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. 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
4.1 Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4.2 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 any adjustments or servicing are performed.
4.3 Additional safety instructions
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are performed.
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. using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured such that they are not carried along with the drill bit when drilling (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 not in operation.
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 which can arise, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be used for torque control.
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.

Reducing dust exposure:

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

6. Initial Operation

Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the g label, match with your power supply.

Australia: Always use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply with a rated residual nt of 30mA or less.

To ensure that the drill chuck is securely fitted: After initial drilling (clockwise), use a
screwdriver to firmly tighten the safety screw inside the drill chuck (if applicable / model-specific).
Caution left-handed thread!
(see Section 7.9.)
6.1 Assembly of additional handle (2)

For safety reasons, always use the additional handle supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional handle (2) counter-clockwise. Push the additional handle onto the collar of the machine. Slide the additional handle far enough forward so that it can be turned. At the desired angle, pull it back and tighten firmly.
7. Use
7.1 Adjusting the Depth Stop
Loosen the additional handle (2). Set depth stop (5) to the desired drilling depth and retighten additional handle.
7.2 Setting direction of rotation, transport lock (switch-on lock)

Do not activate the rotation selector switch (8) unless the motor has completely stopped.
See page 2.
R = Clockwise setting
L = Counter-clockwise setting

The drill chuck must be firmly screwed onto the spindle and the safety screw inside the drill kit (if applicable / model-specific) must be firmlyened with a screwdriver. (Caution, left-handed and!) If rotated counterclockwise (e.g. when swing) it could otherwise become loose.
7.3 Selecting a gear
Select the desired gear by turning the thumbwheel (1).
Change speed only when the machine is in the process of running down (briefly switch it on and off).

1st gear (low speed, high torque) e.g. for screwdriving, drilling

2nd gear (high speed) e.g. for drilling
7.4 Switching Between Normal Drilling/Impact Drilling
Select the desired operating mode by pushing the sliding switch (6).
