Metabo SB 760 Operating Instructions Manual page 7

To ensure that the drill chuck is securely fitted:
After initial drilling (clockwise), use a
screwdriver to firmly tighten the safety screw inside
the drill chuck (if applicable / model-specific).
Caution left-handed thread ! 
(see Section 7.9.)
5.1 Assembly of additional handle (2)
For safety reasons, always use the additional
handle supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional
handle (2) counter-clockwise. Push the additional
handle onto the collar of the machine. Slide the
additional handle far enough forward so that it can
be turned. At the desired angle, pull it back and
tighten firmly.
6. Use
6.1 Adjusting the Depth Stop
Loosen the additional handle (2). Set depth stop (5)
to the desired drilling depth and retighten additional
handle.
6.2 Setting direction of rotation, 
transport lock (switch-on lock)
Do not activate the rotation selector switch (8)
unless the motor has completely stopped.
See page 2.
R = Clockwise setting
L = Counter-clockwise setting
0 = Central position: transport lock setting
(switch-on lock)
The drill chuck must be firmly screwed onto
the spindle and the safety screw inside the drill
chuck (if applicable / model-specific) must be firmly
tightened with a screwdriver. (Caution, left-handed
thread !) If rotated counterclockwise (e.g. when
screwing) it could otherwise become loose.
6.3 Selecting a gear
Select the desired gear by turning the 
thumbwheel (1).
Change speed only when the machine 
is in the process of running down 
(briefly switch it on and off).
1st gear (low speed, high torque) 
e.g. for screwdriving, drilling
2nd gear (high speed) e.g. for drilling
6.4 Switching Between Normal Drilling/
Impact Drilling
Select the desired operating mode by pushing the
sliding switch (6).
Drilling
Impact drilling
Work with high speed settings when impact drilling.
Impact drilling and normal drilling
only in a clockwise direction.
6.5 Preselect speed
Use the setting wheel (5) to preselect the maximum
speed. See page 4 for recommended drilling
speeds.
6.6 Switching on/off, changing speed
Switching on, speed: press the trigger (10).
SBE 760: The speed can be changed by
pressing in the trigger.
Release the trigger to switch off.
Continuous activation: While pressing on the
trigger (10), press in the locking button (9) and
then release the trigger. To switch off, press and
release the trigger (10) again.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in
a safe position and concentrate.
6.7 Tool change with (4) chuck
See illustrations A on page 2.
Opening the drill chuck:
Grip the retaining ring and, using the other hand,
rotate the sleeve in the direction of the arrow -1-.
The grating sound (depending on function) which
may be heard after opening the drill chuck is
stopped by turning the sleeve in the opposite
direction.
If the chuck is very tightly secured, disconnect from
mains. Hold the chuck using an open-end spanner
at the flats on its head, and turn the sleeve
vigourously in the direction of the arrow -1-.
Clamping the tool
- Insert the tool -2- as far as it will go.
- Grip the retaining ring and, using the other hand,
rotate the sleeve in the direction of the arrow -3-
until the mechanical resistance which can be felt is
overcome.
- Caution! The tool is not yet fully clamped!
Keep turning the sleeve (it must "click" when
turning) until it cannot be turned any further - only
now is the tool securely clamped.
In the case of a soft tool shank, retightening may be
required after a short period of drilling.
6.8 Tool change with a geared chuck (3)
See illustrations B on page 2.
Opening the chuck: Opening a geared chuck with
the chuck key -1-.
Clamping the tool: Insert tool -2- as far as it will go
and tighten equally in all 3 bores using the chuck
key -3-.
6.9 Unscrew the chuck (when driving screws
without the chuck or for use with attach-
ments)
See illustrations A, B, on page 3.
Note for Fig. A, B: Release by tapping lightly with a
rubber hammer, as shown, and unscrew.
