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 thoroughly. Here, the
machine must be held firmly.
We recommend using a stationary extractor
system and connecting a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI) upstream. When the angle grinder is
shut down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be
checked and cleaned. See chapter 9 Cleaning for
more information on cleaning the motor.
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.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and loadbearing walls (static).
Connect a FI circuit-breaker with max. release
current (30 mA) upstream when using the machine
outdoors!
Pull the plug out of the socket before any making
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
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.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive safety guard.

6.1
Attaching the additional handle
Always work with the additional handle
attached (5)! Attach the additional handle
on the left or right of the machine and secure.
6.2
Attaching the safety guard
(for work involving grinding wheels)
For reasons of safety, the safety guard (6)
should always be attached when roughing
work is performed.
For reasons of safety, the special parting
guard should always be attached before
parting work is performed (see chapter 10 Acces-
sories).
See illustration on page 3.
- Loosen the clamping screw (10) until the
clamping ring (9) on the safety guard (6) expands
sufficiently.
- Align the safety guard as shown.
- Place the safety guard (6) on the flange at an
angle so that the rear section of the clamping ring
(9) engages in the flange.
