ENG 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). Secure small workpieces, e.g. by clamping in place with screw clamps. Work only with the additional handle correctly installed. Always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate. A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec- tive additional handle. Metabo Sautomatic safety clutch. When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately! Do not touch the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Caution must be exercised when driving screws into hard materials (driving screws with metric or imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may break or a high reverse torque may build up on 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 conjunc- tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro- mate, 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. - The work place must be well ventilated. - The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with. Protect battery packs from water and moisture! Do not expose battery packs to naked flame! Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs! Slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-ion battery packs! If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

8.1 Depth Stop Setting

Release the additional handle (17). Set depth stop (1) to the desired drilling depth and retighten addi- tional handle.

Automatic protection mode If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated auto- matic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is released (9) . Causes and remedies:

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.

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.

Charge the battery pack before use (11) . If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 40°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.

Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with water! Only for EU countries: Never dispose of power tools in your household waste! In accordance with European Guideline 2002/96/EC on used electronic and electric equip- ment and its implementation in national legal systems, used power tools must be collected separately and handed in for environmentally compatible recycling. Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the power tool. Prevent the contacts from short- circuiting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).

= no-load speed dia. max. = maximum solid drill diameter

max. = maximum impact rate W = single impact force Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745:

h, HD = vibration emission value (hammer drilling into concrete)

h,HD = uncertainty (vibration) The vibration emission level given in this informa- tion sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It is also suitable for a provisional estimate of the vibratory load. The specified vibration level applies to the main applications of the power tool. If the power tool is used for other applications, however, and with different tools, or maintenance is insufficient, the vibration level can deviate. This can considerably increase the vibratory load over the entire working period. For an accurate estimate of the vibratory load, times in which the machine is switched off, or when it is running but not actually in use, should also be taken into consideration. This can consid- erably reduce the vibratory load over the entire working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: service the tool and the accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns. Typical A-weighted sound levels:

= sound pressure level

= acoustic power level

= uncertainty (noise level) During operation the noise level can exceed 80 dB(A). Wear ear protectors! Measured values determined in conformity with EN 60745. The technical specifications quoted are subject to tolerances (in compliance with the relevant valid standards). 14 Technical Specifications 17027010_0311 BHA 18 LT LTX 36 LTX Compact.book Seite 14 Donnerstag, 10.
