Special Safety Instructions

Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. Remove nails or other metal parts from the workpiece to be processed.
Guide the tool against the workpiece only when it is switched on. The planer’s sole must make secure contact with the workpiece. Otherwise, there is a risk of rebound from jamming the tool in the workpiece.
Always get a secure grip on the machine when switching it on.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the handles (2) and (6). Do not operate the machine in a holder.
The danger of injury from sharp edges of the planer knives.
Pay attention to the rotating cutter. Keep in mind that the motor and thus also the cutter to run after switching off the tool.
Do not put your body and hands near the cutter drum.
Do not reach into the chip ejection mechanism.
Reverse/replace blunt planer knives in due time and always in pairs: worn edges of the planer knives increase the risk of kickback and reduce the quality of the planning work.  Sharp planer knives provide good cutting output and reduce the load on the machine.
Put the planer down onto the stand (11). If the stand is defective, have it repaired.
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining, or cleaning.
Protect battery packs from water and moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately!

Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery packs is subject to laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN 3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently valid specifications when shipping li-ion battery packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).

Reducing dust exposure:
****Some of the dust created using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.  Some of these substances include: lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete, etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), and some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long you or people nearby are exposed to them.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines 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.
