used for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long you or people nearby are
exposed to them.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Initial Operation

6.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (8) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
"Li-Power, LiHD" lithium ion battery packs have a
capacity and signal indicator (9):
- Press the button (10), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Remove: Press the battery pack release button (7)
and remove battery pack (8) .
To insert: Slide the battery pack (8) in until it
engages.

Dust/chip extraction

Third-party extraction units
Connect a suitable extraction device to the ejection
nozzle (14).
For optimal dust extraction, use the connecting
sleeve 6.30796.
Own extraction system
Fit dust / chip collection bag (17) to the ejection
nozzle (14) . Empty the dust / chip collection bag
(17) in good time to optimise dust extraction.
Chip ejection
If you work without extraction device or without dust/
chip collection bag: (17) Fit chip ejection adapter
(18) and turn into the desired position.
If the outlet nozzle (14)tends to clog often
(depending on the material and operation), we
recommend unscrewing the outlet nozzle (14) and
to attach the ejection nozzle (15). Note: The parts
(16), (17), (18) cannot be attached to the ejection
nozzle (15).
7. Use
7.1 Setting the planing depth
By turning the knob handle (2) the planing depth
can be set steplessly.
Read the set planing depth on the scale (3).
Set the planing depth only in the range of 0 -
2.0 mm.
7.2

Switching on and off

Switching on: Press and hold in the locking button
(4) , then actuate the trigger (5) .
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (5).
