air can freely fl ow at all times. Check for dust build-up
frequently.
13. Operate power tools at the rated voltage.
Operate the power tool at voltages specifi ed on their
nameplates.
If using the power tool at a higher voltage than the
rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor
revolution and may damage the unit and burn out the
motor.
14. Do not run the saw while carrying it at your side.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER
OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, metabo HPT
has adopted a double insulation design. “Double insulation”
means that two physically separated insulation systems
have been used to insulate the electrically conductive
materials connected to the power supply from the outer
frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol
“
” or the words “Double insulation” appear on the
power tool or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external grounding, you must
still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in
this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool
in wet environments.
To keep the double insulation system eff ective, follow
these precautions:
○
Only metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER
should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and
only genuine metabo HPT replacement parts should
be installed.
○
Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic
components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.
