Environmental Protection - Metabo SSW 18 LTX 400 BL Instructions Manual

1..10 = adjustable tightening torque
APS = automatic speed control (automatic power
shift):
Loosening: Prevents the screw/nut from
falling by means of automatic speed
reduction after loosening.
Screwing: Prevents overtightening of the
screw/nut by means of automatic
deactivation after the first impact.
2) Stepless adjustment of the tightening torque:
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly in any position of the setting wheel by
pressing the trigger (3) firmly or lightly, thus
adapting to working conditions.
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
6.5 Change screwdriving bit for SSW ...
Inserting screwdriving bit: Fit the tool on the
square attachment (1) until the limit stop.
Removing screwdriving bit: Pull the tool from the
square attachment (1).
The screwdriving bit used must match the
screw.
Damaged screwdriving bits must not be used.
7. Use
Mount the machine on the screw, ensuring it is
aligned straight.
The screwdriving process consists of 2 parts: insert
screw and
tighten screw with the impact mechanism.
The tightening torque depends on the impact
duration.
With an impact duration of approx. 5 seconds, the
maximum tightening torque has been reached.
The torque curve depends on the type of
application:
With a hard screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in hard material such as metal), maximum
tightening torque is already reached after a short
impact duration (a).
With a soft screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in soft material such as wood), a longer
impact duration (b) is required.
Recommendation: determine the correct impact
duration by carrying out trial screwdriving.
Caution! For small screws the maximum torque
can be reached already after
0.5 seconds impact duration.
- This is why the duration of the screwdriving
process must be monitored exactly.
- Adjust the tightening torque by pressing firmly or
lightly on the trigger (3), ensuring that the screw is
not damaged or that the screw head does not tear
off.
Eyelet for fall protection
-The eyelet (12) is designed for attaching a
suitable, original Metabo tool fall protection
securing lanyard. Check the eyelet for damage
prior to each use. Read and follow the operating
instructions of the tool securing lanyard! After
each fall, have the machine checked for damage
by a trained specialist and repaired if necessary.
