Special Product Features
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch
If the tooling jams, the torque
of the machine will be
restricted. As the torque is still
very high always hold the
machine with both hands on
the handles and stand safely,
and concentrate on your work.
Marathon-Motor
The dust-protected Metabo
Marathon-Motor with its
Metabo winding-protection grid
and powder-coated coil
winding ensures up to 50%
longer service life.
Wheel guard
The wheel guard requires no tools for adjustment.
This allows it to be adjusted for a variety of
applications in a matter of seconds.
Auto-stop carbon brushes
When the auto-stop carbon brushes wear down to
a predetermined level the power tool is
automatically switched off, thus ruling out the
possibility of damage to the armature.
Additional side handle with vibration damping
(depending on scope of supply):
For comfortable work in continuous operation.
VC/VTC/TC electronic speed-control system
(depending on equipment)
This electronic control system ensures the correct
grinding speed for the relevant material (VC/VTC)
and maintains close to a constant speed, even
under load (VC/VTC/TC).
The Vario-Tacho-Constamatic (VTC)/ Tacho-
Constamatic (TC) electronic system also features
starting-current limitation, electronically-
controlled, smooth start-up, coil-temperature
monitoring and an electronic restart safety device.
Refer to the Technical Specifications for the
equipment level for your specific angle grinder.

Assembly, Initial Use
Before initial use, check that the mains
voltage and mains frequency stated on
the rating plate match the figures for
your own mains supply.
Fit side-handle
For reasons of safety, always fit the side
handle (5) to the right or left-hand side
of the angle grinder before commencing
work.
Fit wheel guard
(before working with the grinding disc)
Use correct guard for type of wheel
being used. See sections 12.4 and 12.5
for cup wheel guard and cut-off wheel
guard.
Remove the clamping nut (12) or the Quick
clamping nut (11) and the inner flange (10) from
the spindle. When fitting the wheel guard (4) to
the angle grinder, ensure that the notch on the
wheel guard coincides with the corresponding
marking on the tool itself.
Turn the wheel guard so that the closed
area is towards the operator.
Connect to mains supply.
With VTC, TC electronic system (depending on
equipment):
The red electronic system indicator (6) lights up
briefly when the mains connection is made, thus
indicating standby mode.
