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. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Always
include these documents when passing on your power tool.
Special Safety Instructions
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling (machines with the designation SB…)..
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits:
- Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage and loss of control, resulting in personal injury. 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).
- Do not open battery packs!
- Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
- If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.
- 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.
- Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
- Remove chips and similar material only when the machine is at a standstill.
- Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
- LED light (9) : do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.
CAUTION : Do not stare at operating lamp.
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 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 towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- 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.
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
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 switch (7) 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:
-
Battery pack is almost flat
(the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If one LED (12) is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the button (13) and check the LED lamps (12) to see the charge level. If the battery pack is almost flat, 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 : 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 (7). Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack 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 (12) (equipment-specific):
- Press the button (13), the LEDs indicate the charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal : press the battery pack release button (10) and pull the battery
pack (11) forwards.
Insertion : Slide the battery pack (11) in until it engages.
Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device (switch-on lock)
Do not activate rotation selector switch (6) unless the motor has completely stopped! Actuate the rotation selector switch (direction of rotation setting, transporting safety device) (6). See page 2:
R = Clockwise setting
L = Anti-clockwise setting
0 = middle position: transportation safety device (Switch-on lock) set
Selecting gear stage
