The support flange (16) must always be fitted onto
the spindle with the sheath facing out (as shown in
the pictures (a) – (d). Pay attention to ensure that
the support flange (16) cannot be rotated.
Fit the diamond cut-off wheels and pay
attention to the correct direction of
rotation. The direction of rotation is specified by
arrows on the diamond cut-off wheels and on the
guard (10).
Arrangement of the spacer rings (17) and the
diamond cut-off wheels (according to desired
groove width) as in the pictures (a) – (d).
Lock the spindle by pressing the locking button (13)
and tighten the sheath (11) with the two-hole
wrench.
Then swing the guard (10) and guide shoe (12)
back into place, screw in the hex screw (4) and
tighten the hex screw (8) up again.
Carry out a test run: Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other
defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
8. Using the machine with only
one diamond cut-off wheel
If you remove the front diamond cut-off wheel and
leave only the rear wheel on the machine, the wall
chaser is then suited for cutting through materials
(e.g. tiles).

9. Depth of cut

After undoing the cross handled screw (2) you can
set the desired cutting depth using the scale (1).
Tighten the cross handled screw (2) back up again.
10. Extracting the stone dust
Caution! Never work without a dust extraction
device. Dusts can be harmful to health!
Never work without a dust extraction device.
The motor can quickly choke on stone dust.
Use a suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner.
To extract stone dust generated during work with
the wall chaser, insert the suction hose 30 344 (4 m)
in the aperture of the extraction unit (6). The
bayonet catch prevents the suction hose from
coming loose while the machine is in operation.
Using a second suction hose 6.30344 allows you to
set up the extraction unit at a distance of up to 8 m
from the work place.
(Suction hose not included in scope of delivery).
To connect a suction hose without a bayonet catch,
use the connection adapter provided.

11. Switching on and off

Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust
and chips. After switching off the machine,
only place it down when the motor has come to a
standstill.
Switching on: Push the slide switch (15) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt
downwards until it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide
switch (15) and release it.
