Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the additional handle supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the electrical tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the switch when the plug is removed from the mains socket or in case of a power cut.
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).
Smaller workpieces must be secured such that they are not carried along with the drill bit when drilling (e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench with screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at standstill.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately! If the tool jams or catches, the power supply to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong force which can arise, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be used for torque control.
Caution with hard screwdriving (driving of screws with either a metric or an imperial thread into steel)! The head of the screw may rip off or high restoring torques may be incurred at the handle.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.

Use only accessories that meet the requirements and parameters specified in this operating manual.
Securely attach accessories. When using the power tool in a stand: securely clamp the power tool. The tool and the accessory may become loose and cause injury.
Noise and vibration values
These values allow the noise and vibration generated during operation of various power tools to be assessed and compared. Depending on the operating conditions, the condition of the power tool and the working (insert) tools, the actual load may be higher or lower. When determining the vibration level, take into account interruptions and periods of operation at reduced (idle) load. Determine the scope of organizational measures for protection
The vibration values take into account the additional values of noise and vibration.
The sum of the three directions is calculated in accordance with EN 60745:
a_h, ID = vibration value (impact drilling in concrete)
a_h, D = vibration value (drilling in metal)
K_h, ID, K_h, D = uncertainty coefficient (vibration)
Noise levels according to the standard:
LpA = sound pressure level
LWA = sound power level
KpA, KWA = uncertainty coefficient
Wear protective goggles!
