See fig. A:
3. Release the wing (21) screw. Guide the pin (23)
downwards until it rests on a stop of the three-
stage depth guide (13). Retighten the wing
screw (21).
4. Move the cutting depth indicator (22) in such a
way that the read-off marking points to the 0-
point of the scale (24).
5. Release the wing (21) screw. Push the pin (23)
upwards to that the read-off marking shows the
desired cutting depth on the scale (24).
Retighten the wing screw (21).
6. Fine adjustment: If needed turn the knurled
screw (19) and read the clearance on the scale
(20) .
7. When working, the desired cutting depth is
achieved if the motor part is guided downwards
until the stop after the clamping lever (4) is
loosened.
Using the three-stage depth guide (13), 3 different
cutting depths can be preset.
6.3 Setting speed
The speed can be set via the thumb-wheel (3) and
is infinitely variable.
Speeds when idle, see table, page 4.
6.4 Attach the chip extraction
If an extraction unit is used, attach the extraction
nozzle (25). See fig. B.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Removing the cutter.
3. Fit the extraction nozzle (25) as shown to the
machine: Screw 2 long screws (a) from below
into the foot plate. Place the extraction nozzle
(25) from the top on the 2 screw threads and fix
with the 2 knurled screws (b).
4. To extract the saw chips, connect a suitable
extraction unit with suction hose to the
connection piece. Use a hose adapter if
necessary.
6.5 Replace the collet chuck (depending on
the features)
See fig. C.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Unscrew the collet chuck nut (10)
3. Replace the collet chuck (9) with the other
collect chuck supplied.
4. Screw on the collet chuck (10) only by hand, do
not tighten.
To use cutter with 6-mm shaft:
Fit the supplied 12 mm collet chuck (depending on
the features). To this end, insert the supplied,
original Metabo reducing sleeve (26) (depending on
features) deep into the 12 mm collet chuck (it must
be flush with the collet chuck (9)). The insert the
cutter with 6-mm shaft into the reducing sleeve.
6.6 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (16) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Battery packs have a capacity and signal indicator
(18) (depends on design variant):
- Press the button (17), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost empty and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removing:
Press the battery pack release (15) button and

7.2 Working Directions
Machine use
Hold the machine firmly on both knob handles
(5).
Place the machine onto the workpiece without the
cutter touching the workpiece. Switch on machine
and wait until the full speed has been reached. Only
then allow the cutter to penetrate the workpiece. To
fix the milling depth, tighten the clamping lever (4).
The foot plate (12) glides onto the workpiece.
Feed direction
Always work in the opposite direction. Always push
the machine forwards as shown. See fig. D.
The direction of rotation of the cutter is indicated by
an arrow (8) on the machine.
Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for
the material being processed.
7.3 Putting down after use
After finishing the milling process, switch off the
router and release the clamping lever (4). Then the
motor is pressed upwards by the springs in the
columns and the machine can be put down.
