7.3 Switching On and Off
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in a
safe position and concentrate.
To switch on:
Push the slide switch (3) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt down-
wards until it engages.
To switch off:
Press the rear end of the slide switch
(3) and release it.
7.4 Setting the speed (equipment-
dependent)
GE 700 Basic, GE 700, GE 900 Plus:
The speed can be preset via the thumb-wheel (4)
and is infinitely variable.
For speeds see table on page 3.
7.5 Working instructions
Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the work-
piece does not become too hot.
Separating:
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 suit-
able for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the work-
piece does not become too hot.
8. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.

9. Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must be carried out
by qualified electricians ONLY!
If you have Metabo electrical tools that require
repairs, please contact your Metabo service centre.
For addresses see www.metabo.com.
You can download spare parts lists from
www.metabo.com.
10. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In
accordance with European Guideline 2002/
96/EC on used electronic and electric equipment
and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.

Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions)
determined in accordance with EN 60745:
a
h, SG
= Vibration emission value
(sanding surfaces)
K
h,SG
= Unsafe (vibration)
The vibration emission level given in this informa-
tion sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be
used to compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents
the main applications of the tool. However if the tool
is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration
should also take into account the times when the
tool is switched off or when it is running but not actu-
ally doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the
operator from the effects of vibration such as: mai
