Tips And Tricks - Metabo PowerMaxx BS Original Instructions Manual

6. Use
6.1 The machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is
released (8).
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger (8). Then
continue working as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
6.2 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use.
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
Removing the battery pack
Press the battery pack release (9) button and
remove the battery pack (10).
To fit
Slide in the battery back (10) until it engages .
6.3 Setting the direction of rotation,
engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Do not activate rotation selector switch (7)
unless the motor has completely stopped!
Actuate the rotation selector switch (direction of
rotation setting, transporting safety device) (7).
See page 2.
R = Clockwise setting
L = Counter-clockwise setting
0 = Middle position: transportation safety device
(Switch-on lock) set
6.4 Selecting gear stage
1st gear (low speed,
particularly high torque, preferable for
screwing)
2nd gear (high speed, preferable for drilling)
6.5 Setting torque control, drilling
Turn selector barrel (torque, drilling) (3).
1...20 = Torque setting (with torque control) -
intermediate positions are also possible.
= Drilling stage setting (max. torque,
without torque control)
To avoid motor overloading, do not lock
the spindle.
6.6 Switching power tool on/off, setting
speed
To start the machine, press the trigger (8). The
speed can be changed by pressing in the trigger.
6.7 Chuck with Quick replacement
system (for PowerMaxx BS Quick...)
To remove: See page 2, fig. A. Push the interlock
ring forward (a), advance and pull off the chuck (b).
To mount: Push the interlock ring forward and move the
chuck as far as the limit stop on the drill spindle.
6.8 Chuck (for PowerMaxx BS)
See page 2, fig. B.
To mount: unscrew protective cap (11). Screw the
quick-clamping chuck onto the spindle thread. The
quick-clamping chuck can be tightened (and
released again) with an open-jawed spanner.

7. Tips and Tricks

When working with long screw bits or bit holders, we
recommend the use of the bit clamping bush
6.31281 (see Accessories chapter).
8. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they
need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.
See page 4.
