Assembly and Operating Instructions
the safety guard 6.30845 is designed for use with
Metabo angle grinders WQ 1000 with a 4“, 4-1/2“ or
5" accessory diameter.
Only diamond cut-off wheels must be used. Bonded
cut-off wheels must not be used for cutting off.
The diamond cut-off wheel used must be matched
to the angle grinder. The operating instructions of
the angle grinder of the diamond cut-off wheel and
the dust extractor must be observed.
The safety guard is suitable for professional cutting
off (without the use of water) of concrete, granite,
marble, ceramic tiles or masonry with the use of
suitable diamond cut-off wheels.
It is not designed for processing metal, plastic,
lumber, fiberglass or others materials that do not
contain cement.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
Before using this power tool, completely read and
understand the enclosed safety information and the
instructions. Keep all enclosed documentation for
future reference, and pass on your power tool only
together with these documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference! The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
1. Specified Use
2. General Safety Instructions

these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
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 misalign-
ment 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 acci-
dents 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.
These operating instructions are intended for
persons with basic technical knowledge and experi-
ence of the operation of machines such as the one
described herein. If you have no experience what-
soever with such power tools, we strongly recom-
mend to seek the advice of an experienced person.
Prior to use of the power tool, users must be
provided with information, instructions and training.
Use a suitable dust extractor that complies with all
country-specific specifications.
3.1 Safety instructions for abrasive cut-off
machines
The safety guard must be securely attached to
the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. Ensure that neither you
or bystanders are positioned within the plane
of the rotating diamond cut-off wheel.The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel frag-
ments and accidental contact with the diamond cut-
off wheel.
Only use diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
When not in use, place power tool on a stable
surface where it will not move inadvertantly,
roll or cause a tripping or falling hazard. Serious
personal injury may result.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning acces-
sory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your arm may be pulled into the spin-
ning wheel.
Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result
in electrocution or shock.
3.2 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is the sudden response to a diamond cut-
off wheel that is jammed or blocked while rotating.
Jamming causes the rotating accessory to stop
abruptly, This, in turn, causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite to
the accessory’s rotation at the point of blocking.
If a diamond cut-off wheel jams or blocks in the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel entering into the
workpiece can snag, thus causing either kickback
or the wheel to break off.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Hold the power tool as
specified (see chapter 6.1) to ensure maximum
control over kickback forces or torque reac-
tions during run-up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not positon your body in line with the
rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
3. Special Safety Instructions

ENGLISH en
5
d) Use special care when working around
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap gerater than 10 mm or toothed
blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
f) Do not jam the cut-off wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
diamond cut-off wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or jamming of the wheel in
the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
g) If the diamond cut-off wheel gets jammed or
you interrupt operation for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool still
until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the diamond cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion,
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel jamming.
h) Do not restart the power tool while in the
workpiece. Let the diamond cut-off wheel reach
full speed and carefully reenter the cut. Other-
wise the diamond cut-off wheel may bind, jump up
or kick back.
i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-
back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. The workpiece must be supported on both
sides of the diamond cut-off wheel near the line of
cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
3.3 Additional Safety Instructions
Always wear protective goggles.
Wear personal protective equip-
ment. Use a full face shield, safety
goggles dust mask, ear protectors,
protective gloves, workshop apron, non-slip safety
shoes.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic,
such as oak and beech dust, especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Use a dust extraction device.
- Use a suitable dust extractor that complies with all
country-specific specifications.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- Always wear a respirator (NIOSH/OSHA-
approved).
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapors that may be
harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods
of time. High noise levels over a prolonged periodof
time may affect your hearing.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles can slip, leading to a
loss of control.
Wear working gloves. Safe guidance of the power
tool is not possible with sweaty hands. Working
gloves help avoid accidental sliding and thus
prevent accidents.
Never work on ladders or similar objects. Ensure
you stand in a safe position and keep your balance
at all times.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be supported adequately.
Do not use any accessories that are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe opera-
tion.
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must comply with the dimensions of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled. The operating
instructions of the angle grinder used must be
observed.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly off. Furthermore, only use
diamond cut-off wheels certified for a rotational
speed of 12000 rpm.
Use a diamond cut-off wheel that is suitable and
certified for the material being processed.
If a segmented diamond cut-off wheel is used, it
must have a negative cutting angle and the slots
between the segmented material must not be larger
than 10 mm.
Make sure the direction of rotation is correct. The
direction of rotation is marked by arrows on the
diamond cut-off wheel and safety guard. The
arrows must point in the same direction.
Ensure that the diamond cut-off wheel is fitted
correctly and securely on the power tool. Damaged,
eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.

