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.

direction of the rotation.
24. Use a step up transformer when a long extension
cable is used.
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.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER
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 "
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.
