en ENGLISH
5.3 Pivotable main handle
Only work with the main handle (15) engaged.
See illustration C on page 2.
- Push in the button (16).
- The main handle (15) can now be turned 90° to
both sides and can be engaged.
- Make sure that it is securely positioned: the main
handle (15) must be engaged and it should not be
possible to move it.
5.4 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (12) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Battery packs have a capacity and signal display (6)
(depends on design variant):
- Press the button (5); the LEDs indicate the charge
level.

recharged if one LED is flashing.
WPB 36-18 ...:
- Use always two Metabo 18-Volt slide-on battery
packs.
- Recommended capacity 5.5 Ah and greater.
- We recommend the use of battery packs with
identical item number.
The use of battery packs with different capacity (Ah)
is permitted. In this case, the battery pack with the
smaller capacity (Ah) determines the useful life.
Safety clip:
Battery packs with the designation "DS" have a
safety clip (19) (see fig. B, page 4). This feature is
part of a multi-piece system with the purpose to
prevent battery packs from falling when working at
heights.

See illustration A on page 2.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release (11) button and
remove the battery pack (12).
Inserting:

Securing the 2-hole nut (9):
The 2 sides of the 2-hole nut are different. Screw the
2-hole nut onto the spindle as follows:
See illustration E on page 2.
- X) For thin grinding discs:
The edge of the 2-hole nut (9) faces upwards so
that the thin grinding disc can be attached
securely.
Y) For thick grinding discs:
The edge of the 2-hole nut (9) faces downwards
so that the 2-hole nut can be attached securely to
the spindle.

always switch it off when the battery pack is
removed from the machine.
Always hold the machine with both hands on
the designated handles, take a secure stance
and concentrate on the work.
