The user bears sole responsibility for damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference!
The term
"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Operating Instructions
Dear Customer,
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us by buying a Metabo power tool. Each Metabo power tool
is carefully tested and subject to strict quality controls by Metabo's quality assurance. Nevertheless, the
service life of a power tool depends to a great extent on you. Please observe the information contained
in these instructions and the enclosed documentation. The more carefully you treat your Metabo power
tool, the longer it will provide dependable service.

ENGLISH
ENG
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have theswitch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury
.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts
.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed
.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety mea ures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users
.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control
.
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
For your own protection and the protec-
tion of your power tool, observe the
passages marked by this symbol!
Keep all enclosed documentation for future refer-
ence, and pass on your power tool only together
with this documentation.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Beware of gas/water pipes and electric cables!
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws
into hard materials (driving screws with metric or

imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or a high reverse torque may build up.
The machine produces powerful forces when
seizing or catching the workpiece. Always hold the
machine firmly, adopt a steady stance and focus
on your work.
Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.
