Standard Cross Cuts; Cutting Of Small Cuttoffs; Mitre Cuts - Metabo KGS 305 Original Operating Instructions

8.1

Standard cross cuts

Maximum workpiece cross
(dimensions in mm):
Width approx.
Height approx.
Starting position:
− Transport locking pin pulled out.
− Sawhead fully raised.
− Movable
fence halves
together and arrested in position.
− Cutting depth limiter engaged in
outer position.
− Rotating table in 0° position, the
locking screw of the rotating table is
tightened.
− Motorhead in vertical (90°) position,
bevel tilt locking lever tightened.
− Track arm not extended.
− Locking screw of the track arm loos-
ened (if workpiece width requires).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Hold workpiece against the fence.
2. For wider workpieces pull sawhead
forward (towards the operator) as
far as required.
3. Push safety lock to the side and
press and hold the ON/OFF switch.
4. Lower sawhead slowly at the han-
dle; if necessary, push to the rear
(away from the operator). When
sawing, exert only moderate pres-
sure to prevent the motor speed
dropping too much.
5. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let
the sawhead slowly return to its
upper starting position.

Cutting of Small Cuttoffs

section When cutting with an extended track
arm, the retractable blade guard may
jam at the work piece when the sawhead
320
assembly is pushed back.
•
106 If this happens, release the ON/OFF
switch and let the sawhead assem-
bly slowly return to its upper starting
position.
Jamming of the retractable blade occurs
in rare cases only, for example:
− when cutting small cutoffs (53) (cut-
pushed
off
which,
(> 125 mm) require the track arm to
be extended;
− when making coumpound mitre cuts
with the sawhead assembly tilted to
the left.
In these cases, proceed as under:
All settings of the saw (position of the
rotating table and sawhead assembly
tilt) remain unchanged for making the
desired cut.
What changes is the direction of cutting
through the work piece.
1. Hold the work piece firmly against
the fence, secure with e.g. a stock
clamp.
2. Push the sawhead assembly all the
was to the rear (away from the oper-
ator).
3. Press on hold the ON/OFF switch.
4. Slowly swinf the sawhead assembly
(54) all the way down, holding the
handle firmly with both hands. When
sawing, exert only moderate pres-
sure to kee the motor speed from
dropping.
5. Pull the sawhead assembly forward
(towards the operator).
6. Cut the work piece in a single pass.
