7.1 Multifunctional monitoring system
If the device switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
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.
3. If the current is too high (for example, during
extended periods of overloading) the device is
switched off.
Using the trigger switch, turn off the device (8)
and remove the battery pack. Determine the
cause of the problem and resolve it.
7.2 Setting the feed rate
Set the feed rate using the adjusting wheel (9).
7.3 Switching on and off
Switching on:
press the trigger switch (8).
Switching off: release the trigger switch (8). Note:
The toothed rod is automatically retracted slightly to
avoid dripping.
However, if you activate the trigger switch at brief
intervals (shorter than 1 second), the rod is not
automatically retracted. This allows precise dosage
of volumes.
Note: The motor switches off automatically if either
the cartridge or the plastic bag is empty.
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance
System) battery packs and accessories.
