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 – Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.
Pass on your power tool only together with these documents.
Special Safety Instructions
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
Protect battery packs from
water and moisture!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine
Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting the battery pack.
Do not use frozen or set adhesive or sealant.
Do not overload the motor! If the motor is overloaded, switch off the device and remove the battery pack. Determine the cause of the problem and resolve it.
Refer to the instructions for assembling the device. Ensure that the front cap, tube and threaded ring are correctly fitted and securely fastened.
Always wear eye protection.
Danger of crushing! Do not take hold of the toothed rod (7)! Ensure that nothing is caught by the toothed rod. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
Refer to the glue or adhesive manufacturers’ instructions and also the safety data sheet for the consumable material. Adhesives and sealants can be dangerous. For this reason, you should always carefully read any instructions on the container or other information provided by the manufacturer about the material to be used.
Do not use materials without knowing what
risks they entail. Do not use any solvent, acidic or other abrasive cleaning
agents.
Store the device and its components in a safe place (e.g. Ensure that the dismantled tube (3) is not allowed to roll away).
Retract the toothed rod (7) only with the button pressed (6).
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 at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to lawsrelated 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)

Initial Operation
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 30°C.
Removal: Press the battery pack release button (11) and remove battery pack (12).
Fitting: Slide in the battery pack (12) until it engages
Li-Ion battery packs “Li-Power, LiHD“ have a capacity and signal indicator (14):
- 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.
Fitting plastic bags
-
Unscrew the front cap (1) from the tube (3).
-
Push the rod knob (8) until the stop – this grants access to the extruder plate (17).
Mount the extruder plate for plastic bags (16) as shown ! See page 2, fig. A. -
Snip the top of the nozzle (2) as required for the work to be carried out.
-
Press the button (6) for unlocking the toothed rod and pull the rod knob (8) backwards until the stop.
-
Push the plastic bag (15) inside the tube (3).
-
Trim the plastic bag (15) as recommended by theplastic bag manufacturer.
-
Insert the nozzle (2) in the front cap (1) and secure the front cap (1).
-
Now gently press the rod knob (8) to advance the toothed rod until it comes in contact with the plastic bag.
Fitting the cartridge
-
Unscrew the front cap (1) from the tube (3).
-
Push the rod knob (8) until the stop – this grants access to the extruder plate (17).
Remove the extruder plate for plastic bags (16) as shown ! See page 2, fig. B. -
Open the cartridge (18) as per the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Snip the top of the cartridge nozzle as required for the work to be carried out.
-
Press the button (6) for unlocking the toothed rod and pull the rod knob (8) backwards until the stop.

Use
Multifunctional monitoring system
If the device switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode.
Causes and remedies:
- 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.
- Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out. Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
- If the current is too high (for example, during extended periods of overloading) the device is switched off.
Using the trigger switch, turn off the device (9) and remove the battery pack. Determine the cause of the problem and resolve it.
Setting the feed rate
Set the feed rate using the adjusting wheel (10).
Switching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (9).
Switching off: release the trigger switch (9). Note:
The toothed rod is automatically retracted slightly to avoid dripping. However, if you activate the trigger switch at brief intervals (shorter than 1 second), the rod is not automatically retracted. This allows precise dosage of volumes.
Note: The motor switches off automatically if either the cartridge or the plastic bag is empty.
Accessories
Only use original Metabo battery packs and Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions.
Batter chargers: ASC Ultra, ASC 30-36, etc. Battery packs with different capacities. Buy battery packs only with voltage suitable for your power tool.
