Specified Use

The stirrer is intended for stirring of powdery building materials such as mortar, plaster, and adhesive as well as solvent-free paints, lacquer, and similar substances. Do not use it for drilling. 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 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

the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Observe the maximum permitted agitator paddle diameter (see technical data). There will be reverse torque at the handle. Always hold the machine with both hands on the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Secure the stirring container against turning.

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and a breathing mask when working with the machine.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.

Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Do not mix solvents or materials containing solvents with a flashpoint below 21°C. Hazardous vapours or explosive mixtures may form during processing.

Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the particles generated using this power tool may contain substances known to cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: Lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long the user or nearby persons are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the body.

Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles 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 protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

Special safety instructions for mains powered machines:
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.

Avoid unintentional starting:
Always unlock the trigger switch if the machine is unplugged or in the event of a power failure.

Special safety instructions for cordless machines:
Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.

• 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 contacts or short-circuit battery packs!
• 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!

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).

Commissioning

For mains powered machines only

• Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the rating label, match with your power supply.
• Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream

For cordless machines only

Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use (11).
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 30°C.

“Li-Power, LiHD” lithium-ion battery packs have a capacity and signal indicator (10):

• Press the (9) button, 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

Remove:
Press the battery pack release button (8) and remove battery pack (11).

Select the gear (depending on features)
Select the required gear by rotating the thumb wheel (2).

Change speed when the machine is in the process of running down (briefly switch it on and off).

• I = 1. st gear (low speed, high torque)
• II = 2. nd gear (high speed)

Presetting the speed (depending on features)

• Select the maximum speed using the preselection wheel (5).

Troubleshooting

Mains powered machines:

• Overload protection: There is a MAJOR reduction in load speed. The motor temperature is too high! Allow the machine to run at idle speed until it has cooled down.
• Overload protection: There is a SLIGHT reduction in load speed. The machine is overloaded. Reduce the load before continuing to work.
• Restart protection: The machine does not start. The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is inserted with the machine switched on, or if the power supply is restored following an interruption, the machine does not start up. Switch the machine off and on again.

Cordless machines:
Overload protection: The machine has shut down by itself. The device is too hot! Allow the machine to run at idle speed until it has cooled down.

Accessories

Only use original Metabo battery packs and Metabo accessories. Battery packs with different capacities. Use battery packs only with a voltage suitable for your power tool. Use only accessories that fulfill the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions. See www.metabo.com or the catalog for a complete range of accessories.

Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must ONLY be carried out by qualified electricians! Contact your local Metabo representative if you have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. See www.metabo.com for addresses. You can download a list of spare parts from www.metabo.com.

Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused machines, packaging and accessories.

Only for EU countries: Never dispose of power tools in your household waste! Used power tools must be collected separately and handed in for environmentally compatible recycling in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in national legal systems. Special notes regarding cordless machines: Battery packs may not be disposed of with regular waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your Metabo dealer!
