plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
6
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3 Special Safety Instructions

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
For your own protection and the
protection of your power tool,
observe the passages marked by
this symbol!
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Take care to avoid gas, electricity, and water
supplies!
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch.
When the safety clutch responds, switch off the
machine immediately!
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
Hold the power tool only at insulated housing
parts if there is any danger of making contact
with concealed electric cables or the supply
cable. Contact with live wires energises the metal
parts of the housing and can cause electric shock
to the operator.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws
into hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or high reverse torques may build up.
High forces are released if the tool jams or
catches. Always hold the tool firmly, ensure you
have good footing and concentrate when working.
Secure small workpieces. Clamp in a vice for
example.
