7.8 Tool change keyless chuck (KH...Q)
Use the keyless chuck when drilling without impact
into metal, wood etc. and for driving in screws.
Clamp tool (see p.2, fig. B):
Turn sleeve (2) in direction "OPEN, RELEASE" (a).
Insert tool as deeply as possible (b) and turn sleeve
in the opposite direction, until any perceptible
mechanical resistance is overcome (c). Caution!
The tool is not yet clamped!
Continue to turn vigorously (you must hear a
"click"), until you cannot turn any further - only
now is the tool safely clamped.
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required
after a short drilling period.
Notes: The rattling that might be heard after
opening the chuck (depending on the function) can
be eliminated by turning the sleeve into the other
direction.
If the chuck is extremely tight: remove the battery
pack from the machine. Hold the drill chuck at the
drill chuck head using an open-end spanner and
turn the sleeve (2) vigorously in the direction
"OPEN, RELEASE".
7.9 Metabo VibraTech (MVT)
For reduced vibrations and less stress on the
hands.
Always apply a moderate amount of pressure to the
handle when pushing down the machine and do not
force. Vibrations are reduced most effectively at the
central position (11).

8. Maintenance and Cleaning

Vent slots:
The vent slots of the machine should be cleaned
periodically.
Remove the battery pack periodically and wipe the
contact area of the battery pack and machine with a
dry cloth and remove drilling dust.
Always keep the spindle (6) clean and grease it a
bit. (Special grease: Order No.: 6.31800)
Cleaning the keyless chuck (1):
After prolonged use, hold the chuck vertically with
the opening facing downwards and fully open and
close it several times. The dust collected falls from
the opening. Regular use of cleaning spray on the
jaws and jaw openings is recommended.

9. Troubleshooting

Metabo safety shutdown: the machine has SHUT
DOWN by itself. If the speed suddenly drops (for
example, if the machine suddenly seizes or
kickback occurs), the machine switches off. Switch
off the machine at the trigger switch (13). Switch it
on again and continue to work as normal. Try to
prevent the machine from seizing.
