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 an air purifier,
- 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.
Transport of Li-Ion battery packs:
The shipping of Li-Ion battery packs is subject to
laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
- Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack
from the machine for sending. Prevent the
contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting
them with adhesive tape).

6. Initial Operation
6.1
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (18) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Battery packs have a capacity and signal indicator
(17) (depends on design variant):
- Press the button (16), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost empty and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
6.2
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removing:
Press the battery pack release (15) button and
remove the battery pack (18).
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (18) until it engages.
6.3
Fitting the anti-splintering footplate
insert
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
Remove the saw blade before fitting the anti-
splintering footplate insert (6).
Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces
upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from
the front, while noting the following 2 items:
• The smooth side of the footplate points upward.
• The slot is facing to the rear (towards the battery
pack).
If you wish to work with the protective plate attached
(see chapter Accessories 9.), insert the anti-
splintering footplate insert in the protective plate.
