Original instructions
We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that
these drills, identified by type and serial number *1),
meet all relevant requirements of directives *2) and
standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see
page 3.
The drill is suitable for non-impact drilling into metal,
wood, plastic and similar materials. It is also
suitable for thread tapping and screwdriving.
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.
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 instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these
documents.
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 power 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.
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
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 when the machine is
not in operation.
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 must be exercised when driving screws into
hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break, or a high reverse torque may build up on the
handle.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the dust created using this power tool
may contain substances known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these substances are: lead (from lead-
based paints), crystalline silica (from bricks cement,
etc.), additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservative), some types of wood (like oak and
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or nearby persons are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear protective equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
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.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.

Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
To ensure that the drill chuck is securely fitted:
After initial drilling (clockwise), use a
screwdriver to firmly tighten the safety screw inside
the drill chuck (if applicable / model-specific).
Caution left-handed thread !
(see Section 8.7.)
6.1 Assembly of additional handle (2)
For safety reasons, always use the additional
handle supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional
handle (2) counter-clockwise. Push the additional
handle onto the collar of the machine. Slide the
additional handle far enough forward so that it can
be turned. At the desired angle, pull it back and
tighten firmly.
7.1 Setting direction of rotation,
transport lock (switch-on lock)
Do not activate the rotation selector switch (7)
unless the motor has completely stopped.
See page 2.
R = Clockwise setting
L = Counter-clockwise setting
0 = Central position: transport lock setting
(switch-on lock)
The drill chuck must be firmly screwed onto
the spindle and the safety screw inside the drill
chuck (if applicable / model-specific) must be firmly
tightened with a screwdriver. (Caution, left-handed
thread !) If rotated counterclockwise (e.g. when
screwing) it could otherwise become loose.
7.2 Selecting a gear
Select the desired gear by turning the
thumbwheel (1).
Change speed only when the machine
is in the process of running down
(briefly switch it on and off).
1st gear (low speed, high torque)
e.g. for screwdriving, drilling
2nd gear (high speed) e.g. for drilling
7.3 Preselect speed
Use the setting wheel (5) to preselect the maximum
speed. See page 4 for recommended drilling
speeds.
7.4 Switching on/off, changing speed
Switching on, speed: press the trigger (9).
The speed can be changed by pressing in the
trigger.
The electronic soft start means that the machine
accelerates continuously until the preselected
speed is reached.

Plus (4)
chuck
See illustrations A, page 2.
Opening the drill chuck:
Using one hand, hold the retaining ring securely
and, using the other hand, turn the sleeve in the
direction of the arrow -1.
The ratchet sound which can possibly be heard
after opening the drill chuck is functional and is
switched off by a reverse rotation of the sleeve.
If the chuck is very securely tightened:
Unplug. Hold
the chuck using an open-end spanner at the flats on
its head, and turn the sleeve vigorously in the direc-
tion of the arrow -1.
Clamping the tool
- Insert the tool -2- as far as possible.
- Using one hand, hold the retainer ring securely.
- Turn sleeve in direction -3- until the noticeable
mechanical resistance has been overcome.
- Caution! The tool is not yet fully tightened!

attached, the screwdriver bit inserted in the
hexagon socket of the spindle is held in place.
Cleaning the keyless chuck:
After prolonged use hold the chuck vertically, with
the opening facing down, and fully open and close it
several times. The dust collected falls from the
opening. Regular use of cleaning spray on the jaws
and jaw openings is recommended.
Electronic signal display (6) (BEV 1300-2)
Rapid flashing - restart protection
When power is restored after a power failure, the
machine - which is still switched on - will not start by
itself for safety reasons. Switch machine on and off
again.
Slow flashing - carbon brushes worn
The carbon brushes are almost completely worn.
If the brushes are completely worn, the machine
switches off automatically. Have the brushes
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Permanently lit - overload
If the machine is subject to continuous overloading
for longer periods, the power input to the machine is
limited. This prevents additional unauthorised
heating of the motor. Run the machine in idling until
it cools down and the electronic signal display
switches off.
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating instruc-
tions.
Fit accessories securely. Secure the machine if it is
operated in a bracket. Loss of control can cause
