7 Initial Operation

7.1

Assembly of the additional handle

For safety reasons, always use the addi-
tional handle (3) supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional
handle (3) anticlockwise. Push the additional
handle onto the collar of the machine. Insert the
depth stop (1) . Securely tighten the additional
handle at the angle required for the application.
7.2

Carrying strap

If necessary, hang the hook on the Metabo
carrying strap (6) on the eyelet (7). Set the carrying
strap (6) to the desired length.
Carrying:
To prevent unintentional start-up, move the
rotation selector switch (8) to centre posi-
tion (transporting safety device).
Never carry with a tool inserted.
The machine must only be carried with the
Metabo carrying strap (6) across chest and
back (illustration a, page 3). Hold the machine
steady.
The machine must NOT be carried with the
carrying strap (6) around your neck (illustration b,

8 Use

8.1

Depth Stop Setting

Release the additional handle (17). Set depth stop
(1) to the desired drilling depth and retighten addi-
tional handle.
8.2

Automatic protection mode

If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated auto-
matic protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is
released (9) .
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging
totally and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED is flashing (13) , the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the (12) button
and check the LEDs (13) to see the charge
level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must
be recharged.

2. Long continuous overloading of the machine
will activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger (9) . Then
continue working as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
8.3

Battery pack

Charge the battery pack before use (11) .
If performance diminishes, recharge the
battery pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C
