- Place the new sanding belt on the rollers so that
the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt is
aligned with the arrow (11) on the housing.

- Ensure that the sanding belt is completely on the
rollers.
- Adjust the belt run (see chapter 6.5).
9. Troubleshooting
9.1 Mains powered machines
- Overload protection: There is a MAJOR
reduction in load speed. The motor temperature
is too high! Allow the machine to run at idle speed
until it has cooled down.
- Overload protection: There is a SLIGHT
reduction in load speed. The machine is over-
loaded. Reduce the load before continuing to
work.
- Metabo S-automatic safety shutdown: The
machine was SWITCHED OFF automatically. If
the rate of current increase is too high (if the
machine seizes suddenly), the machine switches
off. Switch off the machine at the slide switch (7).
Switch it on again and continue to work as normal.
Try to prevent the machine from seizing.
- Restart protection: The machine does not
start. The restart protection is active. If the mains
plug is inserted with the machine switched on, or if
the current supply is restored following an inter-
ruption, the machine does not start up. Switch the
machine off and on again.
9.2 Cordless machines
- The electronic signal display (5) lights up and
the load speed decreases. The temperature is
too high! Run the machine in idling until the elec-
tronics signal indicator switches off.
- The electronic signal display (5) flashes and
the machine does not start. The restart protec-
tion is active. The machine will not start if the
battery pack is inserted while the machine is on.
Switch the machine off and on again.

12. Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In
accordance with European Guideline 2002/
96/EC on used electronic and electric equipment
and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.
Special instructions for cordless machines:
Battery packs must not be disposed of with regular
waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your
Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with
water!
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the
power tool. Prevent the contacts from short-circu-
iting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).

The technical specifications quoted are subject to
tolerances (in compliance with the relevant valid
standards).
RBE 9-60: Energy-rich, high-frequency interference
can cause fluctuations in speed. However, the
fluctuations disappear as soon as the interference
fades away.
Emission values
Using these values, you can estimate the
emissions from this power tool and compare these
with the values emitted by other power tools. The
actual values may be higher or lower, depending on
the particular application and the condition of the
tool or power tool. In estimating the values, you
should also include work breaks and periods of low
use. Based on the estimated emission values,
specify protective measures for the user - for
example, any organisational steps that must be put
in place.
