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.

Ventilation slots for the motor may not be kept
closed or covered; do not insert objects into
slots.
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

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
the collection (7) container. Otherwise, you
may jam the device.
7.2 Switch on the LED light (4)
