Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of
30° - 40° for the best working results.
Cut-off grinding:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise the
machine may kick back from the cut in
an out of control manner. Guide the
machine evenly at a speed suitable for
the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply
excessive force or sway from side to side.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
8.4 Lanyard connection (depending on
equipment)
Safety warnings specific for use at height.
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
- Only for use by trained persons. The users must
be trained with regard to tool securing and the use
of tools at heights.
- Always keep the tool tethered when working "at
height". Only use appropriate Metabo brand
lanyard (maximum length is 2 m (6.5 ft) with
sufficient damping capacity). The maximum
permissible fall height for lanyard (tether strap)
must not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft). Use only with
lanyards appropriate for this tool type and rated for
at least the mass of the tool including all used
accessories.
- Read and follow the operating instructions of the
tool securing lanyard!
- Inspect tool (especially the eyelet) and lanyard
before each use for damage and proper function
(including fabric and stitching). Do not use if
damaged or not functioning properly.
- Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your
body. Anchor to a solid mounting option that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
- Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use
near moving parts, mechanisms or running
machinery.
- Do not change the attachment point for the
lanyard on the tool and also do not use it for other
purposes than those described in this manual. - Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking
carabiner. Do not attach by looping or knotting the
lanyard. Do not use rope or cord. Only use
carabiners with two-way locking system. Do not
use single action spring clip carabiners.
- Attach the lanyard in a way that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools will
swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury or
loss of balance.
- Do not attach more than one tool to each lanyard.
- Only use specifically intended attachment points
(eyelet (9)) to attach the lanyard at the tool.
NEVER modify tools to create attachment points.
- Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps
guards, switches or lock-offs from operating
properly.
- Keep lanyard away from the accessory.
- Protect the tool security lanyard from flying sparks
and chips.
