render exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"

and give the operator an electric shock.

k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or

snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

I) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may catch the surface and pull

the power tool out of your control.

m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the

accessory into your body.

n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan draws dust into the housing.

o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-

mable materials. Sparks could ignite these mate-

rials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution or shock.

4.1 Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory

pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or

jamming causes the rotating accessory to stop

abruptly, which in turn forces the uncontrolled

power tool in the direction against the accessory’s

rotation at the point of jamming.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can

be avoided by taking proper precautions as given

below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to

resist kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary

handle for maximum control over kickback or

torque reaction during start-up. The operator

can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if

proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. The accessory may kickback over your

hand.

c) Do not allow your body to enter the area

where the power tool would move if kickback

occurs. Kickback will propel the power tool in the

opposite direction of the accessory’s movement at

the point of jamming.

d) Use special care when working around

corners, sharp edges etc. You must prevent

accessories from bouncing off the power tool

and becoming jammed. A rotating accessory

tends to jam around corners and sharp edges and

also if bouncing occurs, thus causing loss of control

or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create

frequent kickback and loss of control.

4.2 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding

with Diamond Cup Wheels:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and the specific guard

designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed cannot be

adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) The safety guard must be securely attached

to the power tool. Always direct the power tool

so that the wheel is not openly exposed to the

operator. The guard helps to protect the operator

from broken fragments, accidental contact with the

wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are the correct size and shape for your selected

accessories. The correct flanges support the

accessories.

4.3 Additional Safety Instructions

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

Observe the specifications of the accessory manu-

facturer! Protect the accessories from grease and

physical impact.

Accessories must be stored and handled with care

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

The workpiece must be seated firmly and be

secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large

workpieces must be supported adequately.

If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the

end of the spindle may not touch the base of the

hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread

in the accessory is long enough to accommodate

the full length of the spindle. The thread in the

accessory must match the thread on the spindle.

See page 3 and chapter 14. Technical Specifica-

tions for more information on the spindle length and

thread.

Impurities that manage to enter the

machine may block the switching

mechanism. This is why, when the machine is

running, it is necessary to blow compressed air

through the rear ventilation slots of the machine

regularly, frequently and thoroughly. The machine

must be held firmly in this case.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead,

some wood species, minerals and metal may be

harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may

cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases

to the operator or bystanders.

Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic,

such as quartz, oak and beech dust, especially in

conjunction with additives for wood conditioning

(chromate, wood preservative).

- For efficient dust collection, use a suitable

Metabo (M-class) vacuum cleaner together

with this power tool.
