Special Safety Instruction
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the additional handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always work with the additional handle correctly installed.
High forces are released if the tool jams or catches. Always hold the machine with both hands by the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust mask and sturdy shoes when working with this tool.
Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector).
Work only with a correctly fitted tool. Pull on the tool to check that it is correctly seated. (It must be possible to move the tool a few centimetres in an axial direction.)
When working above ground level, ensure that the area below you is clear.
Never touch the tool or parts near the tool directly after work because they may be extremely hot and can cause burns to the skin,
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
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!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.
LED light (1): do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical
instruments.
CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery pack 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:
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 towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear.
