Chip And Dust Extraction Unit; Operation - Metabo BKS 400 Plus Originalbetriebsanleitung

– Use a max. 16A mains fuse (short-
circuit protection device) for short-
circuit protection.
– Unplug the power plug from the out-
let to disconnect it from the power
supply.

Note:
Please contact your Electricity Board or
qualified electrician if you are unsure of
whether your house supply fulfils these
requirements.

Note:
Due to the high start-up current of the
motor during switch-on mains voltage
fluctuations may occur - these can be
recognised through, e.g., temporarily
flickering lights. In this case the mains
connection point has a higher im-
pendance than the recommended max-
imum value (see 'Technical Data').
Please contact your Electricity Board or
qualified electrician to have the connec-
tion point inspected.
A
Changing the direction of rota-
tion! (only possible for version with
DC motor)
Depending on the phase sequence it
is possible that the motor will turn in
the wrong direction. This can lead to
the piece of wood being hurled away
when an attempt is made to make a
cut. Therefore the rotational direc-
tion must be checked every time the
machine is connected to a different
outlet.
Checking the direction of rotation
1. Install machine ready for work and
connect it to the mains.
2. Start machine and immediately turn
OFF again.
3
Note:
The humming noise after switch-off
arises due to the electronic motor brake
response. It is not a machine fault!
3. Check the saw blade's direction of
rotation from the left-hand side of
the saw. The saw blade must rota-
te clockwise.
If the saw blade rotates anti-clockwise:

Changing the direction of rotation
4. Disconnect the mains cable from
the machine.
5. Using a screwdriver, press down
the phase changer in the connector
on the machine and rotate by 180°.
A
Caution!
Do not attempt to turn the phase
changer at the contact pins!
6.4 Chip and dust extraction
unit
A
Danger!
The machine produces wood dust
while working, so connect it to a
dust collector.
Dust of certain timber species (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled.
– Use a suitable dust extraction unit
when working in enclosed spaces.
– In addition, use a dust mask, as not
all saw dust is collected or extract-
ed.
– Operation without a suitable dust
collector is only allowed out of
doors.
The dust collector must fulfill the follow-
ing requirements:
– Matches the diameter of the dust
suction nozzle (see available acces-
sories chapter). Diameter 100 mm;
– Air flow volume 460 m
≥
– Underpressure at the saw's suction
nozzle 530 Pa;
≥
– Air speed at the saw's suction noz-
zle 20 m/s.
≥
To connect the circular saw to a dust
collector, you will need a dust suction
nozzle (see available accessories chap-
ter).
Switch on the dust collector before be-
ginning sawing.
Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!

Operation

A
Risk of injury!
This saw may only be operated by
one person at a time. Other persons
shall stay only at a distance to the
saw for the purpose of feeding or re-
moving stock.
Before starting work, check to see
that the following are in proper work-
ing order:
– mains cable and plug;
– ON/OFF switch;
– riving knife;
– blade guard; and
– feeding aids (push stick, handle for
push block).
Use personal protection equipment:
– dust mask;
– ear protection; and
– safety goggles.
Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw on the opera-
tor side;
– in front of the saw;
– to the left of the line of cut; and
– if work is being carried out by two
persons, with the other person re-
maining at an adequate distance to
the saw.
If the type of work requires it, use
the following:
– suitable workpiece supports – if oth-
erwise workpiece would fall off the
table after being cut
3
/h; – dust extraction device (accessory).
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
– Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side. This poses a risk of
kickback.
– Always hold the workpiece down on
the table and do not jam it. This
poses a risk of kickback.
