8. Troubleshooting

8.1 The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch
(14) is released.
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 empty
electronics protect the battery pack against
damage through total discharge).
If one LED (10) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (9) and
check the LED lamps (10) 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. Metabo Safety shut-down: 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 (14). Switch it on again and
continue to work as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
8.2
The LED lamp (13) switches off automatically after
a specific time.
