Environmental Protection; Technical Specifications - Metabo MT 18 LTX Manual Original

en ENGLISH
Avoid switching on the machine accidentally:
always switch it off when the battery pack is
removed from the machine.
Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust
and chips. After switching off the machine,
only place it down when the motor has come to a
standstill.
Machines with slide switch:
Switching on: Push the slide switch (8) forwards
(continuous operation).
Switching off: Push the slide switch (8)
backwards.
7.5 Setting the oscillating frequency
Set the oscillating frequency on the adjustment
wheel (5). This can also be done during operation.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.6 Working Directions
Sanding: The best way to determine the ideal
setting is through a practical trial. Apply moderate
pressure on the machine and move it to and fro
across the surface.
Cutting, sawing: Set high oscillating frequency.
Press down the machine evenly. Avoid jamming!
For plunge cuts: A light tilting movement increases
the work progress.
Scraping: Set medium to high oscillating
frequency.
Hold the accessory at a flat angle to the workpiece.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1 The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED (12) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (11)
and check the LEDs (12) 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 an "AIR COOLED"
charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. The machine does not run and the LED light
10
(1) flashes. The restart protection is active. The
machine will not start if the battery pack is
inserted while the machine is on. Switch the
machine off and on again.
9. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
Fit accessories securely. If the machine is operated
in a holder: Secure the machine well. Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
A Chargers: ASC Ultra, ASC 15, ASC 30 and others
B Battery packs with different capacities. Use
battery packs only with voltage suitable for your
power tool.
See www.metabo.com or the catalogue for a
complete range of accessories.
10. Repairs

11. Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! Used
power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling
in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC
on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in national legal systems.
Battery packs may not be disposed of with regular
waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your
Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with
water!
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the
power tool. Prevent the contacts from short-
circuiting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive
tape).
