2. General Safety Instructions

Always observe the following basic safety precautions when operating power tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

2.1 Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.2 Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

2.3 Personal Safety

• Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses or goggles.
• Wear hearing protection when operating the grinder for extended periods.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

4. Setup and Assembly

4.1 Attaching the Side Handle

The side handle can be screwed into either the left or right side of the gear housing, depending on user preference and application. Ensure it is tightened securely before operation.

4.2 Installing the Protective Guard

The protective guard is twist-proof and essential for safety. Loosen the clamping screw, position the guard to cover the grinding disc and direct sparks away from you, then tighten the screw firmly.

4.3 Mounting the Grinding Disc

1. Ensure the grinder is unplugged.
2. Press the spindle lock button to prevent the spindle from rotating.
3. Place the inner flange onto the spindle.
4. Position the grinding disc onto the inner flange, ensuring it sits flat.
5. Screw the outer flange (locking nut) onto the spindle.
6. Use the spanner wrench to firmly tighten the outer flange.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

To switch the grinder on, slide the power switch forward. For continuous operation, push the switch further forward until it locks. To switch off, release the switch or press the rear part of the switch if it is locked.

5.2 Grinding Techniques

• Always hold the grinder firmly with both hands.
• Allow the disc to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
• Apply moderate pressure. Excessive pressure can overload the motor and reduce disc life.
• Maintain a consistent angle (typically 15-30 degrees for grinding) to the workpiece.
• Move the grinder smoothly across the surface.
• Ensure sparks are directed away from yourself and others, and away from flammable materials.

6.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the ventilation slots of the grinder to prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.

The grinder is equipped with auto-stop carbon brushes. When the brushes wear down, the tool will automatically shut off to prevent motor damage. Carbon brushes should be replaced by qualified personnel using original Metabo spare parts.
