long you or bystanders are being exposed.

Do not let particles enter the body.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work 

in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved 

safety equipment, such as dust masks that are 

specially designed to filter out microscopic 

particles.

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, 

staff, application and place of application (e.g. 

occupational health and safety regulations, 

disposal).

Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid 

deposits in the surrounding area. 

Use suitable accessories for special work (see 

chapter 11.), thus less 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 at yourself or nearby persons 

or on dust deposits.

- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers

- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and 

keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or 

blowing stirs up dust

- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not 

blow, beat or brush

Transport of li-ion battery packs:

The shipping of li-ion battery pack 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).

6.1 Attaching the additional handle

Always work with the additional handle 

attached (10)! Attach the additional handle on 

the left or right of the machine and secure. Attach 

the additional handle to the side facing away from 

the sanding belt (6). 

6.2 Turning the sanding head (8) to 

operating position

Loosen the locking screw (9) using the hexagon 

spanner and, if necessary and depending on the 

task at hand, turn the sanding head (8). The sanding 

head must be positioned in the permitted working 

area as shown (see illustration A, page 2). Firmly 

tighten the locking screw (9). 

Each time before you start work, verify that the 

locking screw (9) is sufficiently tightened to 

ensure that the sanding head (8) does not move. 

Otherwise, the sanding belt (6) may come in contact 

with the user. Loss of control can cause personal 

injury.

6.3 Dust filter

See illustration C on page 2.

Always fit the dust filter if the surroundings are 

heavily polluted (17).

The machine heats up faster when the dust 

filter is fitted (17). It is protected by the 

electronics system from overheating (see 

chapter9.).

To fit:

See fig. page 2. Attach the dust filter (17) as shown.

To remove:

Holding the dust filter at the edges, raise it slightly 

(17) and then pull it downwards and remove.

6.4 Rotating battery pack

See illustration C on page 2.

The rear section of the machine can be rotated 270° 

in three stages, thus allowing the machine's shape 

to be adapted to the working conditions. Only 

operate the machine when it is in an engaged 

position.

6.5 Battery pack 

Charge the battery pack before use (16).

If performance diminishes, recharge the battery 

pack.

The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 

30°C.

"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and 

signal indicator: (15)

- Press the button  (14), the LEDs indicate the 

charge level.

- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost 

flat and must be recharged.
