7. Tips and Tricks

7.1 Guiding the paint remover
Always use two hands to guide the paint remover
backwards where possible over the surface of the
workpiece being processed. When holding the
paint remover down, ensure that the low pressure
exerted is distributed evenly over the area of the
planing base.
7.2 Presenting the tool to the edge of a
workpiece
A
See diagram A: Hold the paint remover parallel with
the surface of the workpiece. When presenting the
tool, ensure that the planing base is in contact with
the largest possible area of the surface (10).
7.3 Operation
B
See diagram B: Guide the paint remover in such a
way that the planing base (10) is always positioned
on the surface that has not yet been processed. If
you proceed as shown, a narrow section is left over.
See figure C: You can remove this section by setting
the cutting depth to 0 mm (see section 6.3) and now
always guide the planing base (10) over the
processed surface.
7.4 Smoothing
Reduce the cutting depth to achieve a smooth
surface finish.

8. Maintenance

Danger of injury from the sharp edges of the
reversible blades. Effect maintenance work
only when the cutter head is idle! Switch off paint
remover and pull the mains plug from the socket!
Always wear personal protective equipment,
safety goggles, ear protectors, protective
gloves and heavy-duty footwear during work and for
all setting, conversion and maintenance tasks!
8.1 Cleaning the reversible blades
Paint might build up under the cutting edges of the
reversible blades. In this case, clean the edges of
the reversible blades using the graver (8).
8.2 Turn/replace the reversible blades
Use original Metabo reversible blades only.

Order no.: 6.31660 (10 pieces)
Blunt edges of the reversible blades increase
the danger that the paint remover jams during
the milling operation and kicks back. Therefore turn/
replace blunt reversible blades in good time!
If required, clean Torx of the reversible blades using
a graver (8).
