Frequently Asked Questions - BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q I METABO

How to change the chuck of the Metabo BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q I drill?

To change the chuck, use the built-in spindle lock. Insert an Allen key (not supplied) into the internal screw of the chuck and turn counterclockwise. Be sure to disconnect the battery before any intervention.

Which battery is compatible with this model?

This model uses Metabo Li-Ion 18 V batteries from the LTX series. Batteries with capacity from 2.0 Ah to 5.5 Ah are compatible. Use only recommended Metabo chargers.

How to adjust the tightening torque?

Turn the torque adjustment ring located behind the chuck. The numbered notches indicate the torque level. Start with a low setting for delicate screws and increase gradually.

The drill no longer starts, what should I do?

First check that the battery is charged and properly inserted. If the problem persists, test with another battery. If nothing works, contact Metabo after-sales service for repair.

How to use the hammer function?

Set the mode selector to the hammer symbol (for drilling into masonry). Use specific bits for concrete. Hammer is deactivated for drilling in wood or metal.

What is the maximum speed of the drill?

The maximum no-load speed is 2100 rpm in third gear. Use first gear for high torque and third gear for fast drilling.

How to clean the drill after use?

Wipe the exterior with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use solvents or chemicals. Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a soft brush.

Can I use hexagonal bits with this drill?

Yes, the keyless chuck accepts cylindrical and hexagonal bits up to 13 mm in diameter. Make sure the bit shank is tightly clamped.

Is the drill equipped with a motor brake?

Yes, it has an electronic motor brake that quickly stops the chuck when you release the trigger, improving safety and precision.

How to change the direction of rotation?

Use the rotation direction switch located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (tightening) and to the right for reverse rotation (loosening). Do not change direction while the motor is running.
