Initial Operation - Metabo TEPB 19-180 RT CED Manual Original

en ENGLISH
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
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.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
Prior to each use, check if there are parts missing,
worn, broken, torn or damaged. Do not use a
defective or incomplete guard.
Use only the supplied clamping devices.
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.

6. Initial Operation

Prior to any conversion work: pull the mains
plug out of the socket. The machine must be
switched off and the spindle at a standstill.
Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency stated on
the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
6.1 Attaching the extraction guard to the
angle grinder
See page 2, Fig. A and Fig. B.
1. Push and hold the lever (1).
2. Place the extraction guard (2) in the position
shown on the angle grinder (see page 2, Fig. A).
3. Press the lever (1) and turn the extraction guard
(2) so that the angle grinder is pointing in the
direction shown (see page 2, Fig. B).
4. Release the lever (1) and turn the extraction
guard (2) until the lever (1) engages.
5. Make sure that the guard is placed securely: The
lever (1) must engage and you should not be
able to turn the extraction guard (2).
Attaching the additional handle
Always work with the additional handle (8)
attached! Firmly screw in the additional handle
(8) together with the extension piece (9) on the
angle grinder.
6.2 Attaching the dust extraction
Only work with adequate dust extraction:
Connect a suitable vacuum (in line with
national regulations) to the extraction sockets (7).
