Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
Use
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or
cut-off tool. 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. WEVA 15-125 Quick, WEVA 15-150 Quick can also be used as polishing
tool.
b) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury. (Does not apply to WEVA 15-125 Quick, WEVA
15-150 Quick.)
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Treaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the
work area muswear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the
cord may be cuor snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pulthe power tool out of
your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants maresult in electrocution or shock.
4.2 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing
pad, brush or another accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapistalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation athe point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
thesurface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The
wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/orincorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback
over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through
the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel and sparks which could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
4.4 Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility
of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut whilethe
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge ofthe workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. Theprotruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring
or objects that can cause kickback
4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
4.6 Only for WEVA 15-125 Quick, WEVA 15150 Quick:
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment
strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose
and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.
4.7 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wirebrushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush
may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
4.8 Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective goggles.
WARNING – Always operate with two hands.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding
media and if required. Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Never use cutting discs for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side
of the cutting discs. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not
touch the base of the hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in
the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle.
The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle. See page 4
and chapter 14. Technical Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended. Always install an RCD with a
max. trip current of 30 mA upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via the
RCD, it must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 9. Cleaning.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls
(static). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments,
converting or servicing the machine. Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When
the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately! A damaged or
cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a
defective additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a vice. Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
– Lead from lead-based paints,
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to
dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions,
respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source,
avoid deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter
the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
– do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself
or nearby persons or on dust deposits,
– use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
– ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum
cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
– Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

8.3 Working Directions
Grinding and sanding operations:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and move back and forth so that
the surface of the workpiece does not become too hot.
Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of 30° – 40° for the best
working results. Cutting-off operations:
Always work against the run of the disc (see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking back from the cut out of control. Guide the
machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not
tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to side. Wire brushing: Press
down the machine evenly.
8.4 Lanyard connection (depending on equipment)
Safety warnings specific for use at height.
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.
– Only for use by trained persons. The users must be trained with regard to
tool securing and the use of tools at heights.
– Always keep the tool tethered when working “at height”. Only use appropriate
metabo brand lanyard (maximum length is 2 m (6.5 ft) with sufficient damping
capacity). The maximum permissible fall height for lanyard (tether strap) must
not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft). Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type
and rated for at least the mass of the tool including all used accessories.
– Read and follow the operating instructions of the tool securing lanyard!
– Inspect tool (especially the eyelet) and lanyard before each use for damage
and proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
– Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your body. Anchor to a solid
mounting option that can withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
– Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use near moving parts, mechanisms
or running machinery.
– Do not change the attachment point for the lanyard on the tool and also do
not use it for other purposes than those described in this manual.
– Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. Do not attach by
looping or knotting the lanyard. Do not use rope or cord. Only use carabiners
with two-way locking system. Do not use single action spring clip carabiners.
– Attach the lanyard in a way that the tool will move away from the operator
if it falls. Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss of balance.
– Do not attach more than one tool to each lanyard. – Only use specifically
intended attachment points (eyelet (10)) to attach the lanyard at the tool.
NEVER modify tools to create attachment points.
– Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps guards, switches or lock-
offs from operating properly.
– Keep lanyard away from the accessory.
– Protect the tool security lanyard from flying sparks and chips.
– Protect the tool securing lanyard from sharp edges, blades, chips, etc. Do
not step on the tool or the tool securing lanyard.
– Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get additional leverage from
the tool.
– Make sure that there is sufficient space in the area where the tool might
hit the floor. No persons must be endangered in that area.
– Replace the rope after a fall and check the tool for damage. After each
fall, have the machine checked for damage by a trained specialist and repaired
if necessary.
– Do not try to catch the falling machine. This might result in injuries.\
8.5 Rotate gear housing
See illustration E on page 3.
– Disconnect from the power supply.
– Unscrew the fastening screw (a) of the lever (17).
Remove the screw, lever (with its sheet metal part) and put aside.
– Unscrew the 4 gear housing screws (b).
CAUTION! Do not remove the gear housing!
– Turn the gear housing to the desired position without removing it.
– Screw in the 4 gear housing screws (b) in the available threads! Tightening
torque = 3.0 Nm +/- 0.3 Nm.
– Slide the spring that pushes the lever in position to the side and re-insert
the lever (17) (with its sheet metal part), and fix with the fastening screw
(a).
Tightening torque = 5.0 Nm +/- 0.5 Nm. Check the lever for correct function:
it has to be under springtension.
Cleaning
It is possible that particles deposit inside the powertool during operation.
This impairs the cooling of the power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the
protective insulation of the power tool and cause electrical hazards.
The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often and thoroughly through all
front and rear air vents using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air.
Prior to this operation, separate the power tool fromthe power source and wear
protective glasses and dust mask.
Troubleshooting
Machines with VTC, TC and VC electronics:
The electronic signal display (7) lights up and the load speed decreases (not
W…RT). There is too much load on the machine! Run the machine in idling until
the electronics signal indicator switches off.
The machine does not start. The electronic signal display (7) (depends on
model) flashes. The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is
inserted with the machine switched on, or if the power supply is restored
following an interruption, the machine does not start up. Switch the machine
off and on again.
