Metabo KHA 18 LTX Operating Instructions 4 - Page 10

en ENGLISH specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work (see chapter 9.), thus less 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 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 5.

Commissioning 6.1 Assembly of the additional handle For safety reasons, always use the additional handle supplied. Open the clamping ring by turning the additional handle (1) counter-clockwise. Push the additional handle onto the collar of the machine. Insert the depth stop (4). Securely tighten the additional handle at the angle required for the application. 6.2 Battery pack Charge the battery pack (14) before use. If performance diminishes, recharge the battery 10 pack. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 30°C. Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power" have a capacity and signal indicator (13): - Press the button (12), the LEDs indicate the charge level. - If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged. 6.3 Removing and inserting the battery pack Removal: Press the battery pack release button (16) and pull the battery pack (14) forwards . To insert: Slide the battery pack (14) in until it engages. 6.4 Carrying strap If necessary, hang the hook on the Metabo carrying strap (7) on the eyelet (8). Set the carrying strap (7) to the desired length. Carrying: To prevent unintentional start-up, move the rotation selector switch (9) to centre position (transporting safety device). Never carry with a tool inserted. The machine must only be carried with the Metabo carrying strap (7) across chest and back (illustration a, page 2). Hold the machine steady. The machine must NOT be carried with the carrying strap (7) around your neck (illustration b, page 2). 7. Use 7.1 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 (10) 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 flat: (the electronics prevent the battery pack form discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat. (15) If necessary, press the (12) button and check the LEDs (13) 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.
