Metabo BS 18 LT BL Operating Instruction page 9

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

7.1 Battery pack, capacity and signal
indicator
Charge the battery pack before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance dimin-
ishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and

7.3 Setting the direction of rotation,
engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
7.4 Selecting the gear
Do not set the switch (4) unless the motor has
stopped completely!
7.5 Setting the torque limitation,
screwdriving, drilling and impact drilling

= Set screwdriving by turning the sleeve
(3)
AND
set the torque (with torque limitation) by
turning the sleeve (2) - intermediate
settings are also possible.
= Set drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max.
torque, without torque limitation)
To avoid overloading the motor, do not
jam the spindle.

= Set impact drilling by turning the sleeve
(3) (max. torque, without torque limitation)
To avoid overloading the motor, do not
jam the spindle.
7.6 Switching On/Off, setting the speed
Fig. A
Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (13).
Press in the trigger switch to increase the
rotational speed.
Switching off: release the trigger switch (13). Note:
the noise that the machine makes when it
