Metabo MFE 40 Operating Instructions - Page 13

Diamond cut-off wheels must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the diamond cut-off wheels are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding media and if required. Ensure the sparks emitted during use do not pose any risk, for example, to the user or other personnel and are not able to ignite inflammable substances. Areas at risk must be protected with flame-resistant covers. Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when working in areas prone to fire risk. The diamond cut-off wheels continue running after the machine has been switched off. Always wear protective goggles, dust mask, gloves, ear protectors and sturdy shoes when working with this tool. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls (static). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. A damaged or cracked side handle must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a defective side handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard. Do not switch on the tool if parts or guard devices are missing or defective. Reducing dust exposure: Some of the dust created using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long you or people nearby are exposed to them. Do not let particles enter the body. Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles. Observe the relevant guidelines 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. ENGLISH en 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 at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits. - use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers. - ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust. - Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush. 5.

Initial Operation 6.1 Mains connection Before commissioning, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the type plate match your power supply. Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream. Pay attention to a possibly short feed line and a large line cross-section of the mains cable. 6.2 Use / change diamond cut-off wheels, set groove width Switch off the machine. Disconnect the mains plug! 13
