5.4 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (12) before use.

WPB 36-18 ...:
- Use always two Metabo 18-Volt slide-on battery
packs.
- Recommended capacity 5.5 Ah and greater.
- We recommend the use of battery packs with
identical item number.
The use of battery packs with different capacity (Ah)
is permitted. In this case, the battery pack with the
smaller capacity (Ah) determines the useful life.
Safety clip:
Battery packs with the designation "DS" have a
safety clip (19) (see fig. B, page 4). This feature is
part of a multi-piece system with the purpose to
prevent battery packs from falling when working at
heights.

The edge of the 2-hole nut (9) faces upwards so
that the thin grinding disc can be attached
securely.

Always hold the machine with both hands on
the designated handles, take a secure stance
and concentrate on the work.
