4. Special safety instructions
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
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 in such a way
that they are not carried along with the screwdriver bit

(e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench with
screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove
debris and similar material only when the machine is
at a standstill.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of
time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of
time may affect your hearing.
Note that high counter-torques are possible during
work. Always hold the machine firmly, adopt a steady
stance and focus on your work.
Do not keep the ventilation slots closed.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be
harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Avoid inadvertent starts by making sure that the
machine is switched off before fitting the battery
pack.
Remove the battery pack from the tool before any
adjustments, conversions, servicing or cleaning are
performed.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak

plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and
comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with
clean water and seek medical attention immediately!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.

specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery packs. If
necessary, consult your freight forwarder. Certified
packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and
no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack from the
machine for sending. Prevent the contacts from
