4. Special Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the belt 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.
When sanding metals:
Connect the machine to a suitable extraction device
after removing wood dust (from machine, hose,
extraction device) - risk of dust explosion and fire
through sparks created when sanding metal!
Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the
risk of fire, all combustible materials must be
removed from the work area (area affected by flying
sparks).
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 oak and beech dust especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Use a dust extractor or the dust bag where
possible.
- To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a
suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together with this
tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health must not be processed.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
loss of hearing.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
handles provided. Loss of control can lead to
injuries.
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
