identified by type and serial number 1), meet all relevant requirements of
directives 2) and standards 3). Technical documents at 4) – Fig. M.
Specified Use
The cordless drills/screwdrivers and impact drills are suitable for
drilling in metal, wood, plastic, and similar materials, and also for
screwdriving and thread tapping. The cordless impact drills are also suitable
for impact drilling in masonry, brickwork, and stone. The user bears sole
responsibility for any damage caused by inappropriate use. Generally accepted
accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
General Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical 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, 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. Pass on your
electrical tool only together with these documents.
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 or
fasteners may contact hidden wiring. A cutting accessory 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).
Safety instructions when using long drill bits:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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. freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b) 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.
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.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments,
changing tools, maintaining or cleaning. 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 with the machine at a standstill. Secure the workpiece to prevent
slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps). LED light (13): do
not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.
CAUTION Do not stare at the 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,
and asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, and
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 it 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 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).

7.3 Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock) Fig. D
7.4 Selecting the gear Fig. E Do not set the switch (4) unless the motor has
stopped completely!
7.5 Setting the torque limitation, screw-driving, drilling, and impact
drilling Fig. F
= Set screwdriving by turning the sleeve (3) AND set the torque (with torque
limitation) by turning the sleeve (2) – intermediate settings are also
possible
= Set drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max. torque, without torque
limitation) To avoid overloading the motor, do not jam the spindle.
Machines with the designation SB:
= Set impact drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max. torque, without torque
limitation) To avoid overloading the motor, do not jam the spindle.
7.6 Switching On/Off, setting the speed Fig. A
Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (14). Press the trigger switch
to increase the rotational speed. Switching off: release the trigger switch
(14).
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.
7.7 Keyless chuck Fig. G
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required after a short drilling
period. Information for machines with the designation BS 18 LT BL, BS 18 LT BL
SE, SB 18 LT BL, SB 18 LT BL SE:
- The grating sound which may be heard after opening the chuck is functional and is stopped by turning the sleeve in the opposite direction.
- Clamping the tool: Turn the sleeve in the direction “GRIP, ZU” until the noticeable mechanical resistance has been overcome. Caution! The tool is not yet clamped! Keep turning the sleeve (it must “click” when turning), until it cannot be turned any further – only now is the tool securely clamped.
Cleaning:
from time to time, hold the machine vertically with the chuck facing downwards
and turn the sleeve fully in the direction “GRIP, ZU” and then turn fully in
the direction “AUF, RELEASE”. The dust collected falls from the keyless chuck.
7.8 Unscrewing the chuck Fig. H
Employ the same procedure when attaching the chuck, except in reverse
order.
7.9 Chuck with the quick-change system (with BS 18 LT BL Q) Fig. I
To remove: push the interlock ring forward (a), advance, and pull off the
chuck forwards (b). To fit: push the interlock ring forward and move the chuck
as far as the limit stop on the drill spindle.

specific) Fig. J
Fit the belt hook (8) as shown. Fit the bit depot (7) as shown.
Troubleshooting
8.1 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 (14) 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 almost empty Fig. A, B (The electronics protect the battery pack against damage through total discharge). If one LED (11) is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the button (10) and check the LEDs (11) 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: 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 has SHUT DOWN by itself. If the speed suddenly drops (for example, if the machine suddenly seizes or kickback occurs), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (14). Switch it on again and continue to work as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.
Accessories
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance System) battery packs and accessories. Use only accessories that fulfill the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions. Fitting the angle drilling attachment Fig. K. For a complete range of accessories, see www.metabo.com or the catalog.

Environmental Protection
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with water! Protect the
environment, and do not dispose of power tools and battery packs with
household waste.
Observe national regulations separate collection and recycling of disused
machines, packaging, and accessories. Discharge the battery pack in the power
tool before disposal. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by
protecting them with adhesive tape).
