4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear safety glasses.
Personal protective equipment such as protective clothing, a safety helmet, non-slip
shoes, and fall protection is recommended.
Wear protective gloves.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Never use the device in a moist/wet environment or near flammable liquids and gases. Danger of explosion!
The device may only be stored in a dry, closed room and must be stored in an area not accessible to children.
The device may never be used as an impact tool.
Secure the device against falling during storage.
The mount (6) may not be used for fall protection!
Do not work without riveting material. The blind rivet may fly off of the riveting tool and cause injuries, even outside of the direct working area! Never point the device at yourself or anyone else.

The collection container (7) must always be screwed on while the device is in operation. Broken rivet
bodies or mandrels will be ejected by the riveting tool and may cause injuries, even outside of the direct working area!
Do not cover the ventilation slots for the motor.
LED light (4): do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.
Remove the battery pack from the device before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.

Protect battery packs from water and moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!

A 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. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately!
If the device is defective, remove the battery pack from the device.
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN 3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently valid specifications when shipping li-ion battery packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder. Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
Reducing dust exposure:

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

Ventilation slots for the motor may not be kept closed or covered; do not insert objects into
6.1 Screw on Nosepiece
Select nosepiece (2) to match rivet diameter (see table on page 2) and screw in (see page 2, image A). Blind rivet should have a little play in the nosepiece (2), otherwise the blind rivet may become stuck.
6.2 Attach Collection Container
Screw on collection container (7) for rivet bodies to the stop (clockwise).
6.3 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (11) before use.
Recharge the battery pack (11) if performance diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be found in the operating instructions of the Metabo charger.
Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power, LiHD" have a capacity and signal indicator (13):
- Press the button (12); the LEDs indicate the charge (13) level.
- If one LED (13) is flashing, the battery pack (11) is almost flat and must be recharged.
6.4 Removing and inserting the battery pack Removing:
Press the battery pack release (10) button and remove the battery pack (11).
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (11) until it engages.
7. Use
7.1 Setting a Blind Rivet
Insert the mandrel of the blind rivet fully into the attached nosepiece (2).
Press and Hold the Switch (8)
Pressing and holding the switch (8) triggers the riveting process. The riveting process will stop once the blind rivet is set. Broken rivet bodies (mandrels) will be retained. Only after you release the switch will the mandrel be ejected, and the device will return to its initial position. The riveting process is completed.

After finishing the riveting process, tip the device back so that the mandrel falls into collection (7) container. Otherwise, you jam the device.
