socket or in case of a power cut. Not necessary

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).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!

machine at standstill.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch.
When the safety clutch responds, switch off the
machine immediately!
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.
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 conjunc-
tion 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).

6 Special Product Features

Metabo S-automatic safety clutch:
If the insertion tool jams or hooks, the power flow
to the engine will be restricted. Because of the high
power which then arises, always hold the machine
with both hands on the handles, stand safely, and
concentrate on your work.
Auto-stop carbon brushes:
If the brushes are completely worn, the machine
switches off automatically.
With VTC electronics: A LED warns before the
brushes are completely worn.
Restart protection with VTC electronics:
(SBE 1010 Plus)
The restart protection prevents an unintentional
starting of the machine when being plugged in
again and when power is restored after a power
failure.
Overload protection indicator with
VTC electronics:
(SBE 1010 Plus)
The overload protection indicator warns of an
impending overload.
Metabo impulse mode:
(SBE 85, SBE 850 Impuls)
For effortless turning-out seized screws, even with
damaged screw heads.
For exact centering, without the need for a centre
punching, in tiles, aluminium or other materials.
Electronic torque limiter:
(SBE 85, SBE 850 Impuls)
When driving small screws or tapping threads by
means of taps with a small diameter the torque can
be reduced to a value that suits the job to be
performed.
Metabo contact mode:
(SBE 850 Contact)
For intelligent drilling in walls with installed electric
or water lines. As soon as the inserted tool makes
contact with conductive, earthed material or live
supply cables, the machine switches off
immediately.

7 Start of Operation
