Setting The Depth Of Cut; Setting The Saw Blade Tilt; Sawing With The Rip Fence - Metabo PK 255 Instructions D'utilisation Originales

ENGLISH
– suitable workpiece supports – if
otherwise workpiece would fall off
the table after being cut
– dust extractor.
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
– Do not attempt to stop the saw bla-
de by pushing the workpiece
against its side. This poses a risk of
kickback.
– Always hold the workpiece down on
the table and do not twist it. This po-
ses a risk of kickback.
– Never cut several workpieces at the
same time – and also no bundles
containing several individual pieces.
Risk of personal injury if individual
pieces are caught by the saw blade
uncontrolled.
c
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
Never cut workpieces to which ro-
pes, cords, bands, cables or wires
are attached or workpieces which
contain any of these materials.
8.1

Setting the depth of cut

A
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 workpi-
ece: the blade guard shall rest with its
front edge on the workpiece.
 Adjust depth of cut by turning the
handwheel (62) as required.

– Turning to the right = 
increase cutting depth
– Turning to the left = 
decrease cutting depth

Note:
To compensate for possible play in the
blade height setting mechanism, al-
ways raise the blade to the desired po-
sition from below.
8.2

Setting the saw blade tilt

A
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in the
adjustment area can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set the saw
blade tilt only with the saw blade at
standstill!!
1. Loosen the locking lever (64) about
one full turn.
2. Set the desired saw blade tilt using
the handwheel (63).

3. Fix the tilt angle by tightening the
locking lever (64).
8.3

Sawing with the rip fence

1. Lower the rip fence onto the guide
rail on the front of the saw.
2. Adapt the fence extrusion to the
workpiece height (see "Workpiece
fences" in chapter "Operating ele-
ments") and secure in place with the
knurled thumb screws (65).
3. Set the cutting width and secure in
place with the wing screw (66).
4. Set the saw blade cutting depth
(see "Setting the depth of cut" in
62
chapter "Operation") and secure in
place. The blade guard must rest
with its front edge on the workpiece.
5. Set the saw blade tilt angle (see
"Setting the saw blade tilt" in chap-
ter "Operation") and secure in
place.
6. Start motor.
A
Danger!
Always use the push stick if the di-
stance between saw blade and rip
fence is less than 120 mm.
7. Guide the workpiece slowly along
the rip fence up to the saw blade
and cut in a single pass.

8. Turn machine off if no further cutting
is to be done immediately after-
wards.
