Be aware of the risk of injury
presented by the sharp
cutting edges of the
reversible blades.
Be aware of the rotating
cutterhead.
Remember that your paint
remover’s motor, and the cutterhead with it,
run on after the tool is switched off.
Use a vacuum extraction device with the tool.
The dust generated during operation is often
injurious to health (e.g. when processing oak
and beech woods, or paintwork which may
contain lead or other harmful materials). This
dust must not
be allowed to penetrate the body. Use dust-
extraction equipment as well as wearing a
suitable dust mask.
Remove any accumulations of dust thoroughly,
using a suitable vacuum cleaner.
Avoid the possibility of your power tool being
switched on accidentally:
Switch your power tool off every time it is
disconnected from the mains supply or if the
power supply has been interrupted.
Do not process any workpiece surfaces in
which nails, screws or other such obstacles
may be encountered.
Turn or replace blunt blades in good time: if
the cutting edges on the blades are blunt,
there is an increased risk of kickback and the
quality of the processed surface will
deteriorate.
Always turn or replace blunt blades in pairs.
Opening the protection flaps
Caution: Beware of sharp cutting edges!
Switch off machine.
Milling head must be at
a total standstill!
A
: Open the protection flap as indicated and
B
: fold flap up into the fully-open position.
Protection flaps
When milling plane surfaces all protection
flaps must be closed. When carrying out peri-
pheral milling (e.g. on rebates) only open the
protection flap pointing to the workpiece.
Metabo Sautomatic safety clutch:
If the insertion tool jams or
hooks, the power flow to the
engine will be restricted.
Because of the high power
which then arises, always
hold the machine with both
hands on the handles, stand
safely, and concentrate on
your work.
6 Operation
Before initial use, check that the mains voltage
and mains frequency stated on the rating plate
match the figures for your own mains supply.
Always work with an
extraction system to
guarantee perfect machine
operation.
Guide the machine with both hands
on the handles.
