Assembly, Initial Operation, Setting - Metabo SSE 18 LTX BL Original Instructions Manual

Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is
free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes
(e.g. using a metal detector).
When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not
contain any water.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Do not reach under the workpiece while the
machine is in operation.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
Clamp the workpiece firmly. Under no
circumstances should you hold the workpiece with
your hand or foot.
Only use sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not
use saw blades that are cracked or that have
changed their shape.
For sawing, the guide must make secure contact
with the workpiece.
Always hold the machine with both hands at the
intended handles, take a secure stance and
concentrate on the work.
Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade.
Do not touch the moving saw blade! Remove chips
and similar material only with the machine at
standstill.
Remove the battery pack from the machine when
not in use.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.
