Original instructions ENGLISH en 1. Declaration of Conformity We declare under our sole responsibility: These impact drills, identified by type and serial number *1), comply with all relevant requirements of the directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file at *4) - Fig. P 2. Specified Use 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). Smaller workpieces must be secured such that they are not carried along with the drill bit when drilling (e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench with screw clamps). Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at standstill. The machine is suitable for drilling, without impact, in metal, wood, plastic and similar materials and for impact drilling in concrete, stone and similar materials. It is also suitable for thread tapping and for screwdriving (not SB 850-2). The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by improper use. Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed. 3. General Safety Instructions Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately! If the tool jams or catches, the power supply to the motor is restricted. Due to the strong force which can arise, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate. The Metabo S-automatic safety clutch must not be used for torque control. Caution with hard screwdriving (driving of screws with either a metric or an imperial thread into steel)! The head of the screw may rip off or high restoring torques may be incurred at the handle. For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! WARNING - Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury. WARNING - Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents. 4. Special Safety Instructions Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use the additional handle supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the electrical tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are performed. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: - 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. Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the switch when the plug is removed from the mains socket or in case of a power cut. 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, 13