The diamond cut-off wheel must not be overheated.
Overheating can result in material failure and lead to
serious injury.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before use,
always check the accessories for chips and cracks.
If a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
Stop immediately if significant vibrations occur or if
other defects are noted. If such a situation occurs,
check the machine to determine the cause.
Never place your hand near the rotating accesso-
ries. Never touch the safety guard housing or the
protective flap while the accessory is rotating. Keep
all body parts well away from the accessory while
the machine is running. Pay close attention to all
safety guards. One moment's carelessness can
result in serious injuries.
The lateral protective flap (2) must only be folded
away when working on inside corners. During all
other work, the protective flap (2) must cover the
diamond cut-off wheel.
When cutting off, always work against the run of the
wheel (see page 2, illustration D). Otherwise there
is the danger of the machine kicking back uncon-
trolledly from the cut. Guide the machine evenly at a
speed suitable for the material being processed. Do
not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to
side. Do not execute abrupt or uncontrolled move-
ments which could result in accidents.
Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard
devices are missing or defective. Never use an
incomplete machine, or one on which an unauthor-
ized modification has been made.
Ensure that the point where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. by
using a metal detector). Make sure that no other
objects can come into contact with the accessory.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep children and other persons well away from the
power tool when in use. If you are distracted, you
could lose control over the power tool. Keep
bystanders a safe distance away from the work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of work-
pieces or a broken accessory may be ejected and
cause injury even beyond the immediate area of
operation.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before use, always check that the safety guard is
fitted correctly and securely on the angle grinder.
Caution: Parts of the diamond cut-off wheel can
break and fly off.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
safety guard.
Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard
devices are missing or defective.
The safety guard is designed for use with Metabo
angle grinders WQ 1000 with 4“, 4-1/2“ or 5" acces-
sory diameters. The diamond cut-off wheel used
must be matched to the angle grinder. The oper-
ating instructions of the angle grinder of the

extérieur.
Les risques de décharge électrique diminuent en
cas d’utilisation d’un câble d’alimentation pour
usage extérieur.
f) S’il est indispensable d’utiliser un outil élec-
trique dans un endroit humide, utilisez une
alimentation équipée d’un disjoncteur différen-
tiel (RCD). Les risques de décharge électrique
diminuent avec un disjoncteur différentiel.
2.3 Sécurité corporelle
a) Soyez vigilant, attentif à ce que vous faites et
faites preuve de bon sens quand vous utilisez
un outil électrique. N’utilisez pas d’outil élec-
trique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence
de l’alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments. Un

