Special safety instructions

Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Hold the machine from the handles provided.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 10 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 wellventilated 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.
Safety instructions for battery packs:
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.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting the battery pack.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only when the machine is at a standstill.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
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).
