6.1

Installation of sanding disc

Simple attachment and removal thanks to the
velcro-type fastening. Simply press on the sanding
disc so that the holes in the sanding disc (1) are
aligned with the support plate (2).
7. Use
7.1 On/Off switch, continuous activation
Press the trigger switch (5) to switch on the
machine.
The trigger switch can be locked using the lock
button (7) for continuous operation. Press the
trigger switch (5) again to stop the machine.
7.2 Setting the oscillating frequency
Set the oscillating frequency on the adjustment
wheel (4). This can also be done during operation.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 Dust extraction
To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit the
sanding disc (1) so that the holes on the sanding
disc are aligned to the support plate (2).
Note: We recommend connecting a suitable
extraction device when sanding abrasive material
(e.g. plaster, etc.).
Own extraction units:
Fit dust bag (8) to the ejection nozzle (3). Pull the
dust bag (8) backwards to remove it.
Empty the dust bag (8) in good time to optimise dust
extraction.
Third-party extraction units:
Pull the dust bag (8) backwards.
Connect a suitable extraction device to the ejection
nozzle (3).
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Emptying the dust bag:
Remove the closure band (9). Empty the dust bag
(8), clean with an extraction device if necessary.
Close the dust bag again with the closure band (9).
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Replacing a worn support plate
- Remove the locking screw (10) of the support
plate.
- Remove support plate (2).
- Refer to the Accessories chapter for replacement
support plates with velcro-type fastening.
- Mount support plate (2) and rotate until it engages
on carrier disc.
- Insert locking screw (10) again and tighten.
10
Clean the support plate as required (vacuum off
the dust). This increases the service life of the
velcro-type fastening.
Replacing a support plate brake / braking ring
If the idle speed of the support plate increases in
course of time, the braking ring (11) is worn and
must be replaced.
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. gypsum, etc.) is
being sanded, the braking ring inevitably wears
faster.
- Remove the locking screw (10) of the support
plate.
- Remove support plate (2).
- Replace the old braking ring (11) with the new
braking ring (order no.: 344099810), ensuring
that the new braking ring is in the same position as
the old braking ring.
- Mount support plate (2) and rotate until it engages
on carrier disc.
- Insert locking screw (10) again and tighten.
9. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Note: Metabo accessories are adapted to suit the
machine's velcro-type fastening. This increases the
service life of the velcro-type fastening.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
