kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Only for WEV 15-125 HT, WEV 15-150 HT,
WEV 17-125 Quick Inox: Safety Warnings
Specific for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to
spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
3.7
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Instructions:
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the grinding media and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use cutting discs for roughing work! Do not
apply pressure to the side of the cutting discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
Use only accessories that
are covered by at least 3.4
mm by the safety guard.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 4-5 and chapter 13. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Always install an RCD with a max. trip current of 30
mA upstream. If the angle grinder is shut down via
the RCD, it must be checked and cleaned. See
chapter 8. Cleaning.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine
immediately!
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.
Additional Warnings:
Some dust created by power
WARNING
sanding, sawing, grinding,
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.
