7.2
Installation of sanding disc
Simple attachment and removal thanks to the hook
and loop fastening. Simply press on the sanding
disc (13) such that the holes in the sanding disc are
aligned with the support plate.
7.3
Switching On and Off
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
Avoid switching on the machine accidentally:
always switch it off when the battery pack is
removed from the machine.
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 (8) forward
(continuous operation).
Switching off: Push slide switch (8) backward.
7.4
Setting the oscillating frequency
Set the oscillating frequency on the adjustment
wheel (4). This can also be done during operation.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.5
Working Directions
Sandpaper grinding: The ideal setting is best
determined by a practical test. Apply moderate
pressure on the machine and move it to and fro
across the surface.
Cutting, sawing: Set high oscillation frequency.
Press down the machine evenly. Avoid jamming!
For plunge cuts: A slight tilting movement speeds
up the work progress.
Scraping: Set medium to high oscillation
frequency.
Hold the accessory at a flat angle to the workpiece.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1
The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost empty (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED (10) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost empty. If necessary, press the button (9)
and check the LED lamps (10) to see the charge
level. If the battery pack is almost empty, it must
be recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
10
Note: if the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in an "AIR COOLED"
charger.
Note: the machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. The machine does not run and the LED light
(1) flashes. Restart protection is active. The
machine will not start if the battery pack is
inserted while the machine is on. Switch the
machine off and back on again.
9. Accessories
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance
System) battery packs and accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
Fit accessories securely. If the machine is operated
in a holder: secure the machine well. Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
A Battery chargers: ASC 55, ASC 145, SC 30 and
others.
B Battery packs with different capacities. Buy
battery packs only with voltage suitable for your
power tool.
For a complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or the catalogue.
10. Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must ONLY be
carried out by qualified electricians!

11. Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: never dispose of
power tools in your household waste!
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment
and implementation in national law, used power
tools must be collected separately and recycled in
an environmentally-friendly manner.
Battery packs may not be disposed of with regular
waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your
Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with
water!
Discharge the battery pack in the power tool before
disposal. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting
(e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
