8 Use

8.1 Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When
switching the machine on and off, keep it away
from dust deposits. After switching off the
machine, only place it down when the motor has
come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands at the intended handles, take a secure
stance and concentrate on the work.
See illustration A on page 3.

Continuous operation (depending on features)
Switching on: Slide the lock (4) in the direction of
the arrow, press the trigger (5) and keep it

8.2 Working instructions
Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Roughing: position the machine at an angle of 30°
- 40° for the best working results.
Separating:
Always work against the run of the
disc (see illustration). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
kicking back from the cut out of
control. Guide the machine evenly at
a speed suitable for the material being processed.
Do not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side
to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.

9 Cleaning

Motor cleaning: blow compressed air through the
rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,
frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must
be held firmly.
Button (6) for adjustment of the handle
(depending on features): Occasionally blow
compressed air through the button (when pressed,
in all 3 main handle positions).

10 Troubleshooting

- Switching on procedures produce brief reduc-
tions in voltage. Unfavourable power conditions
can be detrimental to other devices. Power
impedances smaller than 0.2 ohm should not
cause any malfunction.

11 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
The dealer needs to know the exact model desig-
nation of your power tool in order to select the
correct accessory.
