Reducing dust exposure:

METABO SSEP 18 LT BL - Reducing dust exposure: - 1

WARNING - Some dust created by power

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 chemically treated 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.

This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.

Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.

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 at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits,
  • use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
  • ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
  • Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

Transport of li-ion battery packs:

The shipping of li-ion battery pack 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).

Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.

Press the machine with the guide (2) against the workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then guide the saw blade against the workpiece.

Do not make contact with any objects or with the ground with the moving saw blade (danger of recoil and saw blade fracture!)

Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.

Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade (particularly in the case of long saw blades).

If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off immediately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a suitable tool and take out the machine.

After completing the sawing cut, switch off the machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to place it down once the saw blade has come to a standstill (danger of recoil).

7.4 Activate and deactivate pendulum stroke

Activate pendulum stroke (14) for particularly high cutting output by turning in an anti-clockwise direction until the stop (pos. I) and deactivate by turning clockwise until the stop (pos. 0) (see fig. B S.2).

Plunge cuts:

Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.

Hold the machine with both hands at the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work.

See Fig. B, page 2: The machine is pressed with the edge of the guide (2) against the workpiece. The saw blade does not make contact with the workpiece. Switch on the machine. The corner of the guide serves as a pivot point around which the machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade cuts into the workpiece.
