Initial Operation/Setting

Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustment or maintenance is carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the machine is switched off.

The machine’s multifunctional monitoring System

If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is released (5). In spite of this protective function, overloading is still possible with certain applications and can result in damage to the machine.

Causes and remedies:

1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out. Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
   Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed.

Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use. If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack. Removing the battery pack Press the battery pack release button (6) and remove the battery pack (7). To fit Slide in the battery pack (7) until it engages.

Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device (switch-on lock)
Do not actuate the rotation selector switch or engage the transportation lock (4) unless the motor has stopped completely! Actuate the rotational direction switch / Engage the transportation lock (4)

• R = Right rotation set (insert screws)
• L = Left rotation set (remove screws)
• 0 = Central position: transportation lock setting (switch-on lock)

Switching on and off

• To switch on: press the trigger switch (5).
• Switching off: Release the trigger (5).

Speed / Tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected directly. The lower the speed, the lower the tightening torque.
Stepless adjustment of the tightening torque:
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted steplessly by pressing the trigger (5) firmly or lightly, thus adapting to working conditions.

Recommendation: determine the correct setting by carrying out trial screwdriving.

Changing screwdriver bit Inserting screwdriving bit : Slide locking sleeve (2) forward and insert screwdriving bit as far as the stop. Release locking sleeve (2).
Pull on the screwdriver bit to check that it is correctly seated.

Removing screwdriving bit : Slide locking sleeve (2) forward and remove screwdriving bit.

Only use screwdriving bits with such plug-in ends:
The screwdriving bit used must match the screw.
Damaged screwdriving bits must not be used.

Use

Mount the machine on the screw, ensuring it is aligned straight. The screwdriving process has two elements: inserting the screw and tightening the screw with the percussion mechanism. The tightening torque depends on the impact duration.
With an impact duration of approx. 5 seconds, the maximum tightening torque has been reached. The torque curve depends on the type of application: With a hard screwdriving application (screwcouplings in hard material such as metal), maximum tightening torque is already reached after a short impact duration (a). With a soft screwdriving application (screwcouplings in soft material such as wood), a longer impact duration (b) is required. Recommendation: determine the correct impact duration by carrying out trial screwdriving. Caution! With small screws, maximum torque can be reached even below an impact duration of 0.5 seconds. – This is why the duration of the screwdriving
process must be monitored exactly. – Adjust the tightening torque by pressing firmly or lightly on the trigger (5), ensuring that the screw is not damaged or that the screw head does not tear off.

Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused machines, packaging and accessories.
Battery packs must not be disposed of with regular waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with water!
To protect the environment, do not dispose of power tools or battery packs in household waste. Observe national regulations on separated collection and recycling of disused machines, packaging and accessories.
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the power tool. Prevent the contacts from shortcircuiting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive tape). used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This can considerably increase the vibratory load over the entire working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It is also suitable for a provisional estimate of the vibratory load. The specified vibration level applies to the main 10 applications of the power tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This can considerably increase the vibratory load over the entire working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
