4.3 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, and 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.

Commissioning

6.1 For mains powered machines only
Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream.
6.2 For cordless machines only
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (9) before use.
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be found in the operating instructions of the Metabo charger.
Li-Ion battery packs “Li-Power” have a capacity and signal indicator (10):

• Press the button (11), and the LEDs indicate the charge level.
• If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged.

Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal: Press the battery pack release button (7) and pull the battery pack (9) forwards.
To insert: Slide the battery pack (9) in until it engages.

Installation of the belt hook
The belt hook (8) may be screwed into place on the left or the right (see illustration, page 2).

Use

7.1 Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device (switch-on lock)
Do not activate the rotary selector switch (2) unless the motor has completely stopped.

See page 2:
R = Clockwise setting
L = Counter-clockwise setting
0 = Central position: transportation lock setting (switch-on lock)

7.2 On/Off switch, modifying the speed Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (3).
Press the trigger to increase the rotational speed.
To switch it off release the trigger switch.
Continuous activation: With the trigger (3) pressed, push the locking button (4) and release the trigger. Press and release the trigger again (3) to switch it off.
In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.

7.3 Screwdriver bit change Inserting and removing the screwdriver bit:

• Remove the depth stop (12).
• Insert: Insert the screwdriver bit (13) in the bit holder (14).
• Remove: Pull the screwdriver bit (13) from the bit holder (14) using pliers.
• Attach the depth stop (12) again: turn and engage in position when mounted.
  Note:
  The bit holder (14) may be removed from the screwdriver spindle if the sleeve (16) is pulled back.
  Never use 25 mm long screwdriver bits (13) in the screwdriver spindle (15)! Removal is not possible! Only use the bit holder (14)!

7.4 Working with depth stop
See page 2, illustrations 2 a and 2 b.
To preset the screw insertion depth, one of the screws to be inserted is fitted on the screwdriver bit (13). Set the depth stop (12) by turning as follows:
a) Screws with heads designed to sit on top of the material (socket-head screws, oval head screws, hex screws):
the surface area of the screw head is 2 mm outside the stop sleeve (17).
b) Flathead screws:
the area of the screw head is 2 mm outside the stop sleeve (17).
Insert a screw as a test. Correct the screw depth if necessary:
When the depth stop (12) is inserted, the insertion depth changes by 0.25 mm per notch. If the screw insertion has to be deeper: Insert the stop sleeve If the screw insertion is too deep: Unscrew the stop sleeve.
Removal of the depth stop (12) does not alter the set screw insertion depth. After refitting, work can continue at the same insertion depth.
When screwing in crosshead screws, press the machine with the screwdriver bit (13) firmly against the screw until the screw is fully inserted; otherwise, the bit could slip out of the cross recess and damage the material.
7.5 Working without depth stop (12)
Adapt the speed of the screwing process by carefully pressing the trigger switch.
When the screwing process is complete, switch off the machine by releasing the trigger switch (3).
7.6 LED lamp (depending on the model)
For working in badly lit areas. The LED light (6) lights up when the machine is switched on.

Tips and Tricks

Press the machine firmly against the screw until the screwing process is complete.
This is particularly important when inserting drywall screws (with coarse threads) in gypsum plasterboards because the large thread pitch of the screws means that they are very quickly inserted.
If the stop sleeve (17) is stiff, it can be removed to clean the thread.

Troubleshooting

If the screwdriver bit (13) is fitted very firmly in the bit holder (14): remove the screwdriver bit with a pair of pliers.
9.1 Only for cordless machines; the machine’s multifunctional monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode.
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. The battery pack is almost flat (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage).
   If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. (10) If necessary, press the (11) button and check the LEDs (10) 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 your “AIR COOLED” charger.
   Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed.

3. 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 (3).
   Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

Maintenance

Disconnect the mains plug or remove the battery pack from the machine before starting any maintenance work.
Remove the depth stop (12) regularly and clean it It is possible that particles deposit inside the power tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the power tool.
The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often, and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air.
Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective glasses and a dust mask.
