8.3 Working Directions
Grinding and sanding operations:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of
30° - 40° for the best working results.
Cutting-off operations:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
8.4 Lanyard connection (depending on
equipment)
Safety warnings specific for use at height.
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
- Only for use by trained persons. The users must
be trained with regard to tool securing and the use
of tools at heights.
- Always keep the tool tethered when working "at
height". Only use appropriate metabo brand
lanyard (maximum length is 2 m (6.5 ft) with
sufficient damping capacity). The maximum
permissible fall height for lanyard (tether strap)
must not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft). Use only with
lanyards appropriate for this tool type and rated for

at least the mass of the tool including all used
accessories.
- Read and follow the operating instructions of the
tool securing lanyard!
- Inspect tool (especially the eyelet) and lanyard
before each use for damage and proper function
(including fabric and stitching). Do not use if
damaged or not functioning properly.
- Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your
body. Anchor to a solid mounting option that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
- Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use
near moving parts, mechanisms or running
machinery.
- Do not change the attachment point for the
lanyard on the tool and also do not use it for other
purposes than those described in this manual.
- Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking
carabiner. Do not attach by looping or knotting the
lanyard. Do not use rope or cord. Only use
carabiners with two-way locking system. Do not
use single action spring clip carabiners.
- Attach the lanyard in a way that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools will
swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury or
loss of balance.
- Do not attach more than one tool to each lanyard.
- Only use specifically intended attachment points
(eyelet (10)) to attach the lanyard at the tool.
NEVER modify tools to create attachment points.
- Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps
guards, switches or lock-offs from operating
properly.
- Keep lanyard away from the accessory.
- Protect the tool security lanyard from flying sparks
and chips.
- Protect the tool securing lanyard from sharp
edges, blades, chips, etc. Do not step on the tool
or the tool securing lanyard.
- Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get
additional leverage from the tool.
- Make sure that there is sufficient space in the area
where the tool might hit the floor. No persons must
be endangered in that area.
- Replace the rope after a fall and check the tool for
damage. After each fall, have the machine
checked for damage by a trained specialist and
repaired if necessary.
- Do not try to catch the falling machine. This might
result in injuries.

available threads! Tightening torque = 3.0 Nm +/-
0.3 Nm.
- Slide the spring that pushes the lever in position to
the side and re-insert the lever (17) (with its sheet
metal part), and fix with the fastening screw (a).
