INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

Read and understand all of the safety precautions, warnings and operating instructions in the Instruction Manual before operating or maintaining this power tool. Most accidents that result from power tool operation and maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Basic safety precautions are outlined in the “SAFETY” section of this Instruction Manual and in the sections which contain the operation and maintenance instructions. Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by WARNINGS on the power tool and in this Instruction Manual. NEVER use this power tool in a manner that has not been specifically recommended by metabo HPT.

MEANINGS OF SIGNAL WORDS

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if ignored, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or may cause machine damage. NOTE emphasizes essential information. SAFETY

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 01Eng_W6VM_US.p65 10/10/12, 9:3234 English A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. Hold power tools 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.

3. Employ a driver bit appropriate for the screw

4. Apply the screw driver body perpendicularly to a

screw head when driving a screw.

5. NEVER touch the tool bit with bare hands after

6. NEVER wear gloves made from materials likely to

roll up such as cotton, wool, cloth or string, etc.

7. NEVER touch moving parts.

NEVER place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.

8. NEVER operate without all guards in place.

NEVER operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming operation of the tool.

Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. 01Eng_W6VM_US.p65 10/10/12, 9:3245 English Don’t use tool for purpose not intended —for example— don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

10. NEVER use a power tool for applications other

13. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or

handle is cracked. Cracks in the tool’s housing or handle can lead to electric shock. Such tools should not be used until repaired.

14. Blades and accessories must be securely mounted

to the tool. Prevent potential injuries to youself or others. Blades, cutting implements and accessories which have been mounted to the tool should be secure and tight.

15. Keep motor air vent clean.

The tool’s motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely flow at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently.

16. Operate power tools at the rated voltage.

Operate the power tool at voltages specified on its nameplate. If using the power tool at a higher voltage than the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor revolution and may damage the unit and the motor may burn out.

17. NEVER use a tool which is defective or operating

abnormally. If the tool appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service center.

18. NEVER leave tool running unattended. Turn power

off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. Carefully handle power tools.

Should a power tool be dropped or struck against hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed, cracked, or damaged.

20. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent.

Solvents such as gasoline, thinner benzine, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.

21. ALWAYS wear eye protection that meets the

requirement of the latest revision of ANSI Standard Z87.1.

22. When working in high places, check there is

nobody below. During operation, take care not to catch or tighten the cord accidentally.

23. Switch the reversing switch only after the motor

is stopped when it is necessary to change the direction of the rotation.

25. Confirm the tightening torque by a torque wrench

before use in order to ascertain the correct tightening torque to be used.

26. Attach the hex. socket securely onto the anvil. If

the hex. socket is insufficiently secured, it may drop out and cause an accident. For hex. socket attachment refer to "PRIOR TO OPERATION" on page 8.

27. Confirm whether the socket has any crack in it.

OPERATION To ensure safer operation of this power tool, metabo HPT has adopted a double insulation design. “Double insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “ ” or the words “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate. Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet environments. To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:

Only metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and only genuine metabo HPT replacement parts should be installed.

Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve. 01Eng_W6VM_US.p65 10/10/12, 9:3256 English

HOW TO USE THE SCREW DRIVER

1. Switch operation and rotational speed adjustment

Bit rotational speed can be adjusted between 0–6000/min (W6VM) or 0–4500/min (W6V4) or 0–3000/min (W6VA4) or 0–2600/min (W6VB3) or 0–1700/min (W8VB2) varying the degree by which the trigger switch is pulled. Rotational speed increases as the trigger switch is pulled, and reaches a maximum speed of 6000/min (W6VM) or 4500/min (W6V4) or 3000/min (W6VA4) or 2600/min (W6VB3) or 1700/min (W8VB2) when the trigger switch is pulled fully. To facilitate continuous operation, pull the trigger switch and depress the switch stopper. The switch will then remain ON even when the finger is released. By pulling the trigger switch again, the switch stopper disengages and the switch is turned OFF when the trigger switch is released.

2. Screw Driver operation

When the switch is turned ON, the motor starts to run but the hex-socket (or the bit) does not rotate. Attach the hex-socket to the screw head groove, and push the Screw Driver against the screw. The hex-socket then rotates and tightens the screw. CAUTION Ensure that the Screw Driver is held truly perpendicular to the head of the screw. If held at an angle, the driving force will not be fully transferred to the screw, and the screw head and/or hex-socket will be damaged. Hex-socket rotation stops when pushing force is released.

3. Direction of hex-socket rotation

The hex-socket rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) when the reversing switch lever is set to the “R” side position. When the lever is set to the “L” side position, the hex-socket rotates counterclockwise, and can be used to loosen and remove screws. CAUTION Never change the direction of hex-socket (or bit holder) rotation while the mo- tor is running. To do so would seriously damage the motor. Turn the power switch OFF before changing the direction of hex-socket (or bit holder) rotation.

4. Tightening Self-drilling screw

When the supplied magnet bit holder is used to tighten the Self-drilling screw into a steel plate, cut material stuck in the magnet bit will degrade the work efficiency. To prevent this, the non-magnetic bit holder (optional accessory) is recom- mended. The stainless locator with bushing (optional accessory) will prevent the bushing from being worn. MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE HEX-SOCKET OR THE BIT CAUTION Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from receptacle to avoid serious trouble.

1. Dismounting the hex-socket (Fig. 7)

(1) While rotating the Sub-Stopper pull it out from the locator. (2) Remove the hex-socket, hold it with the opposite side of bit by hand or vise and pull out the bit with pliers.

2. Dismounting the bit (Fig. 8)

Remove sub-stopper (G) as the same manner of hex-head socket and remove the bit holder, then pull out the bit with pliers.

3. Dismounting the bit (Fig. 9)

Remove the sub-stopper (F) as the same manner of hex-head socket and remove the bit holder, then pull out the bit with pliers.

4. Mounting the hex-socket or the bit

WARNING: Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the
