Adjusting The Cutting Depth; Setting The Saw Blade Tilt; Sawing With The Rip Fence - Metabo TKHS 315 C Originalbetriebsanleitung

The dust collector must comply with
the following requirements:
– hoses must fit the outer diameter of
the dust extraction ports (blade
guard 38 mm; chip case 100 mm);
– air flow volume 460 m3/h;

– vacuum at the dust extraction port
of the saw 530 Pa;

– air speed at the dust extraction port
of the saw 20 m/s.

The dust extraction ports are located at
the chipcase assembly and at the saw
blade guard.
Also follow the operating instructions
supplied with the dust collector!
Operation without a dust collector is
only possible:
– outdoors;
– for short-term operation
(up to a maximum of 30 minutes); or
– if a dust respirator is worn.
8.2 Adjusting the cutting
depth
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in the
adjustment area can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!
The saw blade's cutting height needs to
be adapted the the height of the work-
piece: the blade guard shall rest with its
front edge on the workpiece.
Adjust cutting height by turning the

handwheel (108) on the chipcase.
108
Note:
To compensate for possible play in the
blade height setting mechanism, al-
ways raise the blade to the desired po-
sition from below.
8.3

Setting the saw blade tilt

Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in the
adjustment area can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!!
You can adjust the blade bevel angle
infinitely between 0 and 45.
1. On the front (109) of the chip box,
release the handwheel by roughly
one turn.
2. Set required saw blade tilt.
3. Secure the adjusted inclination an-
gle by turning and tightening the
handwheel.
Note:
If necessary, you can adjust the 0° limit
stop of the handwheel (on the front
(109) of the chip box: release the screw
on the 0° limit stop, turn the eccentric
disc if necessary and retighten the
screw.
8.4

Sawing with the rip fence

1. Slide universal fence into the guide
extrusion at the front of the saw.
2. Adapt the rip fence extrusion to the
workpiece height:
– Small edge (110) =
for cutting thin stock
– Wide edge (111) =
for cutting thick stock
3. Adjust fence extrusion parallel with
the saw blade and arrest by tighten-
ing knob (112).
109
4. Set cutting width and arrest with
knob (113).
Danger!
Always use the push stick if the dis-
tance between saw blade and rip
fence is less than 120 mm.
