Special Safety Instructions

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. WEV 15-125 Quick HT, WEV 17-125 Quick Inox, and WEV  17-125 Quick Inox RT can also be used as a 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 WEV 15-125 Quick HT, WEV 17-125 Quick Inox, WEV 17-125 Quick Inox RT.)
c) 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.
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) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor 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, and wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If a 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 the application, use a face shield, safety goggles, or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a 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 filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of a workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the 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 cut or 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 pull the 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 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 of the accessory’s rotation at the 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 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use an 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. The accessory may kick back over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the 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.
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.

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 center 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 to the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with the 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 the 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 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.
f) Do not use worn-down wheels from larger power tools. The wheel intended for a larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

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 the 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 while the 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 kick back 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 of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring, or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s 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.

Only for WEV 15-125 Quick HT, WEV 15125 Quick Inox, WEV 17-125 Quick Inox RT: 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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operations. 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 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 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 pages 4-5 and chapter 14. Technical Specifications for more information on the spindle length and thread.
The 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.

Reduce dust exposure:
Particles generated when working with this machine may contain substances that can cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, birth defects or other propagation defects. 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 depends on for how long the user or nearby persons are exposed to the substance. This dust must not be allowed to enter your body. Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ventilation in 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 generated particles at the source, and avoid deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see chapter 11.), thus 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

Use

Adjusting the speed (depending on features)

Set the recommended speed at the thumbwheel. (8) (small number = low speed; large number = high speed)
Cutting disc, roughing disc, cup wheel, and diamond cutting disc: high speed
Brush: medium speed
Sanding plate: low to medium speed
Note. We recommend using our angle polisher for polishing work.

Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust and chips. After switching off the machine, only place it down when the motor has come to a standstill.

Machines with slide switch:

Switching on: Push the sliding switch forward. (5) For continuous activation, now tilt downwards until it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide switch (5) and release it.
Machines with paddle switch (with dead man function):

Machines with paddle switch (with dead man function):

Switching on: Slide the switch-on lock (10) in the direction of the arrow and press the trigger (9).

Machines with the designation W…RT:
Continuous operation (depending on features)

Switching on: Switch the machine on as described above. Now slide the trigger switch (9) forwards again and release in the front position to lock the trigger switch (9)(continuous operation).
Switching off: Push the trigger switch (9) upwards and release.

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 of30° – 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.

Rotate gear housing
See illustration D on page 3.

• Disconnect from the power supply.

• Unscrew the fastening screw (a) of the lever (15).
  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 (15) (with its sheet metal part), and fix it with the fastening screw (a).
  Tightening torque = 5.0 Nm +/- 0.5 Nm. Check the lever for correct function: it has to be under spring tension.

Cleaning

It is possible that particles deposit inside the power tool 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 from the power source and wear protective glasses and a dust mask.

Troubleshooting

Machines with VTC and TC electronics:
The electronic signal display lights up and the load speed decreases (not W…RT). (7) 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 the 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.
