Setting oscillating frequency

When the TurboBoost switch (6) is switched off,
the oscillating speed can be set at the setting
wheel (5). This is also possible during operation.
Recommended oscillating frequency settings:
Plastic materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1-2
Metal, Plexiglas, old coats of paint. . . . . . . .3-4
Coarse and fine sanding, polishing, wood . .5
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.

TurboBoost switch

Actuate the TurboBoost switch (6) during opera-
tion to switch on additional power reserves for
maximum material removal rate.

Dust extraction

To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit
the sanding disc such that the holes on the
sanding disc (1) are aligned to the support plate (2).
Own extraction system:
Fit the dust collection box (12) onto the exhaust
nozzle until it engages. To remove, press the
button (11) and pull off the dust collection box (12)
to the rear.
To optimise the extraction performance, empty the
dust collection box (12) in good time and clean the
filter (14).
External extraction system:
Fit dust extraction nozzle (see chapter on Acces-
sories). Connect a suitable extraction device. Use
a suction hose with a 35 mm connector diameter.
See Accessories section.

8 Cleaning, Maintenance

Empty dust collection box (12).
- Open cleaning flap (13).
- Empty dust collection box (12).
- Remove fluted filter (14) and knock off dust stuck
to filter or remove with brush.
- When inserting, ensure that the fluted filter (14) is
inserted in the lateral guides.
The clean the machine regularly, frequently and
thoroughly. Vacuum clean the ventilation slots on
the motor or blow compressed air through the
ventilation slots. Hold the machine firmly at the
same time.
Replacing a worn support plate
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces, etc.) is being sanded, the support plate
inevitably wears faster.
- Use the hexagon spanner (10) to unscrew the
fixing screw (15) on the support plate.
8
- Remove support plate (2).
- For replacement support plates, refer to the
Accessories chapter.
- Mount support plate (2) and rotate until it
engages on carrier disc.
- Insert locking screw (15) again and tighten.
Replacing support plate brake / braking ring
If the idling speed of the support plate increases in
course of time, the braking ring (16) is worn and
must be replaced.
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces, etc.) is being sanded, the braking ring
inevitably wears faster.
- Use the hexagon spanner (10) to unscrew the
fixing screw (15) on the support plate.
- Remove support plate (2).
- Replace the old braking ring (16) with the new
braking ring (see Chapter on Accessories),
ensuring that the new braking ring is in the same
position as the old braking ring. Ensure that the
position of the marking on the braking ring is
correct.
- Mount support plate (2) and rotate until it
engages on carrier disc.
- Insert locking screw (15) again and tighten.

9 Tips and Tricks

Do not press the device too firmly against the
surface being sanded. This does not improve, but
rather impairs, the sanding performance.
To optimise the extraction performance, empty the
dust collection box (12) in good time and clean the
fluted filter (14).
Use a suitable sanding disc to achieve the best
possible work results:
Removal of old paint layers = P 40
Pre-sanding of wood = P 60, P 80
Finishing of wood = P 100, P 120
Sanding of veneers, sealing primer, filler, paint =
P 180, P 240, P 320, P 400

10 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they
need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.
