be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3. Special Safety Information

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle, if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool 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.
Always hold the machine with both hands using the
handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy
shoes when working with this tool.
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).
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.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Do not touch the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
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.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
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).
