Metabo WEPBA 17-125 Quick Operating Instructions 2 - Page 19

Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of 30° - 40° for the best working results. Cutting-off operations: Always work against the run of the disc (see illustration). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine kicking back from the cut out of control. Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to side. Wire brushing: Press down the machine evenly. 8.4 Rotate gear housing See illustration E on page 3. - Disconnect from the power supply. - Unscrew the fastening screw (a) of the lever (16). Remove the screw, lever (with its sheet metal part) and put aside. - Unscrew the 4 gear housing screws (b). CAUTION! Do not remove the gear housing! - Turn the gear housing to the desired position without removing it. - Screw in the 4 gear housing screws (b) in the available threads! Tightening torque = 3.0 Nm +/0.3 Nm. - Slide the spring that pushes the lever in position to the side and re-insert the lever (16) (with its sheet metal part), and fix with the fastening screw (a). Tightening torque = 5.0 Nm +/- 0.5 Nm. Check the lever for correct function: it has to be under spring tension. 9. Cleaning It is possible that particles deposit inside the power tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the protective insulation of the power tool and cause electrical hazards. The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air. Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective glasses and dust mask. 10. Troubleshooting Machines with VTC, TC and VC electronics: The electronic signal display (7) lights up and the load speed decreases. There is too much load on the machine! Run the machine in idling until the electronics signal indicator switches off. Machines with VTC, TC and VC electronics: The electronic signal display (7) flashes and the machine does not start. The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is inserted with the machine switched on, or if the power supply is restored following an interruption, the machine does not start up. Switch the machine off and on again. ENGLISH en 11. Accessories Use only genuine Metabo accessories. See page 5.
