Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Risks associated with ejected parts
Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air supply before replacing the
mounted tool or accessory parts, and also before carrying out repairs or
settings.
If either the workpiece, accessory parts or the air tool breaks, parts may be
ejected at high speed. While operating, maintaining or repairing the air tool,
or replacing accessory parts, you must always wear impact-resistant safety
goggles. The degree of protection required for each individual task must be
evaluated separately in each case. Wear a safety helmet if carrying out work
above your head. Also ensure that no other people are placed at risk.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely attached.
4.2 Risks associated with items catching/ getting entwined
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves at a safe distance from the air tool and moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may possibly be caught in moving parts.
There is a risk of injury in this case.
4.3 Risks during operation
When using the air tool, the operator’s hands may be exposed to potential risk
of cuts, abrasions and heat damage. To protect your hands, wear suitable
gloves.
The operator and maintenance staff must be physically capable of handling the
size, weight and power output of the air tool.
Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: be prepared to counter both routine
and unexpected movements, so keep both hands ready.
Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your balance at all times.
Avoid accidental operation. If the air supply is interrupted, switch off the
air tool using the On/Off switch.
Only use lubricants that have been recommended by the manufacturer.
Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. By wearing
personal protective equipment such as gloves, protective clothing, a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, a safety helmet or ear protectors, to suit the
type of machine and its use, you reduce the risk of injury.
Wearing this equipment is recommended.
Check the grinding wheel before each use. Do not use if cracked or broken, or
if it has been dropped. Avoid direct contact with the grinding wheel to
prevent crushing or cutting your hands or other body parts. To protect your
hands, wear suitable gloves.
Never operate the machine when no grinding medium is installed.
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the machine is used on plastic
and other non-conductive materials.
Explosive or flammable dust or vapours may be generated while you work on
workpieces. There is therefore a risk of explosion or fire. Always use a dust
extraction or dust suppression system that is suitable for the material being
processed.
4.4 Risks associated with recurring movements
When working with the air tool, you may experience an uncomfortable sensation
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts.
Make sure you are in a comfortable position to carry out work with the air
tool, check that the tool is held securely, and avoid any awkward positions
that make it difficult, for example, to keep your balance.
If carrying out work over an extended period, you/ the operator should change
position occasionally. This should help to avoid fatigue and any unpleasant
sensation.
If the operator experiences persistent symptoms such as feeling unwell, aches,
pains or throbbing, a prickling or burning sensation, loss of hearing, or
joint stiffening, these warning signs must not be ignored. The operator should
advise the employer of these symptoms and consult a qualified doctor.
4.5 Risks associated with accessory parts
Disconnect the air tool from the air supply before securing or replacing the
mounted tool or accessory part.
Only use accessories that are designed for this device and that fulfil the
requirements and the specifications listed in these operating instructions.
Avoid any direct contact with the mounted tool both during and after use
because it may be hot or have sharp edges.
Parting grinder discs and chopping machines must not be used.
The rated speed of the mounted tool must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the air tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
Self-adhesive sanding discs must be fitted concentrically on the supporting
disc.
4.6 Risks in the workplace
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main reasons for accidents in the
workplace. Pay attention to surfaces that may have become slippery as a result
of using the air tool, and also be careful that the air hose does not cause
someone to trip.
The air tool is not designed for use in explosive environments and is not
insulated against contact with sources of electric power.
Ensure that the area where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines
or water pipes (e.g. by using ametal detector).
4.7 Risks associated with dust and vapours
The dust and vapours generated when the air tool is used may carry health
risks (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); it is therefore
imperative that a risk assessment is carried out in relation to these risks
and that suitable controls are then implemented.
The risk assessment should take into account both the dust generated while the
air tool is used and any existing dust that may be raised during operation.
The air tool must be operated in accordance with the recommendations set forth
in these instructions and must be maintained in order to minimise the release
of dust and vapours.
The extracted air must be discharged in such a way that, in a dust-filled
environment, the minimum of dust is raised.
If dust or vapours are generated, the main priority is to control these at the
point where they are released.
All integral or accessory parts on the air tool that are designed to collect,
extract or prevent airborne dust or vapours must be used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
To avoid increasing the amount of dust or vapours generated unnecessarily, the
consumables and the mounted tool must be selected, maintained and replaced in
accordance with these instructions.
