Special Safety Instructions

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations:

Use

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 the instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
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.
Do not use accessories that 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.
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.
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.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the coating 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.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear, or excess wear, ire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or accessory is dropped, check it 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use a face shield, safety goggles, or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves, and a 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 filtering particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpieces or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
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.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grip the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
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.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush, or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite to the accessory’s rotation at the point of jamming. 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 the surface 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 the 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/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the 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.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may kick back over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in a direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging
Use special care when working around 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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Cut-Off Grinding

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.
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.
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 the operator from broken fragments, accidental contact with the wheel, and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of the 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.
Do not use worn-down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may break.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Cut-Off Grinding

Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make excessively deep cuts. 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.
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.
If the wheel jams or if you interrupt 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 while the wheel is in motion, otherwise, kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of the wheel jam.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may jam, walk up, or kick back if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-back. 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 of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making “pocket cuts” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding cutting disc may cause kickback when cutting gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations

Do not use excessively large sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting sandpaper.
Larger sandpaper that extends beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging or kickback, or may cause the disc to tear off.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations

Be aware that wire bristles are lost 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.
If the use of a safety guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to workload and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Instructions

WARNING: Always wear protective goggles.

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 discs from grease or impact! Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Never use cut-off wheels for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side of the cut-off wheels. 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 sanding 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 3 and the 14. Technical Specifications chapter for more information on the spindle length and thread. It is recommended to use a stationary extraction system and to place a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) downstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via the GFCI, it must be checked and cleaned. See the 9. Cleaning chapter for more information on cleaning the motor. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables, and load-bearing walls (building structure). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. Metabo S-automatic safety clutch (WQ 1100-125, WEQ 1400-125 only). When the safety clutch activates, switch off the machine immediately! A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a defective additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard. This power tool is not suitable for polishing work. Improper use of the machine will void the warranty! The motor may overheat and damage the electric power tool. We recommend using our angle polisher for polishing work. Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping them 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, and asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions and 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, and 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.
