Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
LED light (5): do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.
Additional Warnings:
Some dust created by power
WARNING
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
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).

5. Initial Operation/Setting
Remove battery pack from the machine before
carrying out any setting, retrofitting,
maintenance or cleaning. Ensure that the machine
is switched off when the battery pack is switched
off.
5.1
The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch
(4) is released.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: the machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
5.2
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (7) before use. Charge the
battery pack again if the performance drops.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power, LiHD" have a
capacity and signal indicator (9):
- Press the button (8), the LEDs indicate the charge
level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release button (11) and pull
the battery pack (7) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (7) until it engages.
