SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.

CAUTION
●
When the battery charger has been continuosly
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes
rest until the next charging.
●
If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due
to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot
lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
●
When the pilot lamp flikers rapidly in red (at
0.2–second intervals), check for and take out
any foreign objects in the charger’s battery
installation hole. If there are no foreign objects,
it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.

CAUTION
●
The dust cup and dust collector (B) are for
exclusive use of concrete drilling work. Do not
use them for wood or metal drilling work.
●
Insert dust collector (B) completely into the
chuck part of the main unit.
●
When turning the rotary hammer on while
dust collector (B) is detached from a concrete
surface, dust collector (B) will rotate together
with the drill bit. Make sure to turn on the switch
after pressing dust cup on the concrete surface.
When using dust collector (B) attached to a drill
bit that has more than 190 mm of overall length,
dust collector (B) cannot touch the concrete
surface and will rotate. Therefore, please use
dust collector (B) by attaching to drill bits which
have 166 mm, 160 mm, and 110 mm overall
length.
●
Dump particles after every two or three holes
when drilling.
●
Please replace the drill bit after removing dust
collector (B).
4. Selecting the driver bit
Screw heads or bits will be damaged unless a bit
appropriate for the screw diameter is employed to
drive in the screws.
5. Confirm the direction of bit rotation (Fig. 9)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the push button.
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit
counterclockwise. (See Fig. 9) (The and marks

CAUTION
●
Application of force more than necessary will not
only expedite work at all, but will deteriorate the
tip edge of the drill bit and reduce the service life
of the rotary hammer in addition.
●
Drill bit may snap offwhile withdrawing the rotary
hammer from the drilled hole. For withdrawing, it
is important to use a pushing motion.
●
Do not attempt to use the rotary hammer in
the rotation and striking mode with the drill
chuck and chuck adapter attached. This would
seriously shorten the service life of every
component of the machine.
4. When driving wood screws (Fig. 13)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the driver
bit easily slips offthe heads of slotted-head screws.
(2) Tightening wood screws
Prior to tightening wood screws, make pilot holes
suitable for them in the wooden board. Apply the bit to
the screw head grooves and gently drive the screws
in the holes.

7. Switching between the “SAVE” and the “POWER”
modes
The hammering force of the hammer can be increased
or decreased to conform with intended usage, by
operating the shift knob as per Fig. 17.
Adjust the force to match the usage intended.
Shift knob “POWER” mode
“SAVE” mode
Fig. 17
(1) “SAVE” mode ... decreased hammering force
This can prevent thin drill bits which are less than
4.3 mm in diameter, from being bent or broken.
(2) “POWER” mode ... increased hammering force
○
This can be used to speedily and efficiently drill holes
when the drill bits which are being used are greater
than 4 mm in diameter.
○
This can be used to drill holes into wood or metal.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor malfunctioning
and degraded efficiency, replace the drill bit with a
new one or resharpening without delay when abrasion
is noted.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened, screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 20)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the
carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn
to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep
carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be
sure to use the metabo HPT Carbon Brush Code No.
328481.
Wear limit

6. How to replace grease
Low viscosity grease is applied to this rotary hammer
so that it can be used for a long period without
replacing the grease. Please contact the nearest
service center for grease replacement when any
grease is leaking from loosened screw. Further use
of the rotary hammer despite the grease shortage
causes seizure to reduce the service life.
CAUTION
A specific grease is used with this machine,
therefore, the normal performance of the
machine may be badly affected by use of other
grease. Please be sure to let one of our service
agents undertake replacement of the grease.
7. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
8. Disposal of the exhausted battery
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The
battery must explode if it is incinerated. The
product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable.
At the end of it’s useful life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this
battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste officials for details
in your area for recycling options or proper
disposal.
9. Storage
Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the
reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