Use protective breathing apparatus in accordance with your employer
instructions or in accordance with health and safety regulations.
4.8 Risks associated with noise
Failure to use adequate ear protectors when the noise level is high can result
in lasting damage to hearing, hearing loss and other problems, such as
tinnitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in the ear).
It is vital to carry out a risk assessment in relation to these risks and to
implement appropriate control measures that take the risks into account.
Appropriate risk control measures may include, for example, the use of sound-
insulating materials to prevent the knocking sounds that occur on the
workpieces.
Use ear protection in accordance with your employer instructions or in
accordance with health and safety regulations.
The air tool must be operated in accordance with the recommendations provided
in these instructions and must be maintained in order to avoid unnecessarily
raising the noise level.
To avoid increasing the noise level unnecessarily, the consumables and the
mounted tool must be selected, maintained and replaced in accordance with
these instructions.
The integrated sound absorber must not be removed. You must ensure the sound
absorber is in good working order.
4.9 Risks associated with vibration
The effects of vibrations can damage nerves and impair blood circulation in
the hands and arms.
When working in cold environments, you must wear warm clothing and keep your
hands warm and dry.
If you notice that the skin on your fingers or hands is numb, prickling or
turning white, stop working with the air tool immediately, notify your
employer and consult a doctor.
The air tool must be operated in accordance with the recommendations provided
in these instructions and must be maintained in order to avoid unnecessarily
raising the level of vibration.
Hold the air tool firmly but not too tightly using the required manual torque
reaction: the risk of vibration is increased when the grip force is higher.
4.10 Additional safety instructions
Compressed air can cause serious injury.
Whenever the air tool is not in use, and before replacing accessory parts or
when carrying out repairs, you must ensure that air supply is shut off, that
the air hose is depressurised and that the air tool is disconnected from the
compressed air supply.
Never direct the air jet at yourself or other people. Whiplashing hoses can
cause serious injury. Therefore always check that the hoses and their fixtures
are in good condition and that they have not become loose.
If universal swivel couplings (claw couplings) are being used, locking pins
are also required. You should also use whip check hose restraints in case
there is a problem with the connection between the hose and air tool or
between the hoses themselves. Ensure that the maximum pressure specified on
the air tool is not exceeded.
Never carry air tools by the hose.
4.11 Additional safety instructions
– If applicable, observe any particular health and safety or accident
prevention regulations governing the use of compressors and compressed air
tools.
– Ensure that the maximum supply pressure specified in the Technical
Specifications is not exceeded.
– Do not overload the tool – use it only within the performance range for
which it was designed (see “Technical Specifications”).
– Use non-hazardous lubricants. Ensure the workplace is adequately ventilated.
If there is a large amount of discharge: check the air tool and have it
repaired if necessary.
– Do not operate the tool unless you are completely focused. You must be
alert, pay attention to what you are doing and proceed cautiously when working
with an air tool. Never use a tool when you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just one moment’s carelessness when using the
tool can cause serious injury.
– Make sure your workplace is clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit
workplaces can cause accidents.
– Keep air tools away from children.
– Do not store the tool outdoors or in damp conditions without protection.
– Protect the air tool, especially the compressed air connection and the
control elements from dust and dirt.
– Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species,
minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic, such as oak and beech
dust, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction device where possible.
– For efficient dust collection, use a suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together
with this air tool.
– The workplace must be well ventilated.
– The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
– Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.

6.3 Dust extraction
External dust extraction: fit a suitable dust extractor to the extractor
connec- tion piece (5).
6.4 Using the air tool
To maximise the air tool’s performance, always use compressed air hoses with
an inner diameter of at least 10 mm and a maximum length of 10 m. Tool
performance can be significantly impaired if the inner hose diameter is too
small or if the hose is too long.
Caution. The compressed air line must not contain any water condensation.
Caution. To preserve and extend the service life of this tool, you must
ensure that it is regularly maintained with pneumatic oil lubricator. You can
do this as follows:
–Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lubricator.
– Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil every day via the
compressed air connection.
Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator for each 15 minutes of
continuous operation.
If the tool has not been in use for several days, you should manually apply
about 5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.
Caution. Only allow the tool to run at idle speed for a brief period.
-
Fit a suitable sanding disc (1) (see Section 6.2).
-
Connect a suitable dust extractor to the extraction connection piece (5). (See Section 6.3).
-
