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.
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
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

5. Initial Operation/Setting
Remove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make
sure that the machine is switched off.
5.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use (6).
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and
signal indicator: (10)
- Press the button (9), the LEDs indicate the charge
level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
Removal:
Press the battery pack release (8) button and pull
the battery pack (6) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (6) until it engages.
5.2 Setting the direction of rotation, engag-
ing the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Do not actuate the rotation selector switch or
engage the transportation lock (2) unless the
motor has stopped completely!
Actuate the rotation selector switch / Engage the
transportation lock (2)
R = Right rotation set
(insert screws)
L = Left rotation set
(remove screws)
0 = Central position: transportation lock setting
(switch-on lock)
5.3 Switching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (3).
Switching off: release the trigger switch (3).
5.4 Speed / Tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected
directly. The lower the speed, the lower the tight-
ening torque.
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly by pressing the trigger (3) firmly or lightly,
thus adapting to working conditions.
You can use the setting wheel (6) on the SSW 18
LTX 400 BL to adjust the rotational speed and tight-
ening torque (12 stages).
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
5.5 Changing SSW... screwdriving bits
Inserting screwdriving bit: Fit the tool on the
square attachment (1) until the limit stop.
Removing screwdriving bit: Pull the tool from the
square attachment (1).
The screwdriving bit used must match the
screw.
