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 misalignment 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.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, 
some wood species, minerals and metal may be 
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may 
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases 
to the operator or bystanders. 
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic 
such as oak and beech dust especially in 
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning 
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing 
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Use a dust extractor or the dust collection box 
where possible.
- To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a 
suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together with this 
tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is 
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you 
want to work with.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any 
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods 
of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of 
time may affect your hearing.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may 
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be 
processed.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the 
help of clamping devices.
