The workpiece must lay flat and be secured
against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large work-
pieces 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 page 2 and chapter 14 Technical Specifica-
tions for more information on the spindle length
and thread.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
Always wear protective goggles.
Conductive dust may collect
inside the machine during the
process. This can lead to the transfer of electrical
energy onto the machine housing. This can mean
a temporary danger of electric shocks. This is why
it is necessary when the machine is running to
blow compressed air through the rear ventilation
slots of the machine regularly, frequently and thor-
oughly. Here, the machine must be held firmly.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the
power tool from the mains supply (use non-
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal
components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.

Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
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 defec-
tive additional handle.
