allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.
4.5 Special safety instructions for cordless
tools:
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
Remove the battery pack from the machine
when not in use.
Remove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before
fitting the battery pack.
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-Ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Transport of Li-Ion battery packs:
The shipping of Li-Ion battery packs is subject to
laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack

from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts
from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with
adhesive tape).
