- 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.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace anSWd
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.

6. Initial Operation/Setting
Remove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make
sure that the machine is switched off.
6.1 Battery pack
For SSW 18 LTX 1450 BL and
SSW 18 LTX 1750 BL the battery packs 1.5 Ah, 2.0
Ah, 3.0 Ah und LiHD 4.0 Ah cannot be used! The
machine does not start!
We recommend the use of LiHD battery packs with
a capacity of at least 5.5 Ah. If other battery packs
are used, a reduced performance is to be expected.
Charge the battery pack (7) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power" have a capacity
and signal indicator (10):
- Press the button (9), the LEDs indicate the charge
level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release button (8) and pull
the battery pack (7) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (7) until it engages.
6.2 Setting the direction of rotation,
engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Only operate the rotation selector switch /
transporting safety device (2) when the motor
is at standstill!
Actuate the rotation selector switch / Engage the
transportation lock (2).
R = Clockwise setting
(drive in screws)
L = Anti-clockwise setting
(undo screws)
0 = middle position: transportation safety device
(SSWwitch-on lock) set
6.3 Switching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (3).
Switching off: Release the trigger (3).
6.4 Speed / tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected
directly. The lower the speed, the lower the
tightening torque.
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly by pressing the trigger (3) firmly or lightly,
thus adapting to working conditions.
