Standard Cross Cuts; Cutting Of Small Cutoffs; Mitre Cuts - Metabo KGS 216 Originalbetriebsanleitung

For working, use the following:
– work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off the
table on completion of the cut;
– chip bag or dust extractor.
Cut only stock of dimensions that al-
low for safe and secure holding
while cutting.
Always hold the workpiece down on
the table and do not jam it. Do not
attempt to stop the saw blade by ex-
erting lateral pressure. Risk of injury
if the saw blade is blocked.

Standard Cross Cuts

Maximum work piece dimensions
(in mm):
KGS 216 KGS 254
Width approx. 305
Height approx. 65
Starting position:
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Deactivate cutting depth limiter.
– Rotating table in 0° position, lock
screw of the rotating table tight-
ened.
– Motorhead in vertical (90) position,
bevel tilt locking lever tightened.
– Track arm not extended.
– Lock screw of the track arm loos-
ened.
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Press the workpiece against the
fence and clamp with work clamp.
2. On wider workpieces pull the saw-
head forward (towards the opera-
tor).
3. Activate safety lock (73) and press
and hold down ON/OFF trigger
switch (74).
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 to
drop too much.

5. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let
the sawhead slowly return to its up-
per starting position.
8.2

Cutting of Small Cutoffs

When cutting with an extended track
arm, the retractable blade guard may
jam at the work piece when the saw-
head assembly is pushed back.
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 oc-
curs in rare cases only, for example:
– during sawing of small cutoffs which
must be cut using the radial pull ac-
tion due to their widths;
– with compound mitre cuts to the left
side.
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. Press the workpiece against the
fence and secure with the work
clamp.
2. Push the sawhead assembly all the
was to the rear (away from the op-
erator).

3. Activate safety lock (73) and press
and hold down ON/OFF trigger
switch (74).
4. Slowly swing the sawhead assem-
bly all the way down, holding the
handle firmly with both hands.
When sawing, exert only moderate
pressure to prevent the motor
speed to drop too much.
5. Pull the sawhead assembly forward
(towards the operator).
6. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
7. Release the ON/OFF switch and let
the sawhead slowly return to its up-
per starting position.
