Special Safety Instructions

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills (machines with the designation SB). Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool (depending on the model). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory/fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory/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. by using a metal detector).
• Protect battery packs from water and mois-ture!
• Do not expose battery packs to naked flame!
• Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!Do not open battery packs!
• Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!Do not open battery packs!
• Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
• 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 imme-diately.
• Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustments, conversions or servicing are performed.
• Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the machine is switched off.
• 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 where possible.
  • The work place must be well ventilated.
  • The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recom-mended.
• Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
• Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the help of clamping devices.

Use

Battery pack, capacity and signal display
Charge the battery pack before use.
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10 °C and 30 °C.
Removing, replacing battery pack
Setting direction of rotation, transporting safety device (switch-on lock)
Selecting gear stage
Only actuate slide switch (4) with the motor at a standstill!
Setting for normal drilling, impact drilling
Press the slide switch (3).
Setting torque control, maximum torque,pulse function
Do not work for long periods with pulse func-tion switched on! (The motor can overheat.)
Machines with designation …18 LTX BL Quick…:
Turn the setting wheel (13) to switch on the pulse function (button (5) flashes) or to switch on the torque control (button (5) lights up continuously)
For maximum torque (drilling position), press the button (5) (the button (5) is not illuminated). To acti-vate the settings of setting wheel again: press the button (5) again or turn the setting wheel.
Machines with designation …18 LTX Impuls/ Quick, …18 LTX BL Impuls: Set the desired operating mode at the setting wheel (13):
1…10 = torque control
Drill bit = maximum torque
Impuls = pulse function
Switching on/off, setting speed
Switching on, speed: Press the trigger (15). The speed can be changed by pressing in the trigger.
Switching off: release the trigger switch (15).
Note:
The noise that the machine makes when it switches off is due to the design (quick stop) and has no influence on the function or the service life of the machine.
Keyless chuck
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required after a short period of operation.
Notes on machines with the designation SB…:

1. The ratchet sound which can possibly be heard after opening the drill chuck is functional and is switched off by a reverse rotation of the sleeve.
2. Clamping tool:
   Turn sleeve (1) in direction “GRIP, ZU” until the noticeable mechanical resistance has been overcome.
   Caution! The chuck is not yet fully tight-ened! Keep turning the sleeve (it must “click” when turning)) until it cannot be turned any further – only now is the tool safely clamped.
   

Cleaning: From time to time, hold the machine vertically with the keyless chuck facing downwards and turn the sleeve fully in direction “GRIP, ZU” and then turn fully in direction
“AUF, RELEASE”. The dust collected falls from the keyless chuck.
Unscrewing chuck Employ the same procedure when attaching the chuck, except in reverse order.
Chuck with quick bit change system (for BS 14.4 LTX Quick, BS 18 LTX Quick)
To remove: Push the interlock ring forward (a), advance and pull off the chuck (b).
To mount: Push the interlock ring forward and move the chuck as far as the limit stop on the drill spindle.

Attach the belt hook to the left (8).
Attach the bit depot to the right (7).

Troubleshooting

The machine’s multifunctional monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (contin-uous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger (15) is released.
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 empty Fig. A, B (The electronics protect the battery pack against damage through total discharge).
   If one LED is flashing (11), the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the (10) button and check the LEDs (11) to see the charge level. 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: If the battery pack feels very warm, the pack will cool more quickly in an “AIR COOLED” charger.
   Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed.
   Metabo safety shutdown: The machine was SWITCHED OFF automatically. If the slew rate of the current is too high (for example, if the machine suddenly seizes or kickback occurs), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger (15). Switch it on again and continue to work as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.
   Switch off the machine at the trigger (15). Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

Note:
The LED lamp (14) switches off automatically after a specific time.
To activate the electronic functions: press the trigger (15).
