Special Safety Instructions; Initial Operation - Metabo BE 850-2 Mode D'emploi

before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures 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
misalignment 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.
2.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3. Special Safety Instructions

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, 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 could give the
operator an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is
free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes
(e.g. using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured such that they
are not carried along with the drill bit when drilling
(e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench with
screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove
chips and similar material only when the machine is
not in operation.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine
immediately! If the tool jams or catches, the power
supply to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong
force which can arise, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be
used for torque control.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws into
hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break, or a high reverse torque may build up on the
handle.
Additional Warnings:
Some dust created by power
WARNING
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
