16.4 Checking Limit Switches and Motorbrake
Note: In case of a damaged limit switch lead the machine may start during testing. This test should therefore only be
carried out by qualified service personel.
Swing the infeed table up to its upright
position and cover the cutterblock by
setting the fence assembly against
the table.
When actuating the switch the ma-
chine must not start.
Swing the outfeed table up to its upright
position and cover the cutterblock by
setting the fence assembly against
the table.
The braking period (time to motor
standstill) must be checked in at least
monthly intervals. The braking period
must not be more then 10 sec. If the
motor needs more then 10 sec. to
come to standstill, the motorbrake or
the complete motor have to be
replaced.
16.3 Servicing/Replacing the Recoil Lock
Damaged or worn anti-kickback
fingers must be replaced by genuine
metabo anti-kickback fingers (see spa-
re parts list for ordering information).
After removal of the two fastening
screws the recoil lock assembly is
removed from the machine.
New anti-kickback fingers must slide
easily and move freely on the recoil
lock shaft. After the recoil lock
assembly is reinstalled check for its
proper function.
