Frequently Asked Questions - USE 8 METABO

What types of screws can be driven with the Metabo USE 8?

The USE 8 screwdriver is designed for driving and removing screws, as well as tightening and loosening nuts. It is suitable for cylindrical head, round head, hexagon head, countersunk, and cross-head screws, with or without depth stop.

How do I adjust the torque on the USE 8?

Turn the adjustment ring (1) to the desired position (1 to 10 or max). To go from max to 1, turn in the opposite direction passing through the intermediate positions. The max position disengages the clutch for maximum torque.

How do I quickly change the tool (bit)?

First remove the depth stop (7). Push the quick-release chuck (9) forward and hold it. Remove the tool (8) and insert the new one. Release the chuck and replace the depth stop by turning it until it locks.

How do I adjust the screw depth?

Set the torque to 10. Place the screw on the tool and adjust the stop sleeve (6): for countersunk screws, the head surface should be 2 mm from the sleeve; for other types, the bearing surface 2 mm. Turn the sleeve in 0.25 mm clicks to correct.

What safety precautions should I take?

Read the complete manual. Wear ear protection for prolonged use. Use the auxiliary handle in max. position. Unplug before adjustment. Avoid touching live cables: hold the machine by insulated surfaces. Use a 30 mA residual current device (RCD).

What if the trigger does not depress?

Check that the direction of rotation switch (3) is fully in position R (right) or L (left). If it is between the two, the trigger is locked.

How do I maintain the Metabo USE 8 screwdriver?

Clean the machine regularly and vacuum deposits from the motor ventilation slots. Use only genuine Metabo accessories. Repairs must be carried out by a specialist.

Can I use short screwdriving bits?

Yes, but use a suitable bit holder (see accessories chapter in the manual). Short bits (25 mm) require a bit holder to maintain length.

What is the vibration value of the USE 8?

The vibration emission value (a_h) for screwdriving without impact is measured according to EN 62841. The exact values are on the rating plate or in the manual. They allow comparison of tools and estimation of exposure.

Where can I find spare parts and accessories?

Spare parts lists are available for download at www.metabo.com. Compatible accessories are listed in the manual (sleeves, bit holder, adapter, bits, etc.). Use only genuine Metabo accessories.

Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility: These screwdrivers, identified by type and serial number *1), comply with all relevant requirements of the directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file at *4) - see page 3.

2. Specified Use

The screwdriver is designed to insert and remove screws and also to tighten and release nuts.

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

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

3. General Safety Information

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 cifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result 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

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power 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.

Take care to avoid gas, electricity, and water supplies!

Hold the power tool only at insulated housing parts if there is a danger of making contact with concealed electric cables or the supply cable.

Contact with live wires energises the metal parts of the housing and can cause electric shock to the operator.

Wear hearing protection when working for a longer period of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.

Note that high counter-torques are possible during work.

USE 8: When working with max. torque, always use the side handle supplied.

Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be processed.

6. Initial Operation

Before plugging in check to see that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated e rating label, match with your power supply.

Always install an RCD with a max. trip current of 30 mA upstream.

6.1 Side Handle Installation (USE 8)

Open the clamping ring by turning the side handle (2) counter-clockwise. Slide the side handle onto the spindle collar of the machine. Tighten the side handle at an angle as required for the application.

7. Use

7.1 Switching On and Off

To start the machine, press the trigger (4).

The speed can be changed at the trigger by pressing.

For continuous operation the trigger can be locked with the lock button (5). To stop the machine, press the trigger again.

7.2 Selection of Rotary Direction

Do not actuate the rotation selector switch (3) unless the motor has completely ped.

Selecting the direction of rotation:

R = c l o c k w i s e

L = counter-clockwise

7.3 Tool Change

See page 3, Figure 1.

Remove depth stop (7). Slide the quick-change lock (9) forwards and hold in position. Remove or insert tool (8). Release the quick-change lock (9).

Place depth stop (7) back in position:

When fitting, turn until it snaps into place.

7.4 Working with Depth Stop Set torque setting 10 at setting collar (1).

To preset screw insertion depth, one of the screws to be inserted is fitted on the tool. Adjust stop sleeve (6) by turning as follows (see page 3, Figure 2):

a) Screws whose heads are to sit on the material (socket-head screws, oval head screws, hex screws):

The surface area of the screw head is 2 mm outside the stop sleeve.

b) Countersunk screws:

The surface of the countersunk screw head is 2 mm outside the stop sleeve.

Insert a screw as a test. Correct the insertion depth if necessary:

When the stop sleeve (6) is inserted, the insertion depth changes by 0.25 mm per notch. If screw insertion has to be deeper: insert stop sleeve. If the screw has been too deeply inserted: unscrew stop sleeve.

Removal of the depth stop (7) does not alter the set screw insertion depth. After refitting, work can continue at the same insertion depth.

When screwing in cross-head screws, press the machine with the screwdriver bit firmly fast the screw until the screw is fully inserted; rwise the bit could slip out of the cross recess damage the material.

If the machine is not held exactly vertical in relation to the tool, the depth stop counterbalances this (to a certain extent).

7.5 Working with torque setting Remove depth stop (7).

Make torque setting at setting collar (1). Torque setting:

Position 1-10,

Once the pre-selected torque has been achieved, the screwdriver clutch makes a rattling sound and the screwing procedure can be stopped.

USE 8: On the setting collar (1) for torque setting, position max. and position 1 are arranged beside other. The setting collar cannot be turned directly Position max. to Position 1 (or from 1 to max.)! Turn opposing direction (i.e. passing through the others).

Position max., (only USE 8):

(turn the setting collar until it engages.) The screwdriver clutch is switched off. The maximum possible torque is available.

USE 8: When working with max. torque, always use the side handle supplied.

Note that high counter-torques are possible during work.

8. Tips and Tricks

Screwing in wood: Once the pre-selected torque has been achieved, the screwdriver clutch makes a rattling sound and the screws can slowly be inserted to the desired insertion depth.

When using short screwdriver bits (25 mm): use a bit holder. (see Accessories section).

Screw wooden boards with wing screws (Tek) onto steel: Work at low rotational speeds when drilling through the wooden board. When you reach the steel, work at maximum rotational speed.

9. Troubleshooting

If it is hard to remove the bit holder from the toolholder: pull out with pliers.

If the trigger (4) can not be depressed, check to see that the direction of rotation selector switch (3) is fully set to the R or L position.

10. Maintenance

Clean the machine regularly. This includes vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the motor.
