Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.
4.3 Special safety instructions for cordless
tools:
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-Ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Transport of Li-Ion battery packs:
The shipping of Li-Ion battery packs is subject to
laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack
from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts
from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with
adhesive tape).

6. Initial Operation and Setting
6.1 Inserting the cutter
The high speed of the machine requires high-
quality cutters (HSS or carbide).
Only use cutters that are suited to the speed of
your machine. See chapter "Technical data".
Only use cutters the shaft diameter of which
matches the collet bore of the collet chuck. If
necessary, change the collet chuck, see
chapter 6.5.
The collet chuck nut may only be tightened by
hand if no cutters are used.
Do not use blunt or damaged cutters.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Push the cutter into the collet chuck (9) until the
entire cylindrical part of its shaft is enclosed by
the collet chuck (9).
3. Locking the milling spindle: Push spindle locking
button (11) and keep pressed. Slowly turn the
collet chuck nut (10) until the lock engages.
4. Firmly tighten the collet chuck nut (10) using the
open-end wrench provided for this purpose.
5. Release the spindle locking button (11).
6.2 Adjusting the cutting depth
Clean and safe cutting is achieved with a
maximum cutting depth of 6 mm. This also
protects the motor from overloading. Greater
cutting depths can be achieved with several rounds.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the clamping lever (4) and guide the
motor part downwards until the milling cutter sits
on the workpiece. Retighten the clamping lever
(4).
