Tips And Tricks; Troubleshooting - Metabo SE 2500 Original Instructions Manual

When the depth stop (12) is inserted, the insertion
depth changes by 0.25 mm per notch. If screw
insertion has to be deeper: Insert stop sleeve If the
screw insertion is too deep: Unscrew stop sleeve.
Removal of the depth stop (12) does not alter the
set screw insertion depth. After refitting, work can
continue at the same insertion depth.
When screwing in crosshead screws, press
the machine with the screwdriver bit (13) firmly
against the screw until the screw is fully inserted;
otherwise the bit could slip out of the cross recess
and damage the material.
7.5 Working without depth stop (12)
Adapt the speed of the screwing process by
carefully pressing in the trigger switch.
When the screwing process is complete, switch off
the machine by releasing the trigger switch (3).
7.6 LED lamp (depending on the model)
For working in badly lit areas. The LED light (6)
lights up when the machine is switched on.

8. Tips and Tricks

Press the machine firmly against the screw until the
screwing process is complete.
This is particularly important when inserting dry wall
screws (with coarse threads) in gypsum
plasterboards because the large thread pitch of the
screws means that they are very quickly inserted.
If the stop sleeve (17) is stiff, it can be removed to
clean the thread.
.

9. Troubleshooting

If the screwdriver bit (13) is fitted very firmly in the bit
holder (14): remove the screwdriver bit with a pair of
pliers.
9.1 Only for cordless machines; the
machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
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 one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat. (10) If necessary, press the (11) button and
check the LEDs (10) to see the charge level. 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: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
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 switch (3).
Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent
the machine from seizing.
ENG 10. Maintenance
Disconnect the mains plug or remove the battery
pack from the machine before starting any
maintenance work.
Remove the depth stop (12) regularly and clean it
It is possible that particles deposit inside the power
tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the
power tool.
The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often
and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents
using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air.
Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from
the power source and wear protective glasses and
dust mask.
