Operational Cautions - Metabo HPT WH 18DBFL2 Manual De Instrucciones

English
9. Tightening and loosening screws
Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit in
the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten it.
Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit
fi tting the head of the screw.
CAUTION
● Applying the impact driver for too long tightens
the screw too much and can break it.
● Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an
angle to that screw can damage the head of the
screw and the proper force will not be transmitted
to the screw. Tighten with this impact driver lined
up straight with the screw.
10. Tightening and loosening bolts
A hex. socket matching the bolt or nut must fi rst be
selected. Then mount the socket on the anvil, and grip
the nut to be tightened with the hex. socket. Holding
the tool in line with the bolt, press the power switch to
impact the nut for several seconds.
If the nut is only loosely fi tted to the bolt, the bolt
may turn with the nut, therefore mistaking proper

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Resting the unit after continuous work
After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest the
unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery.
The temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise
if the work is started again immediately after battery
replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
CAUTION
Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot
during continuous work.
2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch
This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which
steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently,
when the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low
speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while
continuously driving in screws, the components of
the electronic circuit parts may overheat and be
damaged.

tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and
hold the bolt head with a wrench before restarting
impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to prevent
them slipping.
11. LED light warning signals (Fig. 13)
This product features functions that are designed
to protect the tool itself as well as the battery. While
the switch is pulled, if any of the safeguard functions
activate during operation, the LED light will blink as
described in Table 6. When any of the safeguard
functions are triggered, immediately remove your
fi nger from the switch and follow the instructions
described under corrective action.
Table 6
Remove the cause of the overburdening.
Allow the tool and battery to thoroughly cool.
3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw
The appropriate torque for a screw diff ers according to
the material and size of the screw, and the material being
screwed etc., so please use a tightening time suitable for
the screw. In particular, if a long tightening time is used
in the case of screws smaller than 5/16" (M8), there is
a danger of the screw breaking, so please confi rm the
tightening time and the tightening torque beforehand.
4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt under
impact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts
diff ers with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An
excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt
may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque
increases in proportion to the operation time. Use the
correct operating time for the bolt.
5. Holding the tool
Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands. In this case hold
the tool in line with the screw or bolt.
It is not necessary to push the tool very hard. Hold the tool
with a force just suffi cient to counteract the impact force.
