ENGLISH ENG contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator. Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are performed. Always work with the additional handle correctly installed. Always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate. Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust mask and sturdy shoes when working with this tool. Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector). Always work with the tool attached correctly. Pull on the tool to check that it is seated correctly. (It must be possible to move the tool a few centimetres in an axial direction.) When working above ground level, make sure that the area underneath is free. Do not touch the tool or parts close to the tool immediately after stopping work because they may still be extremely hot and could cause skin burns. Always lay the power cable away from the back of the machine. A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle. Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists. - Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used. - The work place must be well ventilated. - The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with. 5 Overview 5 Clamp lever for depth stop * 6 Depth stop * 7 Tool lock 8 Switch button 9 Thread for additional handle 10 Metabo VibraTech (MVT): integrated damping system 11 Locking button for continuous activation 12 Trigger switch 13 Carbon brush service indicator (lamp signal for pending carbon brush change) 14 Operating indicator (light signal for mains power supply) 15 Switch for optional impact reduction when working on soft materials * equipment-specific 6 Special Product Features • Metabo VibraTech (MVT): integrated damping system in the handles for reduced vibrations and less stress on the hands • Additional handle can be attached to the housing at 2 different points • Optional impact reduction of up to 30% for working on softer materials such as brick • Lockable switch for convenient operation during continuous chiselling • Electronic smooth start-up for precision drilling • Low-weight cast magnesium gear housing ensures excellent heat dissipation • Service indicator e.g. for signalling pending carbon brush changes and light signal for mains power supply 7 Commissioning Before plugging in, check to see that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the rating label, match with your power supply.
