BS 14.4 Quick Cordless Drill Screwdriver
Instruction Manual
Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that these cordless drills/screwdrivers and impact drills, identified by type and serial number 1), meet all relevant requirements of directives 2) and standards 3). Technical documents for 4) – see page 3.For UK only:We as manufacturer and an authorized person to compile the technical file, see 4) on page 3, hereby declare under sole responsibility that these cordless drills/screwdrivers and impact drills, identified by type and serial number *1) on page 3, fulfill all relevant provisions of following UK Regulations S.I. 2016/1091, S.I. 2008/1597, S.I. 2012/3032 and Designated Standards EN 60745-1:2009+A11:2010, EN 60745-2-1:2010, EN 60745

Specified Use

The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also for screw driving and thread tapping.The impact drills are also suited for 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 Instruction

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! 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

Wear ear protectors with impact drills(machines with the designation SB). Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory 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 place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector). 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! 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! Do not touch contacts or short-circuit battery packs! If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.

Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustment or maintenance is carried out. 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 lights Do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.
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 examples of these substances are: lead (from lead-based paints), crystalline silica (from bricks cement, etc.), additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservative), some types of wood (like oak and 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. To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic 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.

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).

Use

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. If necessary, press the button (14) and check the LEDs (13) 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: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed. machine seizes continuously for long periods), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger switch\ Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use.If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack.The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 30°C.In case of Li-Ion battery packs with capacity and signal display (13) (equipment- specific):- Press the button (14), 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 (11) and pull the battery pack (12) forwards.Insertion: Slide the battery pack (12) in until it engages.

Setting the direction of rotation

Actuate the rotary selector switch (direction of rotation set, transporting safety device) (7).
