directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file at *4)
- Fig. P
2. Specified Use
The machine is suitable for drilling, without impact,
in metal, wood, plastic and similar materials and for
impact drilling in concrete, stone and similar mate-
rials. It is also suitable for thread tapping and for
screwdriving (not SB 850-2).
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
3. General Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. Pass on your electrical tool only
together with these documents.
4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use the auxiliary handle. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without prperly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control
may occur resulting in personal injury.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4.2 Safety instructions when using long drill
bits:
a) Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with
the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury. Pull the plug out of the
plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are
performed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
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).
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).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove
chips and similar material only with the machine at
standstill.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety
clutch responds, switch off the machine immedi-
ately! If the tool jams or catches, the power supply
to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong force
which can arise, always hold the machine with both
hands using the handles provided, stand securely
and concentrate.
The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be
used for torque control.
Caution with hard screwdriving (driving of screws
with either a metric or an imperial thread into steel)!
The head of the screw may rip off or high restoring
torques may be incurred at the handle.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
