4 Special Safety Instructions

of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
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.
- To extract dust more efficiently, use the protec-
tive cap (9) and a suitable Metabo vacuum
cleaner together with this tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.

recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
During work, the tool must lay flat and be secured
