8.
Use right tool.
Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended —for
example— don't use circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
9.
NEVER use a power tool for applications other
than those specified.
NEVER use a power tool for applications other
than those specified in the Instruction Manual.
10. Handle tool correctly.
Operate the tool according to the instructions
provided herein. Do not drop or throw the tool.
NEVER allow the tool to be operated by children,
individuals unfamiliar with its operation or
unauthorized personnel.
11. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in
place.
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted.
Check their condition periodically.
12. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing
or handle is cracked.
Cracks in the tool's housing or handle can lead
to electric shock. Such tools should not be used
until repaired.
13. Blades and accessories must be securely
mounted to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to youself or others.
Blades, cutting implements and accessories which
have been mounted to the tool should be secure
and tight.
14. Keep motor air vent clean.
The tool's motor air vent must be kept clean so
that air can freely flow at all times. Check for
dust build-up frequently.
15. Operate power tools at the rated voltage.
Operate the power tool at voltages specified on
its nameplate.
If using the power tool at a higher voltage than
the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast
motor revolution and may damage the unit and
the motor may burn out.
16. NEVER use a tool which is defective or operating
abnormally.
If the tool appears to be operating unusually,
making strange noises, or otherwise appears
defective, stop using it immediately and arrange
for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service
center.
17. NEVER leave tool running unattended. Turn
power off.
Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
18. Carefully handle power tools.
Should a power tool be dropped or struck against
hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed,
cracked, or damaged.
19. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner, benzine,
carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage
and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with
such solvents.
Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly
dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
20. ALWAYS wear eye protection that meets the
requirement of the latest revision of
ANSI Standard Z87.1.
21. Beware of sharp panel edges.
The edge of the plate just cut by the hand shear
is very sharp. Take care in not getting hurt by
the sharp edge.
22. Start cutting only after the blade attains the
proper speed.
After turning on the power switch, wait until the
blade attains the proper speed, then start cutting.
23. Preserve the power cord.
Be sure that the power cord is not abraded or
cut by the sharp edge of the cut panel.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER
OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, metabo HPT
has adopted a double insulation design. "Double
insulation"
means
that
insulation systems have been used to insulate the
electrically conductive materials connected to the power
supply from the outer frame handled by the operator.
Therefore, either the symbol " " or the words "Double
insulation" appear on the power tool or on the
nameplate.
Although this system has no external grounding, you
must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions
given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the
power tool in wet environments.
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow
these precautions:
