Metabo SSW 18 LTX 600 Original Instructions Manual page 9

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust
air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust
deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing
stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

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
Charge the battery pack before use (5).
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C
and 30°C.
"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and
signal indicator: (9)
- Press the button (8), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
Removal:
Press the battery pack release (7) button and pull
the battery pack (5) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (5) until it engages.
6.2 S etting the direction of rotation,
engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Do not actuate the rotation selector switch or
engage the transportation lock (2) unless the
motor has stopped completely!
Actuate the rotation selector switch / Engage the
transportation lock (2)
R = Right rotation set
(insert screws)
L = Left rotation set
(remove screws)
0 = Central position: transportation lock setting
(switch-on lock)
6.3 S witching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (3).
Switching off: release the trigger switch (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.
You can use the setting wheel (5) on the SSW 18
LTX 400 BL to adjust the rotational speed and
tightening torque (12 stages).
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
6.5 Changing SSW... screwdriving bits
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 has two elements:
inserting the screw and
tightening the screw with the percussion
mechanism.
The tightening torque depends on the impact
duration.
