sanders, identified by type and serial number *1), 

comply with all relevant requirements of the 

directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file at *4) 

- see page 3.

The machine is designed for dry sanding of wood, 

materials similar to wood, plastics, metals and 

building materials.
The user bears sole responsibility for damage 

caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention 

regulations and the enclosed safety information 

must be observed.

WARNING

 – Reading the operating 

instructions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and 

instructions.

Failure to follow all safety 

warnings and instructions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information for 

future reference.

Before using the power tool, carefully read through 

and familiarise yourself with all the enclosed safety 

information and the Operating Instructions. Keep all 

enclosed documentation for future reference, and 

pass on your power tool only together with this 

documentation.

For your own protection and for the 

protection of your power tool pay 

attention to all parts of the text that are 

marked with this symbol!

Hold power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces, because the belt may contact its own 

cord.

  Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed 

metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give 

the operator an electric shock.
When sanding metals:

Connect the machine to a suitable extraction device 

after removing wood dust (from machine, hose, 

extraction device) - risk of dust explosion and fire 

through sparks created when sanding metal!

Flying sparks are created when sanding metal. 

Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the 

risk of fire, all combustible materials must be 

removed from the work area (area affected by flying 

sparks).
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 bag 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.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may 

be harmful to health must not be processed.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause 

loss of hearing.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the 

help of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the 

handles provided. Loss of control can lead to 

injuries.
Remove chips and similar material only with the 

machine at standstill.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any 

adjustments or servicing are performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the 

switch when the plug is removed from the mains 

socket or in case of a power cut.
