4.8 Safety instructions for battery packs:
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-Ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting
the battery pack.
Hold the machine when removing and inserting the
battery pack so that the on/off switch cannot be
unintentionally pressed.
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Transport of Li-Ion battery packs:
The shipping of Li-Ion battery packs is subject to
laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack
from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts
from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with
adhesive tape).

6. Initial Operation

6.1 Attaching the additional handle
Always work with the additional handle (19)
attached! Attach the additional handle on the
left or right of the machine and secure.
6.2 Attach the safety guard
For safety reasons, always use the safety
guard provided for the respective wheel! See
also chapter 11. Accessories!
Safety guard for grinding
Designed for work with roughing wheels, adhesive
flap sanding pads, diamond cutting discs.
See illustration H on page 2.
- Push and hold the lever (23). Place the safety
guard (20) in the position indicated.
- Release the lever and turn the safety guard until
the lever engages.
- Push the lever and turn the safety guard until the
closed section is facing the operator.
- Make sure that the guard is attached securely:
The lever must engage and you should not be able
to turn the safety guard.
6.3 Dust filter
See illustration B on page 2.
Always fit the dust filter (12) if the surroundings
are heavily polluted.
The machine heats up faster when the dust
filter (12) is fitted. It is protected by the
electronics system from overheating (see Section
10.).
To fit:
Fit the dust filter (12) as shown.
Removal:
Holding the dust filter (12) at the edges, raise it
slightly and then pull it downwards and remove.
6.4 Rotating battery pack
See illustration D on page 2.
The rear section of the machine can be rotated 270°
in 3 stages, thus allowing the machine's shape to be
adapted to the working conditions. Only operate the
machine when it is in an engaged position.
Use only accessories that
are covered by at least 3.4
mm by the safety guard.
(Disassemble in reverse
order.)
