3. General Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. Pass on your electrical tool only
together with these documents.
4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without properly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control
may occur resulting in personal injury.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4.2 Safety instructions when using long drill
bits:
a) Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with
the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury. Pull the plug out of the
plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are
performed.
4.3 Additional safety instructions
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is
free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes
(e.g. using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured such that they
are not carried along with the drill bit when drilling
(e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench with
screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove
chips and similar material only when the machine is
not in operation.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine
immediately! If the tool jams or catches, the power
supply to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong
force which can arise, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be
used for torque control.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws into
hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break, or a high reverse torque may build up on the
handle.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
