Remove chips and similar material only when the machine is at a standstill. Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps). LED light (14): do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments. CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power 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 chemically treated 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 wellventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body. Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations 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 towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits, - use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers, - ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust. - Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear. 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 ENGLISH en from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape). 5. Figures Illustrations are provided at the beginning of the operating instructions.

Use 7.1 Electronic safety shutdown In case of sudden rotation of the power tool around the drill axis, e.g. due to catching/jamming of the accessory, the machine switches off automatically - for better control of the machine and high user protection compared to machines without this func- tion. 13
