come to
a standstill (danger of recoil).
7.4 Activate and deactivate pendulum stroke
Activate pendulum stroke (14) for particularly high
cutting output by turning in an anti-clockwise
direction until the stop (pos. I) and deactivate by
turning clockwise until the stop (pos. 0) (see fig. B S.
2).
Plunge cuts:
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials
such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.
Hold the machine with both hands at the intended
handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on
the work.
See Fig. B, page 2: The machine is pressed with the
edge of the guide (2) against the workpiece. The
saw blade does not make contact with the
workpiece. Switch on the machine. The corner of
the guide serves as a pivot point around which the
machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade
cuts into the workpiece.

8. Maintenance

On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the rear ventilation slots.
Regularly clean the saw blade quick-clamping
device (3) and blow out with compressed air. Do not
oil or grease.
9. Accessories
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance
System) battery packs and accessories.
