Overview; Special Product Features - Metabo PE 12-175 Instructions For Use Manual

ENGLISH
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it
becomes necessary to remove dust, first
disconnect the power tool from the mains supply
(use non-metallic objects) and avoid damaging
internal components.
Ensure that the speed specified on the tool is
equal to, or greater than, the maximum speed of
the machine.
Ensure that the tool dimensions match those of
the machine.
Tools must be stored and handled with care in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Ensure that tools are installed in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the tool and if required.
Prior to use, ensure that the tool is properly fitted
and secured. Run the tool in idling for 30 seconds
in a safe position and bring to a standstill
immediately if there are significant vibrations or if
other deficiencies are determined. If such a
situation occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adapters to adapt tools with a large hole.
In the case of tools with threaded inserts, ensure
that the thread is long enough to accommodate
the spindle length.
Secure the workpiece firmly.
Use only dry tools!
Keep hands away from the rotating tool - risk of
injury!
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not
constitute a risk to the user or other personnel
and are not able to ignite inflammable
substances. Endangered areas must be protected
with flame-resistant covers. Make sure that fire-
risk areas are always provided with suitable fire
extinguishers.
Always wear eye goggles and hearing protection.
Use other available protective equipment such as
protective gloves, suitable protective work
clothing and helmet.
The tool continues running after the machine has
been switched off.
