Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that
these drills, identified by type and serial number *1),
meet all relevant requirements of directives *2) and
standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see
page 3.

2. Specified conditions of use

The drill is suitable for non-impact drilling into metal,
wood, plastic and similar materials. It is also suit-
able for thread tapping and screwdriving.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.

3. General safety instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay atten-
tion to all parts of the text that are marked
with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these
documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Use the additional handle supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. If the cutting accessory
contacts a "live" wire, exposed metal parts of the
electrical tool may become "live" and give the oper-
ator an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before carrying
out any adjustments or servicing.
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.
by using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured to prevent
them from being carried along with the drill bit
during the drilling process (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
at a standstill.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine immedi-
ately! If the tool jams or catches, the power supply
to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong force
that can be generated, always hold the machine
with both hands using the handles provided, stand
in a steady position and concentrate on the work
being carried out.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be
used for torque control.
Caution when carrying out hard screwdriving
(driving of screws with either a metric or an imperial
thread into steel)! The head of the screw may be
ripped off or high restoring torques may occur on
the handle.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the dust created using this power tool
may contain substances known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these substances are: lead (from lead-
based paints), crystalline silica (from bricks cement,
etc.), additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservative), some types of wood (like oak and
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or nearby persons are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear protective equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles 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 it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.
