Original instructions

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that 

these circular hand saws conform to the standards 

and directives specified on page 3.

This machine is suitable for sawing wood, plastics 

and other similar materials.
The machine is not designed for plunge cuts.
While the KS 55 FS is suitable for work with the 

Metabo guide rail (6.31213), the KS 55 is not.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage 

caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-

tions and the enclosed safety information must be 

observed.

For your own protection and for the 

protection of your power tool, pay atten-

tion to all parts of the text that are marked 

with this symbol!

WARNING

 – Reading the operating instruc-

tions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING – Read all safety warnings, 

instructions, illustrations and 

specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future 

reference.

Pass on your electrical tool only together with these 

documents.

4.1 Cutting procedures

a) 

DANGER: Keep hands away from 

cutting area and the blade. Keep your 

second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor 

housing.

 If both hands are holding the saw, they 

cannot be cut by the blade. 
b) 

Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

 The 

guard cannot protect you from the blade below the 

workpiece. 
c) 

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of 

the workpiece.

 Less than a full tooth of the blade 

teeth should be visible below the workpiece. 
d) 

Never hold the workpiece in your hands or 

across your leg while cutting. Secure the work-

piece to a stable platform.

 It is important to 

support the work properly to minimise body expo-

sure, blade binding, or loss of control. 

e)

 Hold power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces only, when performing an operation 

where the cutting tool may contact hidden 

wiring or its own cord.

 Contact with a "live" wire 

will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool 

"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
f) 

When ripping, always use a rip fence or 

straight edge guide.

 This improves the accuracy 

of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. 
g) 

Always use blades with correct size and 

shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of 

the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. 
h) 

Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade 

plain washers or bolt. 

The blade washers and bolt 

were specially designed for your saw, for optimum 

performance and safety of operation. 

4.2 Kickback - causes and related warnings 

- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, 

jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an 

uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece 

toward the operator; 

- when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the 

kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor 

reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the 

operator; 

- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the 

cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig 

into the top surface of the wood causing the blade 

to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the 

operator. 

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and and 

can be avoided by taking proper precautions as 

given below. 
a) 

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the 

saw and position your arms to resist kickback 

forces. Position your body to either side of the 

blade, but not in line with the blade.

 Kickback 

could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kick-

back forces can be controlled by the operator, if 

proper precautions are taken. 
b) 

When blade is binding, or when interrupting 

a cut for any reason, release the trigger and 

hold the saw motionless in the material until 

the blade comes to a complete stop. Never 

attempt to remove the saw from the work or 

pull the saw backward while the blade is in 

motion or kickback may occur.

 Investigate and 

take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of 

blade binding. 
c) 

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, 

centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw 

teeth are not engaged into the material.

 If a saw 

blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the 

workpiece as the saw is restarted. 
d) 

Support large panels to minimise the risk of 

blade pinching and kickback.

 Large panels tend 

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be 

placed under the panel on both sides, near the line 

of cut and near the edge of the panel.
