en ENGLISH Caution! Never press the locking button (7) when the machine is running (nor when it is slowing down)! Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. (See chapter 11.) See fig. , page 3. - Set max. cutting depth (see chapter6.3). - Press the spindle locking button (7), (with the other hand) rotate the front diamond cut-off wheel (18) slowly until the spindle locking button engages perceptibly and - with the pressed spindle locking button (7) unscrew the clamping nut (17) with the supplied 2hole spanner (anti-clockwise). The clamping flange (19) must always be fitted onto the spindle with the sheath facing out (as shown in the pictures (A) - (F). Pay attention that the clamping flange (19), in relation to the spindle, cannot be turned. Fit the diamond cut-off wheels and pay attention to the correct direction of rotation. The direction of rotation is specified by arrows (16) on the diamond cut-off wheels and on the guard (15). Arrangement of the spacer rings (20) and the diamond cut-off wheels (according to desired groove width) as in the pictures (A) - (E). Note: Using the machine with only one diamond cut-off wheel: If you remove the front diamond cut-off wheel and leave only the rear wheel on the machine, the wall chaser is then suited for cutting through materials (e.g. tiles). (See page 3, fig. F.). Note: (see page 3, fig. G.) Use of the machine with a diamond cutting disc (see chapter 11. accessories): To be able to attach the diamond cutting disc, you must remove the clamping flange (19) from the spindle and remove from the guard (15). Now put the diamond cutting disc on the clamping flange (19), insert from below into the guard and put onto the spindle. Pay attention that the clamping flange (19), in relation to the spindle, cannot be turned. Put on spacer rings (20) as shown in image (G). Lock the spindle by pressing the spindle locking button (7) and tighten the clamping nut (17) with the two-hole wrench (14) (clock-wise direction). Carry out a test run: Set min. cutting depth (see chapter6.3). Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time. Stop immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check the machine to determine the cause. 6.3 Setting cutting depth After undoing the clamping lever (4) you can set the 14 desired cutting depth using the scale (3). Retighten the clamping lever (4). Note: If required, the position / the clamping force of the clamping lever (4) must be changed. To do this, pull out the lever a bit, turn the lever and lower again (see fig. A, page 2). 6.4 Attaching the dust extraction Caution! Never work without a dust extraction device. Dusts can be harmful to health! Never work without a dust extraction device. The motor can quickly choke on stone dust. Use a suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner. Use only anti-static suction hoses. To extract the stone dust generated when working with the wall chaser, put the suction hose 631370000 (4 m) onto the extraction nozzle (8). 7. Use 7.1 Switching on and off Always guide the machine with both hands. Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece. Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate. Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust and chips. After switching off the machine, only place it down when the motor has come to a standstill. Torque activation: Switching on: Slide the lock (1) in the direction of the arrow and press the trigger switch (2). Switching off: release the trigger switch (2). Continuous operation: Switching on: Slide the lock (1) in the direction of the arrow, press the trigger switch (2) and keep it pressed. The machine is now switched on. Now slide the lock (1) in the direction of the arrow once more to lock the trigger switch (2) (continuous operation). Switching off: Press the trigger switch (2) and release. 7.2 Working With the Wall Chaser Always guide the machine with both hands on the handles (12) and (13). On the guard there are markings (6). The markings are in the extension of the rear diamond cutting disc and serve - when cutting grooves - as cutting indicator. Place the wall chaser (with the motor switched on) with the support wheels (9) on the surface into