simple moment d’inattention avec un outil élec-
trique peut provoquer de graves blessures.
b) Utilisez des équipements de protection
corporelle. Protégez systématiquement vos
yeux. Les risques de blessures diminuent avec des
équipements de protection (masque, chaussures
de sécurité antidérapantes, casque ou protection
auditive) adaptés.
c) Évitez tout démarrage intempestif. Assurez-
vous que le commutateur est bien en position
d’arrêt avant de raccorder l’outil au secteur et/
ou d’insérer la batterie, de le prendre ou de le
transporter. Il est dangereux de transporter un outil
électrique avec le doigt sur le commutateur ou de
brancher un outil électrique dont le commutateur
est déjà en position marche.
d) Retirez toute clé ou outil de réglage avant
d’allumer l’outil électrique. Toute clé ou outil de
réglage fixé sur un élément tournant de l’outil élec-
trique peut entraîner des blessures.
e) Ne travaillez pas en extension. Veillez à bien
garder vos appuis et votre équilibre en perma-
nence. C’est ce qui permet de garder le contrôle de
l’outil dans des situations inattendues.
f) Portez des vêtements adaptés. Proscrivez les
vêtements amples et les bijoux. Tenez vos
cheveux, vos vêtements et vos gants à
distance des pièces en mouvement. Les vête-
ments amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs
risquent d’être happés par les pièces en mouve-
ment.
g) En présence de dispositifs de raccordement
à un système d’aspiration ou de collecte des
poussières, veillez à ce que ces dispositifs
soient correctement raccordés et utilisés. Les
risques liés aux poussières diminuent en présence
d’un système de collecte.
2.4 Utilisation et entretien de l’outil élec-
trique
a) N’utilisez pas l’outil électrique au-delà de ses
capacités. Utilisez un outil électrique adapté à
l’application. Un outil électrique adapté sera plus
sûr et plus efficace dans les conditions d’utilisation
pour lesquelles il a été conçu.
b) Ne vous servez pas de l’outil électrique si le
commutateur marche/arrêt ne fonctionne pas.
Un outil électrique qui ne peut pas être mis en
marche ou arrêté à l’aide du commutateur est
dangereux et doit donc être réparé.
c) Débranchez la fiche du secteur et/ou retirez
la batterie de l’outil électrique avant de
procéder au moindre réglage, de changer
d’accessoire ou même de le ranger. C’est le type
de mesure de prévention et de sécurité qui réduit
les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’outil élec-
trique.
d) Rangez les outils électriques hors tension
hors de portée des enfants et interdisez l’utili-
sation de l’outil électrique à des peronnes qui
ne connaissent pas l’outil ou ces consignes
d’utilisation. Les outils électriques sont dangereux
quand ils sont manipulés par des personnes non
qualifiées.
e) Maintenance des outils électriques. Vérifiez
qu’il n’y a pas de problème d’alignement ou de
fixation de pièces mobiles, de pièces cassées,
ni d’autre élément susceptible d’affecter le
fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. Si l’outil
électrique est endommagé, faites-le réparer
avant utilisation. De nombreux accidents sont
causés par des outils électriques dont la mainte-
nance est négligée.
f) Faites en sorte que les outils de coupe
restent propres et bien affûtés. Des outils de
coupe avec des arêtes tranchantes sont moins
susceptibles de se coincer et donc plus faciles à
maîtriser.
g) Utilisez l’outil électrique, les accessoires,
forets etc. conformément aux présentes
consignes, en tenant compte des conditions de
travail et de l’intervention à effectuer. Toute utili-
sation de l’outil électrique pour des opérations diffé-
rentes de celles pour lesquelles il a été conçu peut
présenter un danger.
2.5 Réparation
a) Confiez la réparation de l’outil électrique à
un réparateur qualifié, qui utilisera systémati-
quement des pièces de rechange identiques.
Cela permet de maintenir le niveau de sécurité
offert par cet outil électrique.
Ces consignes d’utilisation sont destinées à des
personnes qui disposent des connaissances tech-
niques de base et d’une certaine expérience
concernant le fonctionnement des machines telles
que celle qui est décrite ici. Nous vous recomman-
dons vivement de vous adresser à une personne
expérimentée si vous n’avez pas la moindre expé-
rience de l’utilisation de ce type d’outil électrique.
Tout utilisateur doit être dûment informé, formé et
prendre connaissance de ces consignes avant
d’utiliser l’outil électrique.
Utilisez un aspirateur adapté, conforme à toutes les
spécifications nationales en vigueur.
3.1 Consignes de sécurité propres aux
machines à tronçonner par abrasion
Le carter de protection doit être correctement
fixé sur l’outil électrique et placé de façon à
offrir un maximum de sécurité : la partie du
disque à laquelle l’opérateur est exposé doit
être la plus petite possible. Faites en sorte que
vous-même ou les personnes en présence ne
se trouvent pas dans le plan de rotation du
disque à tronçonner diamant. Le carter contribue
à protéger l’opérateur des fragments de disque qui
se détachent, mais aussi de tout contact accidentel
avec le disque à tronçonner diamant.
Utilisez exclusivement des disques à tron-
çonner diamant avec l’outil électrique. Un
accessoire peut être raccordé à l’outil électrique
sans que son fonctionnement soit sûr pour autant.
