WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask (filter
class 3).
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the
device or near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only
when the machine is not in operation.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least
equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the
power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its
rated speed can break and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is
correctly attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at
idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other
defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
Additional Warnings:
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 chemicallytreated
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.
3.1 Special safety instructions for mains
powered machines:
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the sanding surface may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Before connecting the mains plug, make sure that
the machine is switched off.
During machining, of metals in
particular, conductive dust can form
deposits inside the machine. This can lead to the
transfer of electrical energy onto the machine

California Prop 65 08_2018
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
housing. This can mean a temporary danger of
electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when the
machine is running to blow compressed air through
the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,
frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must
be held firmly.
It is recommended to use a stationary extraction
system and to place a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) downstream. When the machine is shut
down via the GFCI, it must be checked and cleaned.
See the 7. Cleaning chapter for more information on
cleaning the motor.
3.2 Special safety instructions for cordless
machines:
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
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!
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).
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
