7.8 Keyless chuck Fig. G
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be
required after a short drilling period.
Instructions for machines with the designation
SB...:
1. The grating sound which may be heard after
opening the chuck is functional and is stopped
by turning the sleeve in the opposite direction.
2. Clamping the tool:
Turn sleeve in direction "GRIP, ZU" until the
noticeable mechanical resistance has been
overcome.
Caution! The tool is not yet clamped! Keep
turning the sleeve (it must "click" when
turning), until it cannot be turned any further -
only now is the tool securely clamped.
Cleaning: from time to time, hold the machine
vertically with the chuck facing downwards and
turn the sleeve fully in the direction "GRIP, ZU"
and then turn fully in the direction
"AUF, RELEASE". The dust collected falls from
the keyless chuck.
7.9 Unscrewing the chuck Fig. H
Employ the same procedure when attaching the
chuck, except in reverse order.
7.10 Chuck with quick-change system Quick
(for machines with the designation ...BL
Q...) Fig. I
Removal: push the interlock ring forward (a), pull
off the chuck forwards (b).
To fit: push the interlock ring forward and move the
chuck as far as the limit stop on the drill spindle.

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 Fig. A, B
(The 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 Note:
The LED lamp (13) switches off automatically after
a specific time.
9. Accessories
Only use original Metabo battery packs and
Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
Fit accessories securely. If the machine is operated
in a holder: secure the machine well. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
For a complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or the catalogue.
10. Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must ONLY be
carried out by qualified electricians!
Contact your local Metabo representative if you
have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. See
www.metabo.com for addresses.
You can download a list of spare parts from www.
metabo.com.
11. Environmental Protection
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact
with water!
Protect the environment, and do not dispose
of power tools and battery packs with
household waste. Observe national
regulations on separated collection and recycling
of disused machines, packaging and accessories.
Discharge the battery pack in the power tool before
disposal. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting
(e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
