SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
   a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care
   a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care
   a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2­3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer

1. Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
2. Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging. If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging. When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2­second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

OPERATION

1. Selecting the socket matched to the bolt Be sure to use a socket that is matched to the bolt to be tightened. Using an improper socket will not only result in insufficient tightening but also in damage to the socket or nut. A worn or deformed hex. or square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness for fitting to the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque. Pay attention to the wear of the socket hole, and replace it before further wear has developed.
2. Installing a socket
   (1) Align the square portions of the socket and the anvil with each other.
   (2) Make sure to firmly install the socket by pushing it all the way into the anvil.
   (3) When removing the socket, pull it out of the anvil.

CAUTION Please use the designated attachments

• which are listed in the operations manual and Metabo HPT’s catalog. Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so.
  

• Make sure to firmly install the socket in the anvil. If the socket is not firmly installed it might come out and cause injuries.

3. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
4. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the push button. The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 10). (The and marks are engraved on the body.)

When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops. The rotational speed can be controlled by varying
the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more. When releasing the trigger switch, the brake will be applied for immediate stopping.

NOTE A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate; this is only noise, not a mechanical failure.
6. Tightening and loosening bolts A hex. socket matching the bolt or nut must first be selected. Then mount the socket on the anvil, and grip the nut to be tightened with the hex. socket. Holding the wrench in line with the bolt, press the trigger switch to impact the nut for several seconds. If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt may turn with the nut, therefore mistaking proper tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and hold the bolt head with a wrench before restarting impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to prevent them from slipping.
7. Using the hook is used to hang up the power tool to your waist belt while working.
CAUTION

• When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly not to drop accidentally. If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
• When electing to carry the tool hooked to your hip belt, make sure to detach the tool bit. Failure to do so may result in unexpected injury.
• Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely installed, it may cause an injury while using.
  (1) Removing the hook. Remove the screws fixing the hook with a Philips screw driver. (Fig. 11)
  (2) Replacing the hook and tightening the screws. Install securely the hook in the groove of power tool and tighten the screws to fix the hook firmly. (Fig. 12\

8. Remaining battery indicator
You can check the battery’s remaining capacity by pressing the remaining battery indicator switch to light the indicator lamp. (Fig. 13, Table 5) The indicator will shut off approximately 3 seconds after the remaining battery indicator switch is pressed. It is best to use the remaining battery indicator as a guide since there are slight differences such as ambient temperature and the condition of the battery. Also, the remaining battery indicator may vary from those equipped to a tool or charger.

9. How to use the LED light While the switch is pulled, the LED light will automatically light up the tip portion of the tool. (Fig. 14) The LED light will automatically turn off 10 seconds after the switch is released.
CAUTION
Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking into the LED light. If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your eye will be hurt.
Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the lens. Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in decreased brightness.

10. Tightening mode selector function
CAUTION Do not subject the switch panel to shock or damage. Select tightening mode while the trigger switch is released. Failure to do so could result in malfunction.
Tightening torque can be adjusted according to the type of work by combined use of the High / Low mode selector switch and the auto-stop mode selector switch. (Fig. 15)

(1) High / Low mode selector switch (Fig. 16) The tightening mode switches between 4 different rotation speeds each time the High / Low mode selector switch is pressed.
When the auto stop is ON (auto-stop mode indicator lamp is ON):
When the trigger switch is pulled, the power tool will apply impact for a preset amount of time and then auto-stop.

2. Auto-stop mode selector switch (Fig. 17)
   Each time the auto-stop mode selector switch is pressed, the auto stop function will switch between ON and OFF.
   When auto stop is OFF (auto-stop mode indicator lamp is OFF): When the trigger switch is pulled, the power tool will continue to apply impact. (Will not auto-stop)

NOTE The appropriate mode differs depending on the bolt
and the material being screwed. Tighten in a few test bolts and adjust the mode setting accordingly. The tightening mode selector function can only be set after the battery has been installed in the wrench and the trigger switch has been pulled once.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Resting the unit after continuous work After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if the work is started again immediately after battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
   CAUTION Do not touch the hammer case as it gets very hot during continuous work.

2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently, when the trigger switch is pulled only slightly (low speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while continuously driving in screws, the components of the electronic circuit parts may overheat and be damaged.

3. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt under impact The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque increases in proportion to the operation time. Use the correct operating time for the bolt.

4. Holding the tool Hold the tool firmly with both hands. In this case hold the tool in line with the bolt. It is not necessary to push the tool very hard. Hold the tool with a force just sufficient to counteract the impact force.

5. Confirm the tightening torque The following factors contribute to a reduction of the tightening torque. So confirm the actual tightening torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the job with a hand torque wrench. Factors affecting the tightening torque are as follows.
   (1) Voltage When the discharge margin is reached, voltage decreases and tightening torque is lowered.
   (2) Operating time The tightening torque increases when the operating time increases. But the tightening torque does not increase above a certain value even if the tool is driven for a long time.
   (3) Diameter of bolt The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the bolt. Generally, a larger diameter bolt requires larger tightening torque.
   (4) Tightening conditions The tightening torque differs according to the torque ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with the same size threads are used. The tightening torque also differs according to the condition of the surface of workpiece through which the bolts are to be tightened. When the bolt and nut turn together, torque is greatly reduced.
   (5) Using optional parts The tightening torque is reduced a little when an extension bar, universal joint or a long socket is used.
   (6) Clearance of the socket A worn or deformed hex. or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to the fitting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque. Using an improper socket that does not match to the bolt will result in an insufficient tightening torque.

7. Tightening torque varies, depending on the battery’s charge level.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING Pull out the battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.

1. Checking the condition of the socket A worn or deformed hex. or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to the fitting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque. Pay attention to the wear of socket holes periodically, and replace them with a new one if needed.

2. 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.

3. Maintenance of 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Disposal of the exhausted battery
   WARNING
   Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery must explode if it is incinerated. The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of it’s useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal

7. 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, significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge. However, significantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to five times. If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

8. 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.
