en ENGLISH
Hazard generated by tool defects!
 Prior to each use check the tool for any eventual
damage: Before continuing to use the tool,
safety devices, protective devices or lightly
damaged parts must be carefully inspected for
correct and proper operation. Check to see that
all moving parts work properly and do not jam.
All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all
conditions necessary to ensure perfect
operation of the unit.
 Do not used any damaged or contorted saw
blades.
Risk of injury by noise!
 Wear hearing protection.
Danger from blocking work pieces or
work piece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. switch machine off,
2. unplug mains cable,
3. wear gloves,
4. clear the blockage using a suitable tool.
4.2 Symbols on the machine
(depends on model)
Read the operating instructions.
Never place hands into running saw
blade.
Wear protective goggles and ear
protectors.
Never operate the tool in a damp or wet
environment.
Laser radiation - Do not look into the light
beam.
4.3 Safety devices
Retractable blade guard (7)
The retractable blade guard protects against
unintentional contact with the saw blade and from
chips flying about.
Safety lock (29)
The retractable blade guard opens and the saw
can be lowered only when the safety lock is
activated.
Parallel guide/ ripping fence (30)
The parallel guide/ ripping fence prevents that the
workpiece can be moved during the cutting
process. During operation, the parallel guide/
ripping fence always has to be installed.
Make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to
support the workpiece and will not interfere with
the blade or the guard. Lock using the set screw
(31).

6. Setup and transport

Mounting the locking handle for the turntable
Insert the locking handle (22) into the turntable
(23) and screw in.
Attaching the additional handle
The machine is supplied with a laser warning
label in German. Before using the machine, cover
this label with the relevant enclosed laser warning
label in your national language.
Installation
The device has to be mounted on a stable
support for safe working.
– The support can either be a fixed worktop or
workbench or one of the Metabo stands (see
chapter Accessories)
– Even when machining larger workpieces the
device has to have a secure stand.
– Long workpieces must get additional support
with suitable accessories.
Note:
For mobile use, the device can also be fixed to a
plywood or coreboard panel (500 mm x 500 mm,
at least 19 mm thick) using screws. During use,
the panel has to be fixed to a work bench using
screw clamps.
1. Screw device tightly to the base (through the
holes in the feet).
2. Loosening the transport lock (16): Push the
saw head slightly downwards and hold. Pull
out transport lock (16).
3. Swivel saw head slightly upwards.
Transport
1. Swivel saw head downwards and push in
transport lock (16).
2. Lock the pulling device in the rear position
using the set screw (18).
Caution!
Do not hold the saw at the protective installations
during transport.
3. Lift the tool at the carry handle (1) or at the
carry handle (4) and carry.

7. The device in detail

7.1 On/Off switch motor
Switching on the motor:
 Press the on/off switch and keep pressed.
Switching off the motor:
 Let go of the on/off switch.
7.2 On/off switch cutting line
illumination
(24)
Switching on/ off the illumination of the cutting
line.
Danger!
Do not direct the light beam into the eyes of
people or animals.
7.3 On/off switch cutting laser
Switching on/off of the cutting laser.
The cutting laser marks a line on the left and a
line on the right to the cut. Make a trial cut to
become familiar with the positioning.
Danger!
LASER BEAM
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM
LASER CLASS 2
EN 60825-1:2007
P<1mW, λ=650nm
7.4 Setting the angle of inclination
Swivel the saw head upwards. Fold the locking
lever (12) towards the front. After loosening the
locking lever (14) (swivel towards the rear), the
saw can be inclined between 0° and 45° to the left
and right to the vertical.
If the locking lever (12) is folded towards the rear,
the saw locks in particular positions.
Press the locking button (13) during the
adjustment process in order to also set angles up
to 47° to the left of the vertical/ up to 47° to the
right of the vertical.
Danger!
In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking lever (14) of the turntable has
to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
7.5 Turntable
After loosening the locking lever (22) and
activating the safety catch (21), the turntable can
be turned by 50° to the left or by 50° to the right
for mitre cuts.
If the safety catch (21) is pushed upwards, the
turntable locks in particular angle levels. If the
safety catch (21) is pushed downwards all the
way, the locking function is deactivated.
Danger!
In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking handle (22) of the turntable has
to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
7.6 Only KGSV 72 Xact SYM:
Symmetrical cuts
For fast and easy sawing of mitre cuts with
symmetrically adjustable guide system.
Pull both locking levers (32) upwards and loosen
the clamping mechanism.
Push the safety catches (33) all the way
downwards, this deactivates the locking function.
Set the desired angle by positioning of the
"adjustable angle" (34): move both halves of the
table (9) / parallel guides/ripping fences (30) at
the same time and adjust to the desired angle.
If the safety catches (33) are in their top position,
the two halves of the table (9) / parallel guides/
ripping fences (30) lock at particular angle levels.
Danger!
 Both locking levers (32) must be pushed
downwards (also in the stop positions) so that
the angle cannot change during the sawing
process.
(27)
7.7 Pulling device
Using the pulling device, also larger workpieces
with greater cross sections can be cut. The
pulling device can be used for all types of cuts
(straight cuts, mitre cuts, slanted cuts and double
mitre cuts, and cutting of grooves).
If the pulling device is not required, lock the
pulling device in the rear position using the set
screw (18).
7.8 Cutting depth limitation
Together with the pulling device the cutting depth
limitation (47) permits the cutting of grooves.
Turn the set screw and fix with the counter nut.
The cutting depth limitation can be deactivated, if
the parallel guide (48) is pushed towards the rear.
