MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING
Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.

1. Inspecting the bit
   Continued use of a worn or broken bit may cause overloading of the motor. Replace the bit with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.

2. Clean stiff stopper
   If the depth setting is stiff, the stopper can be dismantled without using tools. To do this, turn the setting sleeve clockwise until it becomes loose from the union sleeve. Twist out the stop sleeve and clean the thread.
   NOTE
   Only clean or vacuum mechanically. Do not use oils or greases.
   NOTE
   Regularly remove and clean the stopper.

3. Check the Screws
   Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them and make sure they are tight.
   CAUTION
   Using this power tool with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.

4. Maintenance of the motor
   The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

5. Check for Dust
   Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth dampened with soapy water.
   Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline, or thinner, for they may damage the plastics.
   Particles may become deposited 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. Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective goggles and a dust mask.

6. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
   Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not been collected on the terminals.
   On occasion check prior, during, and after the operation.
   CAUTION
   Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on the terminals.
   Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

7. Lubrication
   The bearings in this tool have been suffi ciently lubricated with quality lubricating oil, taking into account the expected life of this tool under normal operating conditions. As a result, no further lubrication is necessary.

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

9. Disposal of the exhausted battery
   WARNING
   Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery must explode if it is incinerated. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery in the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
   

10. Storage
    Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the reach of children.
    NOTE
    Storing lithium-ion batteries
    Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them.
    Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
    the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
    However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to fi ve times.
    If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

11. Service and repairs
    All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of wear from normal use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used, all service and repairs must be performed by a Metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.

CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.
