3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical 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, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling (machines with the designation SB). Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners 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 spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector).

Safety instructions when using long drill bits:
a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage and loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

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!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.

Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.

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 light (13): do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.

CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.

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, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, 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, 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 clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
– Vacuum or wash the 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 Metago.
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).

7.1 Battery pack, capacity and signal indicator Fig. B

Charge the battery pack before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be found in the operating instructions of the Metago charger.

7.2 Removing and inserting the battery pack Fig. C

7.3 Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety

device (switch-on lock) Fig. D

7.4 Selecting the gear Fig. E

Do not set the switch (4) unless the motor has stopped completely!

7.5 Setting the torque limitation, screwdriving, drilling and impact

drilling Fig. F

= Set screwdriving by turning the sleeve (3) AND set the torque (with torque limitation) by turning the sleeve (2) – intermediate settings are also possible.

= Set drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max. torque, without torque limitation) To avoid overloading the motor, do not jam the spindle.
Machines with the designation SB…:

= Set impact drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max. torque, without torque limitation) To avoid overloading the motor, do not jam the spindle.

7.6 Switching On/Off, setting the speed Fig. A

Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (14). Press in the trigger switch to increase the rotational speed.

Switching off: release the trigger switch (14). Note: the noise that the machine makes when it switches off is due to the design (quick stop) and has no influence on the function or the service life of the machine.

7.7 Keyless chuck Fig. G

With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required after a short drilling period.
Information for machines with the designation BS 18 LT BL, BS 18 LT BL SE, SB 18 LT BL, SB 18 LT BL SE: :

1. The grating sound which may be heard after opening the chuck is functional and is stopped by turning the sleeve in the opposite direction.
2. Clamping the tool: Turn sleeve in direction “GRIP, ZU” until the noticeable mechanical resistance has been overcome. Caution! The tool is not yet clamped! Keep turning the sleeve (it must “click” when turning), until it cannot be turned any further only now is the tool securely clamped.

Cleaning: from time to time, hold the machine vertically with the chuck facing downwards and turn the sleeve fully in the direction “GRIP, ZU” and then turn fully in the direction “AUF, RELEASE”. The dust collected falls from the keyless chuck.

7.8 Unscrewing the chuck Fig. H

Employ the same procedure when attaching the chuck, except in reverse order.

7.9 Chuck with quick change system (with BS 18 LT BL Q) Fig. I

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 The machine’s multifunctional monitoring system

If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch (14) is released.
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. Battery pack almost empty Fig. A, B (The electronics protect the battery pack against damage through total discharge). If one LED (11) is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the button (10) and check the LEDs (11) 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 an “AIR COOLED” charger.
   Note: the machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed.

3. Metabo safety shutdown: the machine has SHUT DOWN by itself. If the speed suddenly drops (for example, if the machine suddenly seizes or kickback occurs), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (14). Switch it on again and continue to work as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

9. Accessories

Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance System) battery packs and accessories.

Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions.
