8. Troubleshooting

in
8.1 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 (7) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (6) and
check the LEDs (7) 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 an "AIR COOLED"
charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. The machine does not run and the LED light
(1) flashes. The restart protection is active. The
machine will not start if the battery pack is
inserted while the machine is on. Switch the
machine off and on again.
9. Accessories
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance
System) battery packs and accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating instruc-
tions.
Battery packs with different capacities:
