General Safety Information
For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.
Always include these documents when passing on your power tool.
Special safety instructions
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines
or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured in such a way that they are not carried
along with the screwdriver bit (e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench
with screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove debris and similar material
only when the machine is at a standstill.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels
over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Note that high counter-torques are possible during work. Always hold the
machine firmly, adopt a steady stance and focus on your work.
Do not keep the ventilation slots closed.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be harmful to health (e.g.
asbestos) must not be processed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by making sure that the machine is switched off
before fitting the battery pack.
Remove the battery pack from the tool before any adjustments, conversions,
servicing or cleaning are performed.
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.
LED light (10): do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical
instruments.
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).
4.1 Reducing dust exposure:
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 wellventilated
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 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.

Initial Operation
6.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (6) 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.
In case of Li-Ion battery packs with capacity and signal display (8)
(equipment-specific):
- Press the button (7); the LEDs indicate the charge (8) level.
- The battery pack is almost empty and must be recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal: press the battery pack release button (4) and pull the battery pack
(6) forwards.
To insert: Slide the battery pack (6) in until it engages.
6.2 Installation of belt hook
The belt hook (5) may be screwed into place on the left or the right (see
illustration, page 2).
Use
7.1 Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety
device (switch-on lock)
Only activate the rotation selector switch (1) when the motor has completely
stopped.
See page 2:
R = Clockwise setting
L = Anti-clockwise setting
0 = Centre position: with the transporting safety device engaged (switch-
on lock)
7.2 Selection operating mode, switch on/off
Set the required operating mode on the setting wheel (9).
Note: When the motor is running, the spindle does not start until the
spindle is pushed in.
Manual mode
Switch on: press the trigger switch (3). Press in the trigger to increase the
rotational speed.
To switch off release the trigger switch.
Automatic mode
The tool starts automatically when the spindle is pushed in. This facilitates
convenient work. In order to enable automatic mode, briefly press the trigger
switch (3).
Note: The tool switches to sleep mode after 15 minutes without use. To
activate again: press the trigger switch (3) briefly.
Warning. Risk of injury from inadvertent automatic machine start-up. In
automatic mode, do not touch any rotating parts such as spindle, screwdriver
bit or bit holder.
Impulse mode
Protruding screws can be precisely countersunk using this function. Press
trigger switch (3) and countersink the screw with the attached depth stop. To
switch off release the trigger switch.
7.3 Changing screwdriver bit
Prevent inadvertent starting: Set manual mode and remove battery pack from the
tool before performing any retooling.
Inserting and removing the screwdriver bit: See page 2, fig. 1.
- Remove the depth stop (11).
- Insert: Insert the screwdriver bit (12) in the bit holder (13).
- Remove: Pull the screwdriver bit (12) from the bit holder (13) using pliers.
- Attach the depth stop (11) again: turn and engage in position when mounted.
Note: The bit holder (13) may be removed from the spindle if the sleeve (15) is pulled back.
7.4 Working with depth stop
See page 2, fig. 2.
The depth of screw can be set by turning the setting sleeve (17). On rotation
of the knurled screw corresponds to a drill depth of around 1.5 mm.
Adjust the setting sleeve (17) so that the screw head is approx. 2 mm outside
the stop sleeve (16) when applying the screw.
Insert a screw as a test. Correct the screw depth if necessary.
When screwing in cross head screws, press the machine with the screwdriver bit
(12) firmly against the screw until the screw is fully inserted; otherwise the
screwdriver bit could slip out of the cross recess and damage the material.
Troubleshooting
8.1 Clean stiff depth stop
If the depth setting is stiff, the depth stop can be dismantled without using
tools. To do this, turn the setting sleeve (17) clockwise until it becomes
loose from the union sleeve (18). Twist out the stop sleeve (17) and clean
thread.
Note: Only clean or vacuum mechanically. Do not use oils or greases.
8.2 The machine’s multi functional monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have
activated automatic protection mode.
In spite of this protective function, overloading is still possible with
certain applications and can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
-
Battery pack almost empty (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED (8) is flashing, the battery pack is almost empty. If necessary, press the button (7) and check the LED lamps (8) to see the charge level. If the battery pack is almost empty, it must be recharged. -
Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the pack will cool more quickly in your “AIR COOLED” charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed. -
If the current is too high (for example, if the machine seizes continuously for long periods), the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (3).
Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.
Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance: remove the battery pack from the machine.
Regularly remove and clean the depth stop (11).
