parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

3. Special Safety Instructions

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
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Use a dust extractor or the dust collection box
where possible.
- To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a
suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together with this
tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recom-
mended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjust-
ments or servicing are performed.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of
time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of
time may affect your hearing.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be
harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
