1. Specified Use
The cordless angle grinders, when fitted with
original Metabo accessories, are suitable for
grinding, sanding, cutting-off and wire brushing
metal, concrete, stone and similar materials without
the use of water.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.
2. General Safety Instructions
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury,
user must read instruction manual.
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!
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference! The term
"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
ENGLISH en
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
5
ENGLISHen
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea ures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

3. Special Safety Instructions
3.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) 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.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fit
the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush
for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
wo rk are a. An yone e nteri ng th e work area m ust
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
3.2 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of
the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
ENGLISH en
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
ha ve a te nde ncy to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
3.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
and Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cutoff wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
3.4 Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting
or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your body,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
7
ENGLISHen
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
3.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
3.6 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
3.7 Additional Safety Instructions
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work!
Do not apply pressure to the side of parting grinder
discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
8
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 3 and chapter 13. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.
Always wear protective goggles.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
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.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- 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 (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first remove the battery
pack (use non-metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
3.8 Safety instructions for battery packs:
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
