Frequently Asked Questions - BE 75-X3 Quick METABO

How to change the chuck of the Metabo BE 75-X3 Quick?

The Metabo Quick automatic chuck is easy to change: hold the locking ring, turn the chuck counterclockwise to unscrew it. To install a new bit, insert it and turn clockwise until it locks.

What is the maximum speed of the drill?

The Metabo BE 75-X3 Quick has two speed ranges: 0-1000 rpm in first gear (high torque) and 0-3000 rpm in second gear (high speed).

Can this drill drill into concrete?

No, the Metabo BE 75-X3 Quick is a standard drill, not a hammer drill. It is not suitable for concrete, but works well on steel, wood, and plastics with appropriate drill bits.

How to reverse the rotation direction?

Use the rotation direction selector located above the trigger. Push it left for clockwise rotation (tightening), right for counterclockwise rotation (loosening).

What is the maximum drill bit diameter for wood?

The maximum drilling diameter in wood is 40 mm with wood drill bits. For steel, the capacity is 13 mm.

How to adjust the variable speed?

Speed is variable depending on trigger pressure. Light pressure gives slow speed, stronger pressure accelerates. Additionally, select the speed range with the two-speed selector.

Is the drill delivered with an additional handle?

Yes, it comes with an adjustable additional handle for better control. It screws onto the collar of the drill.

How to maintain the Metabo BE 75-X3 Quick?

Clean the tool with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never use solvents. Regularly check the carbon brushes and replace them if worn. The ventilation openings must remain clean.

What accessories are compatible with the Quick chuck?

The Quick chuck accepts all bits and accessories with a shank of 0.8 to 13 mm. It is compatible with bit holders and impact sockets. Use Metabo quality accessories or equivalent.

Where can I find spare parts for this drill?

Spare parts are available from Metabo after-sales service or authorized dealers. You can also visit the official Metabo website to order parts such as brushes, chuck, or switch.

Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that these 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:

UK CA We as manufacturer and authorized person to compile the technical file, see *4) on page 3, hereby declare under sole responsibility that these 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 see *3) on page 3.

2. Specified conditions of use

The drill is suitable for non-impact drilling into metal, wood, plastic and similar materials. It is also suitable for thread tapping and screwdriving.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by improper use.

Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed.

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. There to follow all instructions listed below may not 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

Use the additional handle supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Hold the power tool on the insulated handles when effecting work during which the power tool used or the screws could hit hidden power lines or its own connection line. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

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.

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before carrying out any adjustments or servicing.

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. by using a metal detector).

Smaller workpieces must be secured to prevent them from being carried along with the drill bit during the drilling process (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 when the machine is at a 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 that can be generated, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand in a steady position and concentrate on the work being carried out.

The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be used for torque control.

Caution when carrying out hard screwdriving (driving of screws with either a metric or an imperial thread into steel)! The head of the screw may be ripped off or high restoring torques may occur on the handle.

Reducing dust exposure:

WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to be cancer, birth defects or other reproductive risk. 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.

ENGLISHen

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.
