5. Initial Operation
5.1 Assembly of the additional handle
For safety reasons, always use the additional
handle (3) supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional handle
(3) anticlockwise. Push the additional handle onto the
collar of the machine. Insert the depth stop (1). Securely
tighten the additional handle at the angle required for
the application.
5.2 Carrying strap
If necessary, hang the hook on the Metabo carrying
strap (6) on the eyelet (7). Set the carrying strap (6)
to the desired length.
Carrying:
To prevent unintentional start-up, move the
rotation selector switch (8) to centre position
(transporting safety device).
Never carry with a tool inserted.
The machine must only be carried with the
Metabo carrying strap (6) across chest and
back (illustration a, page 2). Hold the machine
steady.
The machine must NOT be carried with the carrying
strap (6) around your neck (illustration b, page 2).
6. Use
6.1 Depth Stop Setting
Release the additional handle (17). Set depth stop
(1)to the desired drilling depth and retighten
additional handle.
6.2 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 is released (9).
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 flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED is flashing (13), the battery pack is almost
flat. If necessary, press the (12) button and check
the LEDs (13)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 your "AIR COOLED"
charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger (9). Then
continue working as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
6.3 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" li-ion battery packs have a capacity
and signal indicator: (13)
- Press the button (12), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
